Stacy saw the bag of herbs in Elisa's hand.

"Listen carefully, Stacy. These are all medicinal herbs for your father. You'll need to boil them in water and feed them to your father three times a day. Make sure he drinks it all."

Elisa labeled the herbs carefully and put them somewhere the girl could reach.

Back at the hotel, Elisa organized the herbs she had purchased for herself.

She rubbed her shoulders, thinking about what she could do to make Stacy's life easier.
