Spilling The Truth

[Next Day]

The day went in a blur, everyone waiting for Gracia to wake up soon. Evelyn hadn't left the hospital and Zevian tried to convince but gave up understanding her feelings all too well. Rita had brought Kiana in the evening, whose excitement and positivity that her grandmother needed her beauty sleep and would wake up soon kept everyone a little relieved. 

Kiana opened the energy drink Damien's men had given her. Placing a straw in it, she first took a sip to check if it was good and hummed in approval. Turning to Evelyn, she lifted the bottle and demanded, "Mommy, drink this!" 

Evelyn smiled and shook her head. "No, sweetie. I am good!" Passing back the bottle, she added, "You should drink it."

Kiana narrowed her eyes and with a huff, she got up, making sure she looked bigger than Evelyn. Placing a hand over her Mommy's shoulder, the little girl added, "Are you going like this in front of grandma? She will be sad to see you so pale."
