    He held his phone up to Granny Luisa, “Granny, Is this the ir you know?”


    Granny Reba took the phone and stared at the photo for a while, finally saying with relief.


    Thankfully, it’s not the ir I know.“thank god”


    “Who is the ir you know?” Marcus already had an answer in his mind, but he wanted to hear it from


    the olddy herself.


    “An old friend.” Granny Reba didn’t want to talk about ir any further and quickly steered the


    conversation back to the main topic, “Marc, I asked Nelly to leave because I need to talk to you about


    something personal, something Nelly shouldn’t know about.”


    “Go ahead,” Marcus said.


    Granny Reba spoke, “Doctors keep saying I’m getting better, but I feel like I’m getting worse. I don’t


    think I have much time left. Nelly was abandoned by her mother when she was young and then lost her


    father in a car ident. I’m all she has. If I suddenly leave her, I don’t know how she’ll handle it.


    Promise me you’ll take care of her and spend time with her. Just be there for her. Don’t let her do


    anything stupid.”


    Marcus assured her. The doctors aren’t lying to you. You are getting better. The problem lies with the


    person who was taking care of you. She messed up your medication.”


    He didn’t tell the olddy the truth out of concern that it might worry her too much and affect her


    recovery.


    “Wrong medication?” Granny Reba questioned.


    “Yes, I’ve kicked her out. We’ll find someone else to take care of you from now on, Marcus continued.


    “And, I promise you, I’ll take care of Nelly no matter what. She’s my wife, and it’s my duty to look after


    her.”


    “Is it just because she’s your wife? Don’t you like her even a bit?” the olddy asked.


    Marcus was taken aback and then nodded, “Like her? Of course!”


    She was such an amazing girl and she was his wife, how could he not like her!


    Hearing this, the olddy finally felt relieved. With Marcus by Nelly’s side, she didn’t have to worry


    anymore, “Nelly is beautiful and lovely, she’s perfect in every way. Anyone with the right mind will like


    her. Make sure you tell her that you like her. She’s a bit sensitive, so make sure to reassure her often.”


    Marcus listened patiently and nodded, “Alright.”

    Granny Reba continued, “Please get her in now. I bet she’s sulking outside because she can’t hear


    our conversation.”


    “I’ll get her now.” Marcus went out and found Nelly, her eyes red–rimmed. Granny Reba was right,


    she had been crying.


    He walked over and hugged her tightly, “Granny will be fine, don’t worry too much.”


    Nelly wiped her swollen nose, “Promise me, if Granny tells you anything, you have to tell me.”


    Marcus patted her head gently and smiled, “Granny thinks she’s not doing well, so she asked me to


    take good care of you.”
