Nicolae chopped up some vegetables and meat and prepared the pots and other cooking utensils. Fifteen minutes later, he returned to Marie's room with two bowls of delicious chicken soup for both of them.
For people who were experiencing a sad and fragile situation like Marie now, warm food that they could easily digest like chicken soup would make them feel better. That was why Nicolae intentionally cooked it for Marie. He placed the two bowls on the table by the bed and touched Marie's hand to wake her.
"Eat first; otherwise, you will get sick. Remember, tomorrow we still have to cremate your mother. You also have to take her to sea to be united with your father."
Nicolae was very sympathetic to see how Marie tried hard to pick herself up from her pain. Without saying a word, the girl got out of bed then forced herself to enjoy the chicken soup that Nicolae prepared.
