"What is your relation to patient number 24?" the nurse asked.
"Oh... I'm his aunt," the woman replied.
"The patient in bed number 24 just now..." the nurse began to say.
"The patient in bed number 24 is doing quite well at the moment," the head nurse interjected, louder than the young nurse.
The young nurse was momentarily stunned but understood and did not speak further.
The elder woman nodded disappointingly and asked, "Wasn't it said that the person is beyond hope, almost gone?"
The head nurse frowned. "From what you're saying, it sounds like you're hoping for the patient to be gone soon?"
The elder woman awkwardly waved her hand. "No, I didn't mean that!"
"What do you do? What exactly is your relationship with the patient?" the nurse queried.
"Oh... I don't know him at all!" the elder woman replied.
The head nurse, displeased, said, "Why are you asking about someone you don't know?"
