It wasn't from her Mum at all. It was Dad, and it was worse than what she expected it was going to be.

Tears where streaming down her face by now. She stepped slowly toward Christopher. "How.... How long have you known? Why didn't you t-tell me? Is this why he's been gone so often? I thought we were a family." Elyon felt as though she had been punched in the stomach as she remembered her mother's words: 'If it weren't for your weirdo-loving father, you'd be in an orphanage right now.' What if Dad.... and they had to go to an orphanage? She couldn't bear the thought. She'd never even known her father was sick. She felt her world crumbling down in front of her.

"Elyon, no!" Christopher tried to grab the letter out of her hands, but it was too late. She'd already reached the stairs of the girls' dorm and was sitting down, and if he tried to go up them to her, he'd slide right back down. He felt his heart ache when he saw how hard she was crying. He hated seeing her upset, and it was a very rare occasion. Only something horrible could make her cry. He thought that this would definately count as horrible.

Christopher frowned as she shakily walked towards him. "El.... we were going to tell you this summer..... we thought there would be more time.... El, please don't be upset. We didn't want you to be hurt. Dad was diagnosed in June, right after you got your letter delivered. That's why I never let you tell him about what Mum does. I don't want them to spend his last years unhappy." He pulled her into a hug, letting her get out all of her tears.
