Emilia made them porridge. Just like the day before yesterday, when they visited the hospital.
There was sweet potato, carrots and even scallops. It was all Melissa's favorite. David didn't like them too much, but he kept quiet.
Still holding unto her hand, he looked into her deep viridian eyes. She looked pale and her hands were cold.
He gulped.
Emilia continued to flip the channels on the TV. Nothing caught his attention until a woman he seemed to recognize came on. He thinks she was distressed, but couldn't tell.
She had already turned off the news.
Melissa coughed once.
And twice. And three times. Until she threw up all over the floor.
