His gaze remained gentle, and he carried on as he pleased, seemingly oblivious to her unspoken message.
Tilda felt weary and opted not to elaborate.
She joined Elma, who had emerged from the restroom, for the meal.
Noticing Keanu seated beside the bed, watching the IV drip, Tilda paused and called out, âKeanu, you havenât eaten either, have you? Join us for a meal.
â
âItâs fine, you two go ahead and eat.
Iâm not hungry at the moment.
â
Though he felt hungry, he didnât want her to feel uneasy dining with him.
Tilda said nothing more and quietly ate with Elma.

As they neared finishing their meal, Sheldon, lying on the bed, stirred awake.
âSheldon, youâre awake.
â Keanu spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Tilda quickly set down her fork and hurried over.
âSheldon.
â
She gently placed her hand on the childâs forehead and felt that his fever had significantly subsided, now just a slight warmth remained.
Relieved, her heart finally calmed, and she spoke softly.
âSheldon, how are you feeling? Any discomfort anywhere?â
Sheldon opened his large, watery eyes and glanced around.
âMom, whereâs Dad?â
His voice was weak, reflecting his frail condition.
However, despite this, the first thing he did upon waking was search for Lyndon.
The smile on Tildaâs face froze momentarily, but she quickly composed herself and said softly, âDaddy is busy with work, but heâll be here soon.
â
Sheldon nodded slightly and glanced over at Keanu.
Keanu smiled warmly and greeted him, âHello Sheldon, Iâm a friend of your momâs.
You can call me Keanu.
â
âHello, Keanu,â Sheldon said politely.
âGood boy.
â
Keanu gently patted Sheldonâs soft hair, noticing the IV drip was nearly empty, he pressed the call button.
Shortly, a nurse entered to change the IV bag.
She checked the patientâs name and replaced the empty bag with a new one.
Sheldon watched the nurse intently, his big eyes endearing.
