"Let's just go to the hospital.

"How is she? Is she fine now? Will she be okay? Mrs Jenkins bombarded the doctor with questions.
"Well she is fine for now but she would need to be operated on because we just detected that she has heart disease and she needs the surgery now.
"What? "Charlotte eyes grew wild.
"Where are we going to get that from?"Mrs Jenkins asked while sobbing "I'll go get dad."Charlotte said and rushed out of the hospital.

The bar was mainly known as the poor people home because of how cheap the beer costs there and how they get lots of customers. The bar was also Mr Jenkins second home.
Mr Jenkins is seated by the counter drinking beer and laughing with the waitress when he spotted his daughter.
"Speak of the devil and she appears." Mr Jenkins told the waitress while he lifted his beer and they both laughed.
Charlotte walked up to him while cleaning her face with her shirt. "Dad I need to talk to you." Charlotte frowned at her father.
"As you can see I am having so much fun here. "Mr Jenkins replied, then drank from his beer.
"Dad phoebe is in the hospital. She has a heart disease and you are here drinking beer
and having a chit chat with this slut." Charlotte said pursing her lips. "Hey..."The woman by the counter exclaimed but was cut off by Mr Jenkins.
"How is that my problem uhh, just leave me alone." Mr Jenkins said while laughing. Charlotte sobbed and dashed out of the bar. She kept walking to God knows where.
