Camila asked Connor softly, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Mmm-hmm," Connor replied with a pitiful look. "My mom knew I was home resting but didn't think to bring me any food."

She sniffled, managing a smile. "Mom, you know what? Connor has been really good to me, taking care of me. You don't need to worry about me. Just get better, and we'll all be fine. From now on, it's going to be good days ahead."
