"Okay dear, take care, and my best wishes to Riley," she uttered with a smile.
"Okay..mum.." he answered, peeked at his mother, and left for his car.

Kate, Loretta, and Nancy were still with Riley when Kathie walked in.
"How are you feeling now dear?" she inquired as she neared Riley.
"Much better Auntie but my legs still feel numb," answered Riley looking a little concerned.
"Don't worry dear, you will get better soon. I was just from the doctor's office," she said with a smile as she sat beside Riley putting her(Kathie) bag on her lap.
"And what does he say Auntie?" queried Riley curiously.
"Well, he said you are responding well to treatment and will be discharged soon if you continue like that," she uttered assuredly as she slightly caressed Riley's face.
