I helped Aunt Laura lie down on the bed, bent over to tuck her in. "How have you been feeling these days? Are you getting better?"

"Much better. The doctor said after another round of chemotherapy, I can focus on recuperating."

Aunt Laura's eyes flashed as she explained, "It's... very valuable. I'm afraid it might attract ill- intentioned people."

"Alright, I understand."
