Charlotte was taken aback and thought, “How could Arthur do something like this?
Well, is there anything he won't do?”
She sighed inwardly, not wanting to stir up too much conflict with Arthur. In a gentle, soothing voice, she said,
“Sweetheart, my grandma will be in the hospital for a few more days. You can

Ava, who had overheard the conversation, let out a heavy sigh, “I really don’t like Arthur. How did you ever fall
for him?”
Charlotte was silent for a moment.
She lowered her eyes and softly said, “Grandma, do you believe in love at first sight?”
Ava’s face lit up with a nostalgic smile, “Of course | do! Your grandpa and | fell in love the moment we laid eyes
on each other. Back then, society wasn’t as open as it is now. | snuck out to play and bumped into him. He was

“Oh, a knight in shining armor. It’s hard not to fall in love in a moment like that,” Ava remarked with an
approving nod.
Charlotte sighed, “After that, | used to go and meet him all the time. But during that time, | was allergic to a

Ava burst into laughter. “I remember! You didn’t just have pimples. Your face was puffed up like a pig! Catching

Charlotte blinked, speechless.
She thought, “It’s really hard to imagine these words coming from a sweet old lady who's nearly 80.”
“Alright, I'll stop laughing. Don’t givethat look,” Ava said, her smile vanishing the moment their eyes locked.
