The next day, Andien always took the time to visit Lisa in the hospital. That afternoon, Andien brought something for Lisa with the hope that it would calm Lisa's heart after she lost her baby to an unfortunate incident.

"How are you, Lis? Are you feeling better than yesterday?" Andien asked as she put her tote bag next to Lisa.

"Yes, I feel better, fortunately. Thanks!"

"Did you tell your mother?"

"About what?"

"That you were admitted to the hospital! And about your son, Lis." There was a hint of hesitation in Andien's last sentence. She tried to keep her friend's feelings from trivial things that might offend her.

"No, I haven't. Besides, I don't want to make my mother worry about my current situation," Lisa replied. "You didn't tell my mother that I'm hospitalized, right?"

"Of course no, Lis. I planned to tell her but I know you'll only sulk at me later!"
