It had been a few weeks since Janet came to see Hannah. She felt a little guilty about not being able to see her often. Ever since Janet started working, she had been dealing with unfortunate incidents that seemed to take all her time.

Hannah’s liver transplant surgery was scheduled for 10 o’clock today. Janet still had half an hour to talk with her.

“Don’t be nervous. You won’t feel any pain after they administer anesthesia.”

Janet smiled and combed Hannah’s gray hair.

Tears welled up in Janet’s eyes. She knew Hannah was in so much pain, yet the old woman was smiling to make sure Janet didn’t worry about her.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m not a child.” Janet couldn’t help but smile at her.
