Donnie nodded and said, "Of course, I'm doing this for your health!"
Alice, having seen how assertive Donnie was when instructing Helen before, knew that no amount of pleading would change his mind, so she cautiously made a different request.
"Can I make a request then?"
Donnie asked, "What is it?"
"For the next month, please don't let Helen come to my room!" Alice whispered.
See, this is why you shouldn't get too cocky, now you know it's embarrassing!
Donnie laughed heartily and said, "Alice, has anyone told you how particularly beautiful you are today?"
"Of course, when am I ever not beautiful!" Alice said proudly.
Donnie nodded and said, "I think so too, but a beautiful lady, you've just been too tired. You should rest properly now. I'll come see you again in the evening, by that time, little Theodore and the others should have also arrived!"
