Grape had grown accustomed to her mother's busyness. She sat obediently on one side, playing with her toys. "Mom, has an old man come to our house? The housekeeper won't let me go over there." Despite being engrossed in her work, Josie extended a hand, gently patting Grape's head. "Hmm, he isn't feeling well. Once he gets a little better, I'll take you to see him, alright?"

Grape widened her eyes. "Give my medicine to him, and he will wake up faster."
