S2 61. Grandma is the Cause

Frank nodded curtly. “It wasn’t intentional. That’s why Mommy called it an accident.”

The twins’ cheeks puffed up. Their eyes narrowed, considering something.

“No wonder Grandma cried so loudly. She must be scared.”

“I understand Grandma’s feelings. When Louis protected me in the library, I was also scared, especially when his hand had to be in a cast. I felt guilty and wanted to keep hugging him.”

Seeing Emily hugging Louis and leaning her head on her brother’s tiny shoulder, Frank could smile again. Half the burden in his heart lifted. “Now that you know the truth, your hearts are at ease, right?”

Before Frank told them to sleep, Louis quickly raised his palm. “But we still want to accompany Auntie, Daddy.”

“Yes, we are curious about her condition. And as a family, we must give her support for a speedy recovery.”

“Actually,” Kara interjected with a mysterious smile, “there is one way you can do it. Go visit Auntie before you go to school.”

Frank looked at his wife in awe. “That’s a great idea, Kara. Louis and Emily can provide Barbara with support without shirking their responsibilities.”

Louis and Emily glanced at each other. After a few blinks, they slumped down. They realized that they had no reason to refuse Kara’s suggestion.

was grumbling.

“Oh, I hope I don’t get sleepy in class later. If we accompany Auntie, we can sleep for a while at the hospital.”

Kara snorted a laugh at that excuse. “If you’re afraid of falling asleep in class, you should sleep now.” She rubbed Louis’ back.

“Yeah, let’s go back to your room, Buddy. Don’t bother Emily.” Frank held out his hand.

Louis quickly hugged his younger sister. “I’m not bothering Emily. In fact, I’m comforting her so she won’t be too sad. Emily, let’s go back to sleep.”

Emily just blinked as Louis pulled her shoulders towards the pillow.

“Actually, Louis just doesn’t want to sleep alone, Dad. He’s the one who needs a friend.”

“Don’t be noisy, Emily. It’s already late. Sleep or I’ll kidnap Yemon later.
