"Hello?" I answered the unknown number.
"Ma'am? Ma'am Amber Kim?" The person on the other line asked.
"Yes, it's me. What is the matter?" I asked. I don't know this person and I don't want our call to be long.
"This is Nurse Im from Hanlim Hospital. You're father met an accident on his way to the. . ." I immidiately turned of the call and looked at Chris.
"Hanlim Hospital! Faster!" I shouted and then we turned back and drove. I'm so worried than Chris also felt worried about me. I have a weak heart and I can't handle situations like this.
The way to the hospital felt so long. I badly want to see the situation of my father. I tried to call mom but she didn't answer.
When we arrived, I immidiately open the car door and run towards the emergency room. I kept on running that I didn't notice Chris following me.
Chris grabbed my hand and hold it firmly, slightly squeezing it.
"It's gonna be okay." He said and I smile sadly.
"Mom!"
"Honey!" I heard my mom sob as we approach her.
"Where dad?" I asked.
"He is in the ICU. He is critical, honey. Please pray for your father." I felt all the worries that my mom feel. Although I'm already calm, I'm still really worried. Chris then hold my hand again.
I didn't know where were going but I just go with the flow. I'm too tiree and unfocused to complain.
Then, I just saw us in front of the hospital chapel.
"Let's pray. You should tell all your worries to Him." He said and enter the chapel before me. Tears flow down on my eyes. Not because of sadness nor fear and anger.
Realization hit me. That maybe I have sinned and forget about Him for awhile but He is still ready to give me forgiveness.
I slowly enter the chapel and sat beside Chris.
"God, I am sorry for everything. I'm sorry for not believing in you. I'm sorry for not realizing things too soon. I may not save from the crime but You sent me the biggest blessing in return. You sent me the man who accepted me with all of my flaws. You sent good health and blessings to my family. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for not judging me. I'm bringing back myself to you. Please forgive me."
I cried in the chapel with Chris comforting me. After a while, we walked back to the place where mom stayed.
All the burden I felt before was all gone. This is the first time after so long that I felt calm, even in this situation.
I know Chris is happy for me. He brought back my faith in Him and I'm so thankful for that.
As we approach mom, she stood up from her seat and hugged me while crying. "Dad is stable now." She said.
I smiled and hugged her back.
"Thank you, Lord." I whispered.
