"I can't do it." Javier's mother said as she shook her head.
"Please, help me." Yvonne spoke slowly, her eyes pleading for understanding.
Even though Javier's mother loved Yvonne like her own daughter, she couldn't comprehend doing what Yvonne asked, especially when it involved her son. She was willing to do anything for Yvonne, but the request seems like a lot.
A doctor entered the room.
"Doctor, she's awake," Javier's mother said, gesturing towards Yvonne.
"I know," he said, smiling and nodding.
Javier's mother stepped aside, creating space for the doctor to check on Yvonne. However, she was surprised that he didn't immediately attend to her.
"Aren't you checking her?" she inquired.
"I have checked," the doctor replied, his gaze shifting between Yvonne and Javier's mother. "I am certain Yvonne must have told you already."
Confused, Javier's mother looked at Yvonne, who nodded weakly.
