"It seems like my granddaughter has quite a position in the family." The old lady's spirits brightened at the thought of her granddaughter and grandson-in-law living a good life. "Alright, I'll follow your advice. Let's go to Riverton."
Her grandma agreed right away, and Cornelia was super happy inside, "Grandma, I'll start arranging it right now."
"Hold on, I've got something for you." The old lady reached into her pocket, but found nothing. She realized she was wearing a hospital gown and looked around anxiously, "Nelly, where's my jacket?"
"Don't worry, Grandma. I've already put it away." Cornelia immediately handed the jacket to her.
The old lady opened the jacket and found a big patch inside. She tried to tear it off but couldn't, "Nelly, help me take this patch off."
Cornelia obediently did as she was told, and found a hidden pocket inside, where a bank card was placed.
"Grandma." Cornelia's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the worn-out bank card in her hand, "I can earn my own money. I don't need yours. I just want you to be healthy."
"Silly girl, what you earn is yours." The old lady patted her head, "This money is partly your father's inheritance and partly your wedding gift from me. You should accept it."
"Alright, Grandma, I'll take it." Cornelia knew her grandma's personality, and if she didn't accept, her grandma would keep worrying about it.
She carefully put the bank card in her bag, thinking about how she could return the money to her grandma in another way.
"That's more like it." The old lady smiled, not caring about her own illness at all.
In her heart, as long as her Nelly was doing well, even if she died, there was nothing to be afraid of.
As they were chatting, the old lady suddenly changed the subject and started talking about her grandson-in-law, "Nelly, you and Jay have been married for a year and a half now, why haven't you gotten pregnant yet?"
