Arabella thought for a moment, “Alright.”

Arabella felt that it was about time to pay her Grandma a visit, maybe she could lend a hand.

Phillip hadn’t expected a gift, he accepted it with joy and asked expectantly, “What is it?”

“It’s a sweet pill, take one a month, for six months straight. It can guarantee your health, live to 100 years old.”
