*Cough, cough*
"Ack!" Aurelie coughed on her handkerchief and saw the bloodstain on it. She immediately hides it in her pocket to prevent others from seeing the blood. She's currently in her room waiting for Geraldine to enter and give her medicine for her sickness.
"How are you feeling?" Geraldine asks as soon as she entered the room and gave her the cup of tea that contains the medication.
"I'm good," Aurelie answered and drinks the tea without pause, feeling the warm liquid sliding on her throat and warming her body.
Geraldine looked at her as she observed Aurelie's condition. One week ago, Aurelie was still able to walk and do simple chores around the house but after one afternoon, her legs buckled, and didn't have the strength to carry her body up.
Since her legs give in, Aurelie only stayed on the bed and they would only bring food to her room and assist her with the other needs.
