I stayed in the hospital for one night and then left.
I didn’t have much money on me. I couldn’t waste money on this.
The report in the small town was slow to come out. I went through the discharge procedures and didn’t get the report.
The doctor told me to come back in three days.
I knew my situation, so I just casually agreed.
I returned home, and Annie knocked on the door the next second.
“Vanessa, I’ve heard that you’re not feeling well, so I made some porridge for you. Eat it while it’s hot.”
The bowl seemed a bit hot, for her hands were red from the heat.

I quickly took it over, “Annie, thank you so much.”
“Not a big deal. It’s just something I did on the side.”
“Eat it then. I won’t bother you anymore.
Eat it and then take a nap later. You’ll feel refreshed soon.”
I smiled and responded.
But after she left, my eyes turned red.
Eating the porridge, I inexplicably thought of my mother.
She used to be like this, gently feeding me porridge when I had a cold.
She said, “My good daughter, after eating porridge, the virus will disappear.”
At that time, I still had my loving parents.
I also missed my grandparents.
Once upon a time, I was also a little princess in my family’s eyes.

Tears fell into the bowl, making the porridge in my mouth taste salty,
just like my current mood, filled with bitterness.
Fortunately, before leaving, I felt the long- lost love once again.
