After Lucas's summer vacation, Evelyn's shop also became busy due to the students' vacation. Although she had tried her best to spend time with the child, she still hadn't a lot of spare time to take care of him.
It just so happened that Bert was going back to Lownon, so he came back in three or four days. Lucas hadn't been back to Eoland for a long time and proposed to go with him. Evelyn thought about it and agreed.
Before leaving, she repeatedly told him that as a mother, she would always have endless worries. Previously, she always felt that Ben was nagging, but now she finally understood as a parent.
After sending them off, Evelyn thought that she could have a moment of leisure, but the next morning, she received a call from Lucy, saying that Ben had a sudden cerebral infarction and was sent to the hospital.
Hearing this, Evelyn was so scared that she couldn't even hold the phone. Her face instantly turned pale. "Mom, don't panic. I'll go there now!"
Hearing the commotion, Lola asked with concern, "What's wrong, Evelyn?"
"There's something about my parents, so I have to go to the hospital. Take care of the shop, please. Call me if you need anything," she said hurriedly as she walked out with the car key.
She sped to the hospital. After parking the car, she ran into the elevator and found the emergency room. On the bench in the corridor outside the door, Lucy was sitting alone. Her body was bent and she looked so weak, full of loneliness and helplessness of the elderly.
Evelyn walked up to Lucy and hugged her. "Mom, how's Dad?"
"Not good. He's in the emergency room. He's unconscious on the way here..." Lucy was so worried that tears fell from her eyes as she spoke. She still had a lingering fear when she thought of what had just happened.
Originally, they were going to go out for a walk after breakfast. When they retired, they liked to go out for a stroll at home. However, as soon as they took off their shoes, Ben suddenly couldn't stand still. The next second, he leaned against the wall behind him and sat down on the ground. He didn't get up again.
