"Kenneth, did you pop by the hospital today? Something wrong?" Sienna's face lit up with concern as she greeted her son returning home. Lately, she's been extra cautious about Kenneth's state of mind, always greeting him with a smile, careful not to let any hint of her own worries show. After all, if everyone around him started to lose hope, how could he be expected to stay positive?

"That's good to hear, but you know, your health comes first. If there's anything else, just give me a call. I can come over and keep you company."
