Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 540

Before going to work the next day, Natalie went to Lena’s room. She had been thinking about what Trevon had told her last night.

Trevon went to work early. Natalie had more freedom to work, so she only drove to work after helping the children at home wash up.

The door to Lena’s room was not closed. It was half open, but the polite Natalie knocked on the already open door. “Lena, can I come in?”

Lena, who was sitting on the bed, happened to be applying ointment. The cold wind in winter was more bone-chilling. It was especially difficult for Elderly people with rheumatism and knee arthritis to endure. They basically had to eat medicine and apply ointment nonstop.

“Natalie, come in. Why aren’t you going to work yet?” After applying the last bit of ointment, Lena lowered her pants.

Natalie sat on the edge of the bed and glanced at the trash can. There was no shell of painkillers, so she asked with concern, “Lena, have you been feeling unwell recently?”

He

Lena lowered her head and minded her own business as she tidied up the ointment. Her tone was very relaxed, and there was nothing unusual about it as she said, “Kiddo, I’ve been wandering around you every day. What’s there to feel unwell about? I take my blood pressure twice every day, and all I have is these two old legs hurting sometimes, nothing else. All old people have rheumatism, so don’t worry. Go to work.”

Natalie was skeptical, so she still planned to persuade Lena to go to the hospital for a checkup another day. “Really?”

“Really.” Lena’s eyes were firm.

“Alright, use the massager my brother gave you. If you have nothing to do, massage more. It can relieve the pain in your legs.”

“Got it. Hurry up and go to work. Don’t worry about me. There are so many people at home. I don’t have to do any work at all. I’m so free every day that I can only wander around.”

“Then I’m going to work. If you’re not feeling well, you have to tell me. You can’t hide it from me, okay?” Natalie stood up and said worriedly.

Lena agreed readily. She watched her filial goddaughter go downstairs and looked at her back. His eyes began to shine. She was finally relieved.

When Natalie arrived downstairs, she said, “Grandpa, I’m going to work.”

Theo stood up with his walking stick. “Girl, I’ll get the driver to send you there.”

“There’s no need. Grandpa, I plan to take my bike there. I miss riding it, hehe.” The weather was not that cold today, and the warm sun was already shining on the ground.

Theo nodded and did not object. He only instructed, “Then be careful. Ride slower.”

“Got it.” Natalie took the helmet and went straight to the garage to ride the motorcycle that her grandfather had given her. She opened the protective cover, and the bright, reflective body of the motorcycle was conspicuous in the dark garage.

She remembered the scene when her grandfather gave her the bike, but she was no longer sad. She smiled as she stepped onto the bike. Starting the engine, she felt the wind’s caress again. It was at a constant speed, not fast at all. She no longer needed freedom or excitement. She only needed to remember her grandfather’s good deeds and preserve this beautiful love he had left for her.
