"What's wrong?" Aveline looked at him, puzzled.

Sidney pressed his lips together, then released her hand and said, "Aveline, my mom's condition is not very stable. She gets confused sometimes, so if she says anything, please don't take it to heart." Aveline's brow furrowed. "Is her condition that serious? Have you discussed it with the doctor?"

Sidney gave a helpless smile. "Her health wasn't great to begin with. After everything she's been through, it's only gotten worse. The fact that she's still holding on is thanks to the hospital care here." His voice was slightly hoarse, his eyes filled with deep, unshakable sadness.

Aveline could feel that sadness as well.

She nodded. "I understand."

Sidney tried to force a smile. "Thank you, Aveline."

She responded, "Let's go in."

"Alright."

The door to the hospital room opened.

A voice came from inside, "Is that you, Sid?"

"Yes, it's me," Sidney replied, opening a bag he held and taking out some of his mother's favorite fruits.

"Mom, I bought some fruit for you. Have a little," Sidney said gently.
