Hospital

The sun was shining bright today, and Josephine woke up feeling pretty

refreshed. After her routine check-up with the doctor, she had some breakfast and took her meds. Her caregiver, with a friendly smile, asked, "Ms. Josephine, fancy some fresh air outside?"

"Absolutely," Josephine replied without missing a beat.

The caregiver escorted Josephine downstairs for a stroll. As they passed through a quiet spot, the caregiver's phone buzzed.

Checking the message, she looked a bit uneasy and said, "Ms. Josephine, my kid's here to visit me. She showed up early and is waiting at the hospital entrance..."

"I'm alright, go ahead and meet her. Don't keep the little one waiting," Josephine nodded, understanding completely.

Being a mom herself, she naturally got it.

"Thanks so much, Ms. Josephine. I won't be long," the caregiver said gratefully, then hurried off to the hospital entrance.
