The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

"Come on, Grandpa. I know you might not have much of an appetite right now, but Grandma will need someone to take care of her when she wakes up. Just eat a little," Melody said gently. "And Lucas, you too. Don't just sit there. Come and eat something. Now is the time Grandma needs us the most, so we can't afford to fall sick too! Only when we're healthy can we have the energy to take care of Grandma." Melody flashed a faint smile.

Melody knew it was a bit of a stretch for everyone as none of them had much of an appetite. She herself could not taste anything. However, it had been such a long time since they had eaten properly. She and Lucas might manage, but Cedric would not be able to withstand it. He would lose even more appetite if the other two did not join in eating a little.
