"Grandpa George's son died unexpectedly while on a mission," Nash whispered softly in her ear. "He's getting old and doesn't have anyone by his side. He keeps postponing treatment e when he's sick. He used to enjoy lively company but now it's gotten pretty lonely. I've been tied up with work and haven't been able to drop by. You should pay him more visits." Nina didn't expect this additional information. "He passed away? Does he have any children left?" "He has one granddaughter," Nash replied.

"Yeah," Nash stopped there. "Looks like you're tired too. You should rest." Perhaps it was his warmth that made her quickly fall asleep in his arms.
Nina was awakened by a phone call. Just as she answered she heardn Julia's urgent voice, "Nina, cto the hospital quickly. Your dad fell!" "What?" Nina was still groggy, but immediately woke up, sitting up straight. "Mom, I'm coming right away!"
After quickly getting ready, she rushed to the hospital As she m reached the door of the ward, she heard voices arguing inside. Her second aunt was nagging, "Zion, I just wanted you to help us out a bit.
