"What things have you been taking care of, Helen?" I asked again, because it seemed as though she hadn't heard me the first time.Instead of answering my question, Helen waved her hand dismissively, a forced laugh escaping her lips. "Oh, you know, just some family matters," she replied vaguely. "But enough about me please. How's Daniel doing?”I narrowed my eyes, not entirely convinced by her nonchalant attitude. But I decided to let it slide for now and turned my attention to Daniel. "Not good," I sighed, shaking my head. "The doctor says that there is no sign of him waking up anytime soon."Helen nodded, her expression one of sympathy. "I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you," she whispered, reaching out to give my hand a gentle squeeze.I appreciated the gesture, but there was something about her demeanour that just didn't sit right with me. "Is everything really okay, Helen?" I asked, my voice low. "You seem..." I paused, searching for the right word. "Distracted."
