"Everything's fine." Paige paused for a moment, "Cory, take Ivy to wash her hands and face."
Cory replied and went off.
"What happened?" After the kids left, Rosalynn asked in a low voice.
"Good lord, the way things are going..." Paige sighed, "Ivy and Cory met Wayne's grandma."
"What?!" Rosalynn was astonished.
Paige held her forehead, "Not only did they meet her, but Ivy even volunteered to tell stories to the old lady!"
At the time, Ivy and Cory were still at the hospital having lunch with Granny Owens, and then they went to the hospital's small garden.
At that time, most of the patients were taking their naps in their wards, so there weren't many people in the small garden.
When Paige arrived with Ivy and Cory, they happened to overhear a nurse chatting with a middle-aged woman.
"I think the patient might not last more than a few months," the nurse said.
"Her grandson probably knows this, which is why he called us to come for hospice care," the middle-aged woman replied.
"Is there really a need for hospice care when she's already lost her consciousness?" the nurse shook her head in doubt.
Hearing this, Ivy's hand, which was holding Paige's finger, clenched involuntarily.
She looked out across the corridor at the old lady sitting in the wheelchair under the sun.
At first glance, Ivy was a bit scared.
The old woman was very thin, as if she was just skin hanging on bones.
"What's 'hospice care'?" Ivy looked up at Paige and asked.
Paige, busy with work messages, replied without thinking, "Caring for a dying person before their very last moments is called 'hospice care.' It's meant to help them pass away peacefully."
"Oh." Ivy nodded thoughtfully.
"You go play, but don't leave my sight." Paige let go of Ivy's hand and told Cory, "Cory, be careful not to fall, and remember to look after your sister."
"Okay."
