    “You haven''t eaten in a while, so I''ve got some easy-to-digest foods for you, and there''s a slice of cake too, but you can have it only after you finish


    your meal,” Connor said.


    Cam nodded with a smile and forked a piece of sweet potato into his bowl. “You should eat too. Don''t just fuss over me.”


    ‘I''m eating.” Connor’s smile widened as he took a bite of the sweet potato. Why had he never noticed how delicious sweet potatoes were before?


    After finishing their breakfast, Cam went to check on her mother.


    At that moment, Cole arrived with a stic bag that seemed slightly out of ce in the upscale hospital setting.


    Sheepishly, he began, “Cami, I brought you some bagels and milk...”


    “It''s my favorite, bagels with milk. Thanks, Cole, but I just had a full meal. I''ll eat itter,” Cam gratefully epted and said with a smile


    “No worries. I was just concerned you might not have eaten,” Cole replied.

    Cole looked at Cam with affection in his eyes. “Il just hope you''ll like it.”


    When it was time for rounds, Dr. Tom and a few doctors dressed in sterile attire entered ire''s room to examine her. Cam and the others watched


    nervously from outside.
