Chapter 314

• So, the two of us, an elderly man and a young one, sat quietly in a hospital room. We didn't make a sound or disturb each other. I don't know how long it had been when the elderly man opened his eyes. I quickly put away Captain America: The First Avenger and stood up to pour him a cup of warm water. "Have some water to moisten your throat."
• There was a bag of straws nearby. I don't know who was so thoughtful to prepare even this.
• I inserted the straw into the cup and handed it to the elderly man. This time, he didn't say anything cold or sarcastic. Maybe he was really thirsty. The elderly man took the cup and drank several sips of water through the straw.
