the cocoon of lies

Things will get better.

When Grace got back her father had fallen asleep at the side of his wife. She arranged the food she brought to the bedside table. Her father felt her presence and stirred from his Sleep. You are back, you didn't spend much time at home. No father, I did everything quickly so that I can relieve you here. hope you ask the neighbours to keep an eye on your younger ones. There wasn't any need aince aunty Deborah was already there when I got home. in fact she was the one who prepared the meal. That's very kind If her it means I will still stay a little while with you before I go back home. Yes father, there won't be any need to make hate back home. Father, here is the food. Aunty prepared rice with vegetable stew. Her took the food and started eating, he ate with relish. He hadn't slept since last night, he was thinking about the state of his wife and daughterhe he had left back in the hospital. There was the bill to be paid, the money at hand wasn't enough to sort that out. He remembered that Grace had also informed him about her forth coming exams and the balance of her fees. He had promised her he will try to provide the money before the exams starts. Now that has to pend for the moment until his wife got better. It then means she wint be able to write the next coming exams. He didnt know how he was going to break the news to her and what her reaction was going to be.
