The Elders only knew that Old Tanner had an accident, but they didn't know he was in a coma.
"Child, is Old Tanner sleeping?" asked Grandpa Adams.
"Do we need to wake him up? How could he sleep when we came to see him!!" Grandpa Will said in a booming voice, he did it on purpose so that Grandpa Tanner, who he thought was sleeping, could wake up.
"Old Will, don't be noisy. Maybe he was under the drug effect, so he fell asleep." He patted his friend's shoulder. Then glanced at Mel, "Little Mel, has Old Tanner been sleeping for a long time?" Grandpa Hill asks.
Mel's face turned pale, her eyes slightly red. Her lips tremble when she tries to reply to Grandpa Hill, but her voice doesn't come out, slowly her head looks down. She can't bear to look at them.
Grandpa Adams, who saw Mel's face instantly turned pale, and her lips trembled, immediately realized something. With quick steps, he approached his best friend's bed and studied him carefully.
