"What's that?" Yara Keats asked.
The caregiver glanced over and replied, "It's hot chocolate."
Yara Keats reached out and touched it. It was still warm. She tore off the anti-spill seal on the lid and took a big gulp.
The hot, sweet, silky chocolate flowed down her throat, finally making her feel a bit more comfortable. She drank more than half the cup in one go before finally mustering some interest in the food before her. She took a few selective bites, considering her duty done.
After lunch came the afternoon nap.
Yara Keats thought she probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but unexpectedly, she dozed off again not long after lying down.
When she woke up more than two hours later, she found a small basket on her nightstand.
It looked like a gift from someone. The caregiver wasn't around, so Yara Keats casually picked it up and saw what was inside—
A tube of lip balm, a tube of hand cream, a bottle of home fragrance, a face mask, and a mini Lego set.
