“Hello Ma’am,” Zephyr said in a calm voice, as he stopped beside the bed where the lady laid. He tried to steady his breathing, eyes fixed on the woman who quickly took off her eyeglasses and was wiping her tears off with her thumb.
“Ma'am, is everything alright?”
“Yes,” she replied in a low and sober voice before steadying her gaze on him. “I'm sorry I didn't see you walk in.” She sucked in a slow breath and placed the book she was reading on her legs. “You must be one of the nurses who work here.”
“Actually, I'm a Resident. But I was assigned to attend to you today.”
The wrinkles on her face folded, her eyes creased at the corners. Though her gaze remained unreadable.
“Is there anything I could help you with at the moment?”
“No, not really,” she answered him in a soft voice.
