Ruth woke up the next morning a little late than usual. She had difficulty sleeping last night. Her body was not healed completely, and her head felt heavy.
"Good morning, honey!"
"Good morning, Mrs Payne!" She wished.
"Ruth, you do not look good. Are you feeling unwell?" Mrs Payne hurried to check her forehead for any fever.
Ruth took her wrinkled hands in hers and smiled. "No, Mrs Payne. I am fine! I just could not get a good sleep last night. That is it!"
"Are you sure?"
The old lady asked, not convinced by Ruth's answer.
"Cent per cent!"
"Hmm... let me prepare coffee for you. It will help you pivot through out the day." Mrs Payne said.
"Thank you!" Ruth smiled at her.
She could smell breakfast that was already prepared in the kitchen. She should have woken up earlier, then she could have saved the old lady efforts.
