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.
It was rainy in the Spring in Deeton city. After feeding the old lady some soup, Scarlett put her in the wheelchair and pushed her to the corridor to watch the spring rain.
"My mother said she used to hate rain because she wanted to sleep in class when it rained, and it was unpleasant to pasture cattle on rainy days." It was Scarlett who was talking these two days. She knew her grandma could hear.
The corridor was very quiet. There was a hanging garden under the stairs. The wind was fresh.
The old lady in the wheelchair moved her hand. The blanket on her slipped down.
Her lips were moving, but she couldn't say anything.
Scarlett squatted down, trying to hear what she said, but she heard nothing.

The blanket was scratched by her grandma's fingers with a slight sound. Scarlett looked down and found that she was slowly tapping her fingers on the blanket.
"Are you cold, Grandma?" 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.
