However.
After dinner, the hospital ward was cleaned spotless.
Cherline Lindsey showed no sign of leaving.
She kept holding Penny Sullivan's hand, sitting together in a sunny corner, basking in warmth.
Laura Waltson lay on the bed and timidly asked, "Sister Cherline, aren't you going home?"
"Are you being discharged?" Cherline didn't answer but asked back.
"N-no…"
Laura replied hesitantly, but a storm of fury brewed inside her—how eager Cherline was for her to be discharged and stop wasting money!
Yet, she weakly sighed like a sickly willow swaying in the wind, "Sister Cherline, my health isn't very good. I might need to stay at the hospital for a few more days. It's costing your family money again, and I feel so sorry…"
Immediately, this provoked Penny Sullivan's rebuke, "Laura, what are you talking about? You coming to the Lindsey Family is like being in your own home. Money is a trivial matter; you shouldn't even think about it, okay?"
"Grandma… I understand."
