A new Dawn - II

The sleeping pills had been taken away from her medication at night. The dose had been really less after the doctors had taken her off morphine because now she was more capable of sleeping by herself, and the doctors did not want her body to get addicted to any substance again. Especially when she had too many medicines going on anyway.

The only advantage Joyce felt that the sleeping pills gave her was allowing her to sleep, no matter what. Even if her mind was racing, a few minutes later, she would find herself sleeping anyway, but in the absence of those, she just continued to stay awake by the side of her husband in the bedroom, staring at the ceiling like it was painted by Picasso himself.

She let out a frustrated sigh before deciding that it was enough. Joyce got out of the bed and wore a thick robe over herself before walking out of the room.
