After Louie left, Serena poured a glass of water and carried the medicine into the room. Mia had already made the bed. She'd glanced around curiously, but left without asking any questions.
"Here, take your medicine. Then, you should just lie down and get some sleep. The bathroom is on your left. If you need to go and can't manage on your own, call me, and I'll help you… Don't try to act tough, okay? Just call if you need help… Do you have my number?"
She handed him the medicine and water.
"I don't." Shane Sanders took them and obediently swallowed the medicine.
"What's your number? I'll call you so you have mine…" She took out her phone.
"189-1212-…."
Serena Lockwood dialed the number, and Shane Sanders's phone rang briefly.
"Alright, I'm going to get some rest. It's been such a hectic day, I'm exhausted…"
"Good night, Miss Serena…" He beamed, waving his hand.
