Edward looked at her.
"That's why I have to trouble you to do it for me." Penelope looked expectant.
Edward did not know why, but he agreed and bought a huge ice cream and gave it to Penelope.
Penelope ate happily like a child.
However, she was only halfway through her ice cream when a group of doctors and nurses in white coats rushed into her ward and took the ice cream away from her hands. Then, they lectured Penelope angrily.
Edward had forgotten what they lectured her about.
All he remembered was the doctors checking Penelope's body carefully and only leaving after a long time.
After they left, Penelope was the only one in the room.
There was also Edward, who had been waiting by her side.
Edward asked her, "Why do you still want to eat ice cream if you can't eat it?"
"I was craving it," Penelope answered matter-of-factly.
