The Woman From Hell

Late at night, I lay on the hospital bed, feeling lost and confused about what to do next.

I would see fleeting images of the times Munchkin and I spent together.

It lasted until I sensed movement beside my bed. I smelled a familiar scent and was soon locked in a familiar embrace.

I turned around and faced Theo. His breath sprayed gently on my forehead. Listening to his heartbeat, I slowly calmed down.

"Stop thinking about it. Have some rest. I'll be here with you." He patted my back like he was coaxing a child. I slowly dozed off. Early next morning, Petra brought chicken soup.

"I rummaged through the fridge yesterday and saw that this chicken looked quite good. I cooked it overnight. I already told the servant to go to the countryside to buy some free-range chicken. Your body needs some nourishment."

As Petra said that, she brought the spoonful of chicken soup to my mouth.

"It's okay, Mom. I can do it myself." I reached out to take the bowl and saw the complicated expression on Petra's face.
