Lumma said, “This year, I don’t have to worry about not being able to spend Christmas with my grandma. I planned to take her out to play, but she’s in poor health.”
Harry comforted her, saying, “Let your grandma rest and recover first, and then take her out later.”
“I’m afraid she can’t wait for that time.” Lumma had secretly asked the doctor. Although Maria was very cooperative with the treatment, she was old after all. Her situation wasn’t that good.
Every time Lumma thought of how Maria had worked so hard all her life but had fallen ill before she could enjoy life, Lumma felt particularly sad.
Ruby suggested, “Why don’t we bring your grandmother to live with us? We can share a room, and your grandmother can stay in my room.”
Lumma shook her head and said, “Grandmother decided to go to Harrison with Lucas’s grandmother. She doesn’t want to trouble me and hopes I can work well. She definitely won’t come back with me.”
Ruby sighed, “Old people always say that their children will take care of them when they get old, but when they need their children, they worry about causing them trouble.”
“Ruby, I’m going to Harrison to accompany my grandmother for two days tomorrow. After dinner, I want to go to the mall and buy two sets of clothes for my grandmother,” Lumma said.
Ruby asked, “Aren’t you going to work?”
“My boss is on vacation with his wife, so he gave us a few days off,” Lumma replied.
Ruby said, “I’m more and more envious of your job.”
Lumma laughed, “I think you’re not envious of my job, but you want to be with my boss.”
Ruby said, “You’re right again.”
After the three of them finished dinner, Ruby and Lumma went shopping, leaving the dishes and kitchen cleaning to Harry.
