While walking into the room with Allen and Molly, the old woman reminded Tom to call her son.
Holding the bag in his hand, Tom said with a smile, "Okay. I'll call him as soon as I put the things down."
After entering the room, the old woman went into the room to call her husband out, and Tom went to make a phone call. Only Molly and Allen sat on the sofa in the living room.
Molly asked Allen curiously, "Who did your grandma want to call?"
"It's our uncle." Allen also told Molly in a low voice.
"Then why is he called little Cole?" Molly was confused.
"Because my mother's eldest daughter and my uncle is the second son, so grandma and grandpa usually call him the little Cole," Allen said with a smile.
"This name... is so cute!" In the end, Molly made such a comment. However, with a smile on her face, she asked Allen, "Do you have any nickname?"
Hearing this, Allen blushed and turned his back without saying anything.
"You have!" Molly was just joking. But seeing his expression, she knew that it seemed that she was right. "Tell me what your nickname is!"
Allen remained silent.
Molly said with a smile, "You don't want to tell me, do you? Well, I'll ask your grandma when she comes out later."
"No way!"
"Then tell me by yourself!"
Allen shook his head and changed the topic, "Grandma has been back to her room for such a long time. Why hasn't she come out yet?"
Molly's heart skipped a beat. She was just surprised that the old couple she saw in the campus were Allen's grandparents, but she forgot that his grandfather was in poor health. She looked at Allen and suggested carefully, "Tom just said that grandpa was not in good health, and it might be a little troublesome. How about we go to see if there is anything we can help?"
Looking at Tom, who was still on the phone, Allen frowned, stood up and took Molly to the room.
He knocked on the door for a few times. When his grandmother said "come in", the two of them pushed the door open and walked in. While opening the door, Allen said, "Grandma, do you need..."
Before he finished his words, Allen was stunned. He didn't believe that the old and thin man in front of him, who was half lying on the bed, would be his energetic grandpa.
He didn't believed that this was the grandpa who hid him behind when his parents taught him a lesson.
He could stand still at the door, but Molly couldn't.
Bypassing Allen, Molly walked to the bedside and said a few words to Allen's grandma. Then she bent down and asked Allen' grandpa with a smile, "Do you remember me?"
The old man moved his eyes and seemed to have some impression of Molly.
"He looks much better now," Molly said to Allen's grandma in surprise.
Hearing this question, Allen's grandma was also happy. "Yes! The doctor said that before."
And then the old woman looked at Allen, who was standing at the door, and sighed slightly. Then she greeted Allen with a smile, "Why are you standing at the door? Come on in!"
Allen still didn't come to his senses. He walked to the bed and looked at his grandpa with an unbelievable look. But when the old man saw him, he was so excited that he spoke to him in a lisp.
"Allen, your grandfather is talking to you. Don't you say hello to him?" Allen's grandma patted the bed and motioned him to sit on it.
Allen sat on the edge of the bed stiffly and looked at the old man in front of him. He moved his lips, but didn't know what to say.
Slowly, he reached out and held his grandpa's withered hand. Before he could say anything, his eyes turned red.
Seeing this, the old woman sighed and said, "Allen, I want to take your grandfather out to have a look, but I can't move him from the bed to the wheelchair. Since you are here, please help me move your grandfather to the wheelchair."
"Okay," said Allen.
It was not difficult for Allen to pick up his grandpa, because he had lost too much weight.
He didn't believe that his grandfather was so ill.
Then he looked at his grandmother who was looking at him kindly. At this moment, Allen deeply realized that time always passed inadvertently. If time left for young people to grow, then it left for old people to consume, age, vitality, and health.
They had grown up, but their grandma and grandpa were old.
Before coming here, Allen still had complaints about them, but at this time, he could not complain anymore.
"Good boy!" Allen's grandma praised him as Allen did when he was a child, "Let's go out and have a talk."
Then she pushed Allen's grandpa out first.
Looking at Allen's red eyes, Molly said gently, "Don't cry. Your grandma will feel say if she sees it."
Allen nodded silently, "I know."
Feeling the concern in her eyes, Allen felt warm in his heart and continued, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
As soon as they arrived at the living room, Tom came up with a big smile on his face. "Mr. Cole said he would be there soon!"
The old lady was also very happy. She clapped her hands and said, "Okay! We haven't seen each other for a long time! We must celebrate it later!"
