He was just about to rub Fabian's back to soothe the coughing when the latter suddenly coughed up blood.
A spray of crimson landed on Shane's shirt. "Dad!" he cried in alarm. " Dad, what's wrong?" "Get out," Fabian rasped.
Just then, Alexis walked into the living room, saying, "Mr. Quinnell Senior, I have Ms. Quinnell on the phone. She's on the highway now and will be arriving in Kingbourne this afternoon. Do you want to... Mr Quinnell Senior!" Alexis' smile was replaced by a look of horror when he saw Fabian's ghastly state, and his voice filled with panic.

Why don't you stay here for the night?" Wynter had always been perceptive. So when she heard Fabian rasping on the other line, she asked gravely, "Grandpa, turn on the camera." "I'm fine," Fabian insisted. "Trustlittle princess." As he said this, he waved his hand, motioning for Alexis to get Shane out of the house.

Alas, Wynter sensed there was something off on Fabian's end." Grandpa, is somebody there with you?" "Just a manager from the company, Fabian lied, suppressing a cough.
She assessed his condition through his labored breathing. "Grandpa, I'm a doctor. You don't have to lie toabout your condition. Did someone make you angry today?"
