With a few children watching eagerly, Aldana Candi smiled and said, "It's okay."
Then realizing they couldn't understand, she waved her hand at them.
The children blinked, helped her tidy up the trash in the room, and left when their parents called them.
As the evening glow set in, Aldana Candi sat at the bedside, slowly scooping up chicken soup to feed Philip Shaw.
Coconut chicken is highly nutritious, and wild chicken soup is even more nourishing than what is usually raised at home. She couldn't think of anything else to sustain his life, so she could only take it one step at a time.
Carefully feeding all the chicken soup, she stood up with a crutch, saved the remaining chicken meat and soup in the kitchen, planning to continue feeding him the next day.
After a hard day, she only managed to taste a small bowl of chicken soup and a few bites of chicken. Aldana Candi sat on the floor washing dishes, sighing softly in a melancholic tone.
Truly a hard life.
