"You don't have to." Nolan shook his head.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. gave them a look of puzzlement. "Why? You said they were delicious."
"It's not that. Making those muffins is a lot of work. We can help out next time," Lana chimed in.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. laughed heartily, her mouth wide in amusement. "Such good kids. Just like your mom, always
caring for others from a young age."
"Well, we are Mommy's kids," Nolan and Lana replied with a hint of pride.
Their playful attitude made Mrs. Wallace Sr. burst into laughter, thoroughly enjoying the moment with them.

Nicole took the plate. "Your leg is hurt. Go treat it before it gets worse."
"It's fine," Tia replied, cheeks reddening in embarrassment." It's just a minor bump. No big deal."
"Go apply some ointment on it. You need to take care of yourself so that you can look after Grandma," Nicole said
with a hint of firmness.
Tia nodded. "Alright, Nicole. I'll do that now."
She then made her way out of Mrs. Wallace Sr.’s room to her own.
After a moment, Mrs. Wallace Sr. voiced her concerns." What happened to Tia?"
"She bumped her leg when she was delivering the mini muffins to us. It's not a severe injury, but if she doesn't take
care of it, it might get worse. Don't worry, Grandma," Nicole said, trying to comfort Mrs. Wallace Sr.
"Oh, in that case, she should rest up tomorrow. I can make some food," Mrs. Wallace Sr. said with concern.
Nicole thought for a moment, and then she said, "How about this. I'll arrange for food delivery tomorrow. Tia can
cook for you again when she gets better."
"That sounds good," Mrs. Wallace Sr. agreed.

room with laughter from Mrs. Wallace Sr.. After a while, Nicole called it a night, concerned for her well-being.
"I'll help you rest up. Grandma. Then, I'll check on Tia before heading home," Nicole said.

"Okay," she replied, her gaze following Nicole, Nolan, and Lana.
She only closed her eyes once they were out of sight.
As Nicole approached Tia's room, she saw the door ajar. Through the gap, she spotted Stanley gently tending to
Tia's bruise. A knowing smile crossed Nicole's face when she realized that Tia was in good hands. Opting not to
enter, she continued on with Nolan and Lana.
Inside, as Stanley carefully applied the ointment on her leg, he said, "Take it easy and rest for the next couple of
days."
"I'm fine, really," Tia murmured, her voice reduced to almost a whisper.
Stanley's tone was firm. "You should focus on recovering. I'll ensure that Mrs. Wallace is taken care of. If that bruise
swells up by tomorrow, we're heading to the hospital."
