Eleanor Spencer Atkinson couldn't help but smile, feeling that everything she had done was worth it.
Mr. Atkinson, standing nearby, coughed twice and said, "Audrey, your grandfather also expressed his opinion."
Audrey hurriedly wrapped her arms around Mr. Atkinson's leg, sweetly saying, "Grandpa is the best."
Only then did Daniel Atkinson stop frowning and affectionately picked up Audrey to give her a kiss.
After some rest and with Eleanor's attentive care, Mr. Atkinson's health improved rapidly. Carrying Audrey didn't feel strenuous, but he couldn't do so for too long.
After holding Audrey for some time, Eleanor took her from Mr. Atkinson's arms.
Daniel didn't insist on carrying her and simply followed quietly behind Eleanor and Audrey.
Looking at the happy, chattering grandfather and granddaughter in front of him, he had to admit that after so many years, Eleanor was a good mother and grandmother, but...
Daniel stopped in front of a willow tree, gazing at it blankly.
