Olivia Wilson stared blankly at the ceiling, neither eating nor drinking, which reminded Amelia Clarke of herself ten years ago, just after James Carter abandoned them.
Amelia Clarke was somewhat worried.
"Mom, please sit up and eat something," she pleaded.
"..."
Amelia Clarke set down the lunchbox she was holding, took Olivia Wilson's hand, and said, "Mom, don't worry. This afternoon, a leading doctor from abroad will come to see you. You're going to get better."
"..."
Suddenly remembering something, Amelia Clarke called Mason Carter's teacher and asked the teacher to pass the phone to Mason.
Soon, Mason's voice, surprised and a bit foolish, came through the phone, "Sister!"
"Mason, Mom isn't feeling well. Can you talk to her for a bit?"
"Okay!"
Amelia Clarke turned on the speakerphone and brought the cell phone close to Olivia Wilson's ear, "Mason, you can talk to Mom now."
"Mom, Mason learned the multiplication table. Teacher said I'm smart!"
