"Grandma, let's go there first and see," Elly said.
There was no hint of sorrow on her face; although devoid of any color, she dared only to suppress the turmoil and sadness in her heart, not letting the Old Lady see it.
With one hand, she supported the Old Lady, and with the other, she gently touched her own belly, saying,
"Adam has waited a long time for this child, and I will make sure to protect him—I won't let anything happen to him."
The Old Lady was still hesitant, but listening to Elly continue, "Grandma, even if I stay in the country now, I won't be able to find peace. It would be better for me to go there, lest I become irrational with worry, which would be bad for the fetus."
Although the Old Lady was still concerned for her, seeing her determination, she no longer objected and reluctantly nodded in agreement.
