Christopher Robinson sat across from her, and as the soup spoon reached her lips, the man's coughing sounded timely.
But it was only a moment, and he put his clenched hand to his lips to stop the coughing.
Amelia Cobb looked at him with the spoon in her hand.
The man got up from the table and muttered in a hoarse voice, "You eat first."
That day, perhaps driven by curiosity, Amelia put down her soup spoon and headed towards the living room.
She saw Christopher taking medicine from a medicine box in the living room cabinet.
Amelia's gaze fixed slightly, and Christopher, perhaps sensing her gaze, turned slightly as he brought the water cup to his lips and saw her standing by the door.
The man calmly put down the cup at his lips: "Finished eating?"
"Sir, Isaac Fenton says the person has been brought."
As Sadie's voice sounded at the bedroom door, Amelia's eyes swept past her, seamlessly unnoticed.
She turned and left, preparing to go downstairs.
