Frank also cried. "Mom, your slap woke me up. On the way here, I thought about a lot of things.”
“You’ve worked so hard your entire life to raise me. After I got married, I was a little selfish. I didn't see your dedication. I'm such a jerk."
“Mom, hit me.”
He grabbed my hand and slapped himself across the face.
Ivy's voice was full of guilt. "Frank had already scolded me."
"He's right. If my mom were here, I would've turned on the AC long ago. I shouldn't have let you get sick from the cold.”
"As your daughter-in-law, I'm too stingy. I’m sorry. I know I was wrong, Mom. Please don’t hold it against us.”
Frank and Ivy pleaded sincerely to me. And Tom clung tightly to my neck. “Grandma, I beg you—please don't leave, okay?”
Then he planted a big kiss on my cheek.
Looking at my lovely grandson, I nodded.
Tom immediately cheered.
Ivy beamed with joy and took the train ticket from my hand. “Mom, wait here. I’ll go refund your ticket.”
Not long after she left, Tom said he wanted to go to the toilet, so Frank took him there.
I waited in the chair for a while, but they didn't come back, so I got up and went to find them.
Unexpectedly, at the restroom door, I saw the three of them.
