"She needs to eat or her body won't recover " Divean's mother muttered.
He sighed gazing at the slender weak figure laying in the bed.
Divean had taken her into his home after she was discharged from the hospital.
Snow had said nothing since she woke up, even when she was told to eat something, she ignored them.
"They can't keep giving her those injections...her body needs food...real food " she added.
"I know Mother but she doesn't want to and I can't force her," he said.
"She is in pain, you need to talk to her "his mother pushed him to the door.
"Mother I think you would understand her more than me " he said.
"Let's give her more time," she said.
.....
Snow heard the door to her room open and little steps moved towards her bed.
"Hello," she heard a small voice say to her.
Slowly she turned to come face to face with a cute small figure. She had a smile on her face holding a plate of cookies.
"Would you like some cookies " she blinked brightly pushing the plate forward.
Snow smiled and nodded.
The little girl picked up one and placed it in her hand.
"Made them with granny. Chocolate flavour " she said.
"Mmm, they are good " Snow said taking a bite from it.
"Then have some more " She placed the plate on the bed.
Snow chuckled, "Have one too"
The little girl smiled and took one for herself.
Snow helped her up on the bed where they shared the cookies.
...
"Where did she go?" Divean asked his mother.
"Upstairs, taking some cookies to our guest " she answered.
"Huh, I don't think our guest will like that " he turned going up the stairs.
Snow wasn't in a good state and Divean knowing his daughter, might agitate her more.
He heard laughter coming from the room and stopped at the door.
His daughter was giggling as she whispered something to the smiling Snow.
She was pale, with sunken eyes and chipped lips, but her smile was warm and her eyes brightened up.
He breathed watching the two chat.
"Daddy " his daughter who had noticed him called out.
"Hi sweetie " he walked in.
"Come meet my new friend " she said jumping off the bed and running to him.
He took her hand and she brought him closer.
"Daddy, meet Snow. She is pretty like her name " she let out.
Snow smiled and Divean chuckled.
"Your right honey, she is pretty like her name " he commented meeting Snow's gaze.
"Mmm, I like her ". His daughter said.
"I like you too, sweetie " Snow let out.
The little girl giggled.
Divean passed her the plate and placed her down.
"Granny needs that plate back, be a good girl and take it back to her," he said.
She nodded waved at Snow and ran out.
"I didn't know you had a daughter, " Snow said.
"Not many know, I keep a low profile when it comes to her " he said.
She knew what he meant, their lives were always constantly observed due to their jobs it was hard to keep a secret from the public.
"I understand....she is a sweet child "
He nodded in agreement
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"Fine," she said.
Snow noticed his questioning gaze and looked away.
"The doctor said it will take a while for you to move again or feel normal. So you need to take your time " he said.
"Why did you help me ?" she suddenly asked.
