“It’s all right!” Sophie responded.

I made that choice myself, so I will follow through with it no matter how hard it gets.

“That’s good to hear! Remember, I will always support you no matter what you do,” Josiah replied.

He felt incredibly proud to have a granddaughter as strong and capable as Sophie. Although he did not know how much time he had left to live, he was determined to use the rest of it to support her fully.

“Grandpa, if living here makes you unhappy, then why don’t you come to live with me instead?” Sophie asked as she helped Josiah over to the couch.

She did not understand why he insisted on staying there when he had the option to move out.

The elderly man shook his head. “I will never give up on this household, no matter what.”

I can’t possibly run away from my responsibilities, especially when my days are numbered. Besides, I’m partly responsible for the way this household turned out, so I need to manage it myself. I mustn’t burden Soph any further!

“I know what you mean, but there are things that you simply can’t force,” she coaxed.

Not everyone will gratefully repay the kindness they receive. There are people who will always blame others if things don’t work in their favor.

“All right. I’ll take your advice into consideration. By the way, Tanny, how is your recovery going?” Josiah then voiced.

He felt bad for not visiting Tristan after finding out about his injury.

“I’m mostly healed now, Old Mr. Tanner. It’s nothing to worry about,” Tristan replied as he walked up to the elderly man.

“I didn’t manage to pay you a visit. You’re not mad at me, are you?” In truth, Josiah was not particularly busy with anything. He merely did not go to the hospital because he was not feeling well.

“What are you saying, Old Mr. Tanner? I would never be mad at you! It’s just a minor injury, and I’m mostly healed now.”

“I’m glad to hear that. You have to be more careful from now on, okay? Bear in mind that you’re not single anymore; you have Sophie to look after. She would be distressed if anything were to happen to you.”

It wasn’t easy for my dear granddaughter to open up to him and accept his love. Thus, he has to be safe and sound.

Tristan held Sophie’s hand as he replied, “I will, Old Mr. Tanner. I promise to be more careful from now on.”
