Vanessa's Story 3

Not long after, the old lady came back with a bowl of porridge in her hands.

When she saw that Melissa is already awake as well, she smiled and kindly said,

"Oh, it seems like you're also awake now. Wait a bit, I'll bring you a bowl of porridge as well."

Walking towards Vanessa, she placed the porridge on the table beside the bed.

"Eat this while it's still hot. This is good for your body, you'll recover immediately if you eat well."

The old lady said with a kind smile on her face.

She turned her head at Melissa on the other bed and said, "As for you, wait a bit, I'll go get yours now."

The old lady left the room for the second time and everything became quiet again.

The silence remained for a while before Melissa hesitantly opened her mouth.

"Uhm, Young Lady…"

"What?"

"Uhhh, who was that old lady just now?*

When she asked that, Melissa's eyes were going back and forth between Vanessa on a nearby bed and at the door where the old lady just left.
