Scarlett looked at her grandma's lips moving, feeling s o sad.
She gently held the old lady's hand, leaning down and whispering in her, "Grandma, my mother was happy i n those years. My father loved her very much and pampered her."
After she said that, tears ran out of her grandma's eyes.
Rowan turned around and wiped his tears. "Scarlett, stay with your grandmother."
Hearing what he said, Viviana walked over and helped him out of the room.
Viviana had been married for forty years. Scarlett's grandma was generous and open-minded. They got along well. Before she got sick, the two of them often went shopping and traveling together.
Viviana watched her mother-in-law being tortured by cancer for more than five years. Seeing that the old lady was excited to see Scarlett, Viviana couldn't help crying.
Losing Pearl left a scar in every Tank's heart.
The old lady should have passed away two months ago, but to wait for today, she endured great pain.
Now that Scarlett was here, the old lady didn't have to suffer anymore. They had accompanied her for many years. Thus, they thought they should let her spend her precious remaining time with Scarlett.
"Okay."
Scarlett gently answered. She glanced at Rowan and Viviana, sitting down in a chair.
Her grandma couldn't say anything, occasionally blinking her opaque eyes.
Yet Scarlett knew what the old lady wanted to hear. She recalled the interesting stories that her mom told her as she was a little girl.
It was sunny this morning, but it suddenly rained. Scarlett's soft and slow voice filled the room.
Her grandma stared at her as if Pearl came back.
After Scarlett came to the hospital, her grandma was i n good spirits. Although she was still unable to speak, she smiled from time to time.
She was nearing the end of her life. The doctor said that she could only live for a few days.
The old lady's eyes rolled. She wasn't cold.
She was still tapping on the blanket. Scarlett looked at her for a moment. Her grandma's eyes were filled with tears.
It was drizzling. Sometimes the wind was strong, blowing the rain to them.
Scarlett suddenly understood. She rested her head on the blanket and put her grandma's hand over her face.
She tilted her head. Her grandma suddenly made a sound but still couldn't speak.
Scarlett slowly closed her eyes, tears spilling out.
Grandma, take care."
In the wind and rain, she hoped her grandma could leave peacefully.
