“Mom, let’s do this tomorrow.”
Charity persuaded Larissa. “The sky’s getting dark. It’s time for dinner.”
“Aunt Larissa, please go home for dinner first.” Chester chimed in too.
“Okay.” Larissa stood up and put down the hoe. “Let’s go, Chet. Come over for dinner.”
Chester glanced at Charity’s face, which suddenly darkened, and refused resignedly. “I’ll decline the offer. Eliza will be unhappy if I go over for meals every day.”
Eliza was puzzled.
What was that supposed to mean? He made her seem like a petty person.
Besides, for someone who lived next door, was he not embarrassed about going over to her place for meals every day?
However, Larissa did not look in Charity’s direction. “Ignore Lizzie. I welcome you to come over to our place for meals. Besides, It’s all thanks to you today.”
“Mom, what are you talking about?” Charity did not understand a word.
Larissa quickly said, “Chet conducted a simple checkup on me today. He’s really skilled as a doctor.”
Then, she gave a thumbs up. “During the checkup, he discovered all the places where I felt discomfort. He’s amazing. He even told Ken to go to the pharmacy to get medicine for me and stopped me from paying. It’s only proper that I invite him over for a meal.”
“What’s wrong with my mom?” Charity got nervous upon hearing that.
“Due to her old age, she has mild osteoporosis, weak kidneys, and insomnia,” Chester said with a faint smile. “These little things may seem minor, but they’ll deteriorate her health if left untreated.”
“Mom, why didn’t you tell me about those things?” Charity frowned as she spoke. If she had known about it earlier, she would have brought Larissa to conduct a checkup.
