Lily-Anne Thompson, Aiden's grandmother, was a big fan of tangerines. When her favorite grandson came home with a bag full of fragrant fruits, she immediately ditched the begonias she was planting in the garden to eat the tangerines.
Aiden watched his grandmother eat with gusto.
It did not at all seem that his grandmother was suffering from a serious illness such as leukemia. Three days had passed since the biopsy sample was taken. Aiden's grandmother was determined to forget that she even had a biopsy.
In front of his grandmother, Aiden never mentioned his concerns. He kept them in his heart while praying every night that his grandmother forever remained at the peak of her health, no matter how nonsensical his wish was.
As usual every evening before dinner, Aiden went outside of the house to check whether the MUPs were still working properly.
