Read Always Be Mine~ for Free Online Page A

opening it I see a man lying in bed. God, this man looks so sad. I feel terrible to see what Emma has to go through trying to care for her father.
    “Mr. Evans?” I ask, peeking in through the door.
    “ Yes, that’s me. What can I do you for sir?” He asks back sounding weak. He looks to be around my parent’s age. I suppose he had Emma later in life. I walk in over to his side of the room. I notice he is sharing his room with three other people. Geez, no privacy? What does a place like this run to have to jam them all in like sardines?
    “ Hi Sir, Mr. Evans, My name is Matthew Daniels. I hope at least I am still a friend of your daughters. Emma. May I sit down for a few minutes?”  I look around at the white walls. Nothing to give off some happy vibes around here, Smells like pine sol and urine. More like a nursing home.
    “ Sure very nice to meet, one of Emma’s friends. I only get her as a visitor. It’s nice to visit with someone different for a change.” He moves to sit himself up on the bed, moving the buttons to make it into a more sitting position. I look over near his bedside and see one of the arrangements I sent Emma. How sweet she brought him flowers.
    “ I brought you something.” I say as I pull out a box from my paper gift bag. I had it wrapped.
    “ What? Why did you go and waste your money on a dying fool like me Mr. Daniels.” He asks me, looking at the wrapped gift I am holding out for him to accept.
    “ Please, call me Matthew. I have heard a great many things about you Sir, and I was really inspired by your daughter’s strength and determination to help you when she can. I just thought you could use this to pass some time away.
    Mr. Evans takes the wrapped package from me, chuckling.
    “Well, Matthew, please call me Tom.” Tom says holding his hand out to shake mine.
    We shake hands and he offers me a seat. “You just missed my Emma. She even brought me flowers. See how beautiful they look. I can’t believe she would do something like that.” She says shaking his head.
    “ They are beautiful that’s for sure. I am sure she just wanted to find another way to put a smile on your face, Sir.” I say watching him open my gift.
    “ What on earth! Do you know how much these cost? An IPAD? Matthew, geez that is really generous, but I cannot accept a gift like this. God, what are they like $500 bucks. No, you need to keep that money for yourself. I don’t need anything really.” He says trying to convince me to take this gift back because I might what? Go hungry?
    “ Sir, have you ever heard of MD Corp? We handle a great deal of business there. Mostly financial planning and investments, but we also dabble in a few other things. Your daughter was offered a contract to erect a new building for us, and her bid and proposal was really outstanding so MD hired her firm to take care of the design for us.” I explain. And Tom’s face is staring like I am speaking in dog language or something.
    “ Well, that’s really impressive Matthew, but what does that have to do with you wasting your hard earned money on a stranger like me. I mean the cost of living isn’t anything to sneeze at these days I really appreciate the offer but…” He tries to explain all this and I stopped him.
    “ But nothing. Sir, MD Corp. is my company Sir. I also own a few exclusive restaurants as well as a telecommunications firm and a shipping freight company. This little things here, it’s really nothing. It’s fully loaded with all the apps an average man might enjoy. It’s linked with my telecommunications service, free of charge of course. And the hospital has free wi-fi here also.
