Chapter 12

In the next morning, a doctor with the name Fairweather comes to the cottage with the intention to look for grandpa. He advises, that Pop should go in a hospital, but he still refuses, even if he can't do mostly anything on his own. The doctos looks for Pop again and again, mostly every week, but then, at one day, Pop says, that he is ready to go in a hospital in Braymouth. Even if this is the right decision, it hurts Jess. It hurts her, because she sees an old man, giving up his life. It's very untypically for Pop to give up.
Jess doesn't see the river boy for days, but now, in her pain, it is too much. She runs down to the river and starts crying. This is just far too much for her.
Then she hears a voice whispering:"Why are you crying?"

**************************************************

Of course, my first questions were: Who is the person who asks why she cries? Or isn't it a real person? Maybe the river boy?
I think there many options for the "person" on which the voice belongs. It could be the river boy, but also one of Jess' familiy or maybe Alfred.

Futhermore I think, that the story tends to the end. I think, that Pop is going to die and soon there will be a climax in the storyline, which brings me to the question, whether Pop can finish his picture before he dies.
