"For the last time, I am feeling fine. I feel no different than what I felt this morning. I don't feel like vomiting. However, I am feeling annoyed," Alessandra said, looking at Edgar who sat on the edge of their bed.
Alessandra tried to rest after taking medicine given to her by the doctor but the sound of someone constantly coming in and out of the room got on her nerves. It was even more irritating when she heard someone walking around the bed and fixing the blanket which did not need to be fixed.
Alessandra appreciated the concern but she felt no different from ten minutes ago when it was Alfred who asked her how she was feeling. She could not help thinking about how many days she would have to go through this. Alessandra could look at the clock and predict when someone else would come to check on her.
