Sweet Divorce

“Rita?” Grandpa Jim looked at the girl sitting beside hissickbedwith worriesfilled in his eyes. “Be careful! You waist has not recovered and you should stay on the bed.”

“But I miss you so much.” She acted like a spoiled child, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“You are a good girl.”Grandpa Jim compromised with affection, but turning around, showed a stern face to Liam.

“You should take a better care of her. If she didn’t recover well and soon, you’ll be punished with the family rules.”

Then Grandpa Jim turned to her and helped her stand up immediately, “The floor is so cold that you shouldn’t sit there. Come and sit beside me.”

Feeling his overwhelming tenderness, Rita almost shed tears.

Being alive again, Grandpa Jim still doted on her.

“Rita?”

Noticing she was in a trance, he called her name again.

She recollected her thoughts instantly and sat beside him.

On that day, they had a long conversation. Only when she was with him, Grandpa Jim burst into laughter instead of being solemn.

The conversation lasted so long that it consumed Grandpa Jim’s energy so he was visibly weary.

She stood up in a hurry and helped him walk to the bed for a rest.

“It seems that I don’t have much time left. I got tired so easily.” Lying propped on the bed, he sighed.

Hearing this, Rita became anxious, frowning at him, “It’s not true! Don’t say that, please. You’ll livea long life.”

Grandpa Jim smiled quietly with dismay in his heart.

He knew his body more than anyone else, realizing that he would die in the near future.

Grandpa Jim looked at her with contemplation and tried to tell her something, opening his mouth but finally he said something else, “Ask Liam to come here. I want to talk to him.”

“Grandpa, I think you had better sleep for a while first.”

“Sleep…” He’s afraid that he would not wake up forever if he slept. But knowing that she would be unhappy if he told that to her, he just smiled with love, “I will forget what I want to tell him.”
