with something very hot and my skin was burning from the inside out. The next thing I knew,"
he said and sighed, "I found me getting up out of where I laid and running to the WR."
"That's great. Does that mean we can go home, Dad?" Heber's daughter, Hannah, said. "I'm hungry, and I don't want to eat out. No one cooks better than you do, although Mom cooks just as wonderfully."
Anna Maria and Heber laughed hysterically at Hannah's comment. "I didn't know that you didn't like eating out, honey," said Anna Maria. "If you had told me before, I would never have taken you to Mc. Donald's, Burger King, and Wendy's so much."
"I like Denny's," said Hannah. "Their food reminds me of my daddy's food. I love Sonics desserts. I have never tried their main courses or side dishes."
"What do you want to eat, kids? I want you to coincide today. I don't mind making four different dinners, but I'd like to know that you agree on something."
"We never fight, Dad. How do you know if we ever disagreed?"
As they all walked out of the emergency area of the hospital, Heber replied to his son, Roger, "Just because you never fought it doesn't mean that you never disagreed. You disagreed on many things, it's just that you didn't express your differences of opinions because you didn't want to give me and your mother a hard time," as he caressed Roger's face, leaving him gasping and speechless. Then, they walked to Robinson's car.
As Kay got in the passenger's seat and the kids jumped to the back seats of the mini-van, along with Robinson and Anna Maria, Heber got into the driver's seat. He'd never driven a van before and he wanted to know what it was like. Suddenly, Robinson asked, as the doors closed simultaneously, "So you want to go home, guys? I thought you wanted to swing by my house for a while."
"Thanks for the invitation, Rob, but I don't think that there are enough beds for us to spend the night," Hannah said and then gave him a hug to show her gratitude for the way he was treating her and her family.
"I don't have many beds, but I have plenty of Aero-Beds. I use them every time my parents and my brothers and sisters want to spend the night with me."
"You have a beautiful mansion, Rob," said Donovan.
"Yes, I know, but if I don't get the money that I need for my taxes soon, I might lose it." "You need not worry about that," Heber said. "I can very well get my brother to pay your
taxes for the next ten to fifteen years."
Amazed and open-mouthed, Robinson said, "Ten to fifteen years? You guys know how much money that is?"
"Let's see," said Heber and remained pensive for a few minutes, to calculate the sum of money in his mind. "It's $10,000 of taxes per year, so it's $1,000,000 worth of taxes. Oh, and your insurance for the next ten years would be over $300,000."
"That's a lot of money, Dad!" said Donovan, worried.
"I'm sure your uncle Haggai will take care of it. He's got plenty of money to live the good life for the next fifty years and give enough money to 1,000 people for them to do the same."
The kids gasped. "Whoa!" they said in unison.
Suddenly, Haggai's Kia Sedona appeared out of nowhere. He had three $500,000 Lamborghinis, three $300,000 Bentleys, and he used that Sedona to take rides in town, whether it be to the beach or to take his kids to the park. As soon as Heber saw the license plate, he said, "Oh, my God, what's Haggai doing down here?"
