Ben changed his sitting position and asked Luca to help raise the head of the bed a little.
"Thanks, Luca," said Ben.
"You're welcome. How are you?" This time Luca spoke up. He didn't usually want to talk to someone first.
"I'm already starting to feel better than before. How about you guys?" Ben asked Luca and Katherine.
"We're both fine," Katherine answered this time.
Ben reached for a glass of water that was on the table beside the bed, then afterward he said, "You don't have to bother visiting me. I feel bad for Javier, knowing you're visiting me. Javier has quite the schedule at the moment."
Katherine felt it was okay if she had to visit Ben, wasn't Ben a friend of Javier? So he felt it wouldn't be a big problem. Javier couldn't possibly be jealous of Ben.
"I don't think Javier would mind if I came to see you, Ben. I'm sure he couldn't possibly be jealous of his best friend."
