"Good morning, Mrs. Morris. Seeing Belle, Ruth greeted her politely with a smile."
"Belle stopped and asked with a smile, ""Morning, Ruth. What brings you to Fragrance Garden?"""
"Ruth stepped forward and informed her. ""Actually, it has to do with you. The Old Madam wants to see you."""
"Oh, I see. Belle was stunned. So, the Old Madam knew that she hadn't gone to work yet. She immediately asked, ""Ruth, do you know why she's looking for me?"""
"I'm not too sure about that. She just told me to call and ask if you were still around. When she heard you hadn't left yet, she asked me to come over to invite you there."
"Surely enough, it was so."
"Belle chuckled. ""Okay, Ruth, let's go then."""
Ruth nodded with a smile. The two of them got onto an electric vehicle and headed for Ink Garden.
Sophia was sitting on her lazy chair as usual. The air conditioning was set to a nice temperature and it was very comfortable.
"When Belle silently walked in, Sophia was still resting with her eyes closed."
"Her head of silver hair was combed neatly, and her wrinkled hands rested on her knees. Her face was riddled with age."
"Belle watched her quietly. For the first time, she felt that this old woman in front of her had really aged. She was past her golden years."
"She stood there silently, hesitating whether she should wake her up."
Sophia suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her with her blurry eyes.
Grandma. She hurriedly bowed and called in a soft voice.
Sophia looked at her with her eyes wide open.
"That year, Sophia's eyesight and hearing had deteriorated quite a lot. It took her a long time to get her vision to focus and see things clearly. Her hearing wasn't as sharp as it used to be either."
Are you Belle? Sophia looked at her and asked in a trembling voice.
"Grandma, it's me. Belle came closer to her and raised her voice to her ear."
Sophia heard her clearly and her eyes lit up. She turned to look at her.
"Belle, my good granddaughter-in-law. She looked excited and grabbed her hand. ""Come, sit down in front of me. Let's have a good talk today."""
Okay. Belle obediently sat down on the chair in front of Sophia.
