At least now he was clear-minded, able to sit up in bed and chat calmly with Cameron.
"You haven't been by in a while. How's the company doing?" Griffin asked.
Cameron kept his head down, eyes glued to the floor.
Griffin continued, "There's nothing to worry about. I have faith in you. You're a whiz, after all." With every word, Cameron's head hung lower.
"Dad, the company went under." Griffin's expression was one of shock.
