Sarah came and sat next to her, patting her back in a comforting gesture.Minutes later, Mrs Black arrived, noticing Liana's puffy eyes from all the crying. She sat down beside Liana and said reassuringly, "Liana, please don't worry. Your mom will be alright. Don't blame yourself.”As Liana looked up at Mrs Black, her voice trembled as she spoke, “But if I had been there for her, if I had noticed the medicine, maybe she wouldn’t have fallen ill.”Mrs Black gently held Liana's hand. “Liana, your mother is a strong woman. She doesn’t want you to worry about her, and that’s why she didn’t tell you about her medicine. She loves you, and wants you to focus on your life. You are not to blame for this.”Liana listened, her head bowed, and her shoulders shaking with quiet sobs. She knew Mrs Black was right, but she

"What? How? I need to see her. Now!"Sarah continued, her voice breaking, "The medicines were finished. She didn’t want to trouble you and tried to hide it from you. But she has been coughing up blood, Liana.” Sarah's eyes welled up with tears, and she turned away to hide her tears.Mr. Black’s heart went out to the girls, his expression solemn. “Liana, let's ask the doctor if we can see her,” he suggested.Liana nodded as she followed Mr Black and Sarah to her mother’s ward, leaving Tony behind.Liana's heart thundered in her chest as she neared the door of her mother’s ward.

    As the afternoon sun streamed through the hospital room window, Liana rested her head on her arm, dozing off in a chair beside Tony’s bed.

The quiet peace of the room was broken by the sound of the door opening, and the cheerful voices of Mr. and Mrs. Black filling the air.Mrs. Black approached Tony, her gaze softening with concern, “Feeling any better, dear?”“Yes, mom… when will the doctor discharge me?” Tony asked, eager to return home.Mrs. Black smiled reassuringly, “Soon, my boy.

Mrs. Black, I didn’t realize you were here.
