"Wow, I didn't know she was here! How is she?" Diana had always liked Aunt Cook.
"She will be happy to see you."
Diana got up and went in. Brian tried to follow Abby, but Uncle Cook stopped him.
"I'm afraid my wife is gravely ill. I suggest you don't let Abby go inside."
So Brian stood and waited behind outside with Abby.
As Diana went inside, she saw aunt Cook lying in bed, looking terribly pale.
Diana couldn't believe it. Just a few years ago, her family had dined together with the Cook's. Back then, Jerry was still alive, and Aunt Cook was beautiful and healthy.
"Darling, look who is here," Uncle Cook said tenderly to his wife.
Aunt Cook slowly opened her eyes.
"Diana!" Diana's unexpected appearance made her quite excited.
"I'm here, Auntie."
"Diana is here with her husband and child," Uncle Cook said to her with a smile.
Without warning, Aunt Cook suddenly burst into tears.
