Hm.
I could go for a glass of water right now.
And maybe some soup, too.
Usually, in these situations where the patient can't take care of themselves, isn't there usually a nurse to handle them?
No, maybe the nurse was the masked one.
If so, then they're no-good with how much of a scaredy-cat they are.
…Damn it.
My stomach's grumbling.
*Creak…*
"Sahil khair…"
"Ta…ri…k g…erel."
Hm?
Who dares disturb my slumber—
No way, those two?
The person—people—who entered were the two children I helped some days ago.
The two kids from that place called A yogurt or something along those lines.
The two approached my bed from the side, the older boy standing behind, with the girl taking the lead.
The same position occurred with the talking.
"We are assigned to you as caretakers, sir."
Seriously?
They made children act as caretakers?
…Oh, right, they made them carry heavy bags of coal all day in the past.
Yeah, assigning them as caretakers is definitely something they're capable and more than willing to do.
Still, seriously?
Feeling discontent, I grunted in a very miffed manner.
Somehow, they understood what I said, as the girl assured me in a soothing tone.
"We volunteered ourselves. Mr. Silver was very kind and transferred us from our carrying duties to caretaking instead. Please don't be concerned, carrying coal all day is worse than anything else."
…Well, since they were the ones who asked for it, it's a lot easier to accept.
Oh, well.
Can't do anything about it, anyway.
Seeing that they could understand my grunt last time, I tested to see if they could actually understand what I mean when I grunt.
"Hrm."
"Water? Okay."
"Hrm."
"Soup? On the way."
"Hrm."
"A picture of the Mona Lisa? What's that?"
Wow.
They really can understand what I'm saying, even though I grunted in the exact same way thrice.
When I say 'they', I mean the sister, specifically.
I haven't heard from the older brother yet.
"Hrm."
"My brother? He finds it hard to speak."
Huh, I didn't know that.
Was it from birth, or did something happen in the past to cause that?
Either way, right now, it seems life won't be all that dull laying here with these two around.
