"Nathan, you have to take good care of Vera for me." At this point, tears had already flowed from Grandma Wave's eyes, "Vera's life has been so tough these past few years!"
Nathan Leafcastle held Vera Wave's hand, "Grandma, don't worry, I will!"
"Yes, Grandma believes in you!" Grandma Wave smiled through her tears, "You've been sensible since you were little. By the way, Nathan, how are your parents? Please tell them that I will be discharged in a few days, and I wish they could come to the old house for a nice gathering!"
But Nathan Leafcastle's parents are divorced, asking that only makes him uncomfortable, doesn't it?
"Grandma!" Vera quickly withdrew her hand, "You should focus on getting better first, Nathan is alone here now."
The elder's mind was clear one moment and muddled the next, talking one moment, and falling asleep the next.
Vera helped tuck her in and instructed the caregiver to watch over her, then gestured to Nathan to lead him out of the ward.
