After I finished speaking, I realized something. "Did you already know about this?"

Frank nodded.

I couldn't help but mutter, "Then why were you pretending you didn't?"

"How was I supposed to know you were calling to tell me this? I thought you just missed me," said Frank.

I snorted but said, "I did miss you. Frank, it's just better when you're here."

I bit my lip. "When will you be back?"

"Soon, just a day or two." Frank reassured me. "You don't need to worry about Ben. Grandma will definitely make sure he doesn't trouble you."

"But what if Grandma wants to take him back to the Shaw family?"

"Then let her do that," Frank answered firmly. "That's beyond your control. Given Ben's condition, Grandma will be worried if she doesn't take him back home."

"But Grandma doesn't want to see you upset or add to your troubles. In the end, she'll choose to return to the Shaw family and take care of Ben herself."

I pursed my lips. "Do you think there are any better neurologists?"

"You can ask Dr. Travis first. If he says there's no hope, then there's no point in seeking other specialists."

I then realized I had forgotten about Dr. Travis and quickly said, "Okay, I'll ask Dr. Travis right away. Bye!" After hanging up, I remembered I didn't have Dr. Travis's contact details. Previously, my uncle and Frank were the ones in touch with him. Just as I was about to call Frank again, he sent me a number.

I knew immediately it was Dr. Travis's phone number.

I quickly sent a "love you" emoji in response.

The next day, Dr. Travis arrived at the hospital. After examining Ben, he said,

"We can only try acupuncture, but I can't guarantee it will cure him."

The reason for wanting to help Ben was to spare Grandma from the burden.

Simone and Bethany couldn't be released, and with no one else around Ben, Grandma was the only one to care for him.

Before I could respond, Grandma seemed more at ease than I was. "Let's give it a go."

When I heard Grandma say that, I knew what she meant.

She had prepared herself to care for Ben.

I couldn't help but say, "Grandma ..."

Her gaze was full of affection.

I tightened my grip on her hand. "Grandma, you're still sick. Your condition is unstable, and you're not capable of taking care of him."

However, Grandma said, "I have someone reliable who's always with me. She can take care of the daily needs. She'll watch over me, and I'll watch over Ben."

I bit my lip. "Grandma, you can't take care of him forever..."

"I'll take care of him while I'm receiving treatment. If he improves before I pass away, let him live on his own. If not, you can send him to a special care facility, and you won't need to worry about him." I didn't agree, but Grandma insisted.

Given the situation, I couldn't say much.

Grandma added, "I know you're worried about me. How about I video call you every day?"

"I'll make sure you know my whereabouts, and I'll also tell the person taking care of me to notify you if I haven't called."

4. 4.

"You need to take good care of yourself now. You're not alone anymore. Since you decide to keep the baby, you need to be responsible. I also want to meet your baby, so I'll take good care of myself."

I couldn't retort and just said, "Grandma, there's no need to keep your distance. Since he's in this state now, I'll visit you every week."

Grandma knew this was me making a concession and agreed, "Alright, I will have someone prepare your favorite dishes."
