Wendell frowned, not because his grandfather and grandmother were old or because they were in poor health, but he seemed to feel a sense of helplessness from his mother's words.
Hearing his mother's words, Wendell did not say anything, but only nodded noncommittally.
"Little Wendell, what is your opinion?" Helen couldn't help but ask. She certainly knew that her son would definitely not have a good attitude towards those people in Tafator County, so she had to seek his opinion.
Wendell spread his hands and said indifferently, "mum, you just make the decision on such matters, I listen to everything you say!"
Once Helen heard this, she instantly understood that her son was unwilling in his heart, and could even say that he was extremely determined to loathe going back, but because he had brought it up, he could only nod and agree, it was not good to refuse.
"Little Wendell, mum knows you don't want to go back, but after all, your grandparents are old……" Helen found that she really had no reason to convince her son.
Grandparents? What does that have to do with Wendell?
Helen still clearly remembered that after she left her old home and moved to Tafator County, because life was really too bitter, seeing her son being starved to the point of being yellow and thin, she could not bear it in her heart, so she took her son back to her old home.
As a result, she was scolded by the old man as soon as they met, and instead of eating at home for a whole day, her son ran off alone to the fields, dug up wild vegetables, and cooked and ate them in a small paint bucket that he had picked up from somewhere!
At that time, Wendell was only just eight years old.
When his son disappeared, no one in the whole family went to look for him, even when Helen begged, no one moved.
When she saw her son, whose little face was blackened by smoke, her heart simply broke, and she walked the whole night with her son in her arms, straight back to the county.
These things, Helen inadvertently found in her son's diary when she was moving house once, and her feelings at that time can be imagined.
Under such circumstances, how could Wendell be willing to go back?
In his heart, how could he still have any so-called grandparents? Not to mention what aunts and uncles and the like, apart from insulting Wendell, no longer brought him any other impression.
It was already considered broad-minded of Wendell not to retaliate against them!
When she thought of this, Helen could not help but sigh softly, her heart felt like a knife twisting, she also hated those family members who only had fame and face in their eyes, but not the slightest affection.
But after all, they were her parents, her brothers and sisters.
Helen did not want to see her son's hate-filled eyes when she mentioned her old family. Although Wendell's eyes were now calm and his expression was incomparably calm, without a single ripple, Helen knew that in her son's heart, there were indelible scars.
The hardship of the environment can create a person's heart of stone, but few people know that once the stone is cracked, it is very difficult to heal again.
However, Helen hopes that her son can remove the hatred from his heart, or at least, not hate the people of his family so much, after all, they are her family.
Even though his parents had gone too far, he owed them a debt that he could not repay for the rest of his life, so he could not just hate them.
After weighing her words, Helen sighed lightly and said, "Little Wendell, mum knows that you are not happy in your heart and don't want to go back, but this time it is mum who wants to go back, so just think of it as accompanying mum back, okay?"
Wendell smiled and said, "mum, I've said it all, I'll listen to you."
Helen nodded slightly, but in her heart she was even more worried, the more Wendell was like this, the more it meant that he was already extremely angry in his heart, but there was nothing Helen could do to make her son change.
"Then it's a deal!"
Helen laughed, "Little Wendell, we have to agree first, when we get back home, you can't just lose your temper, if there's anything, just put up with it a little more, even if it's for mum's sake, put up with it, okay?"
Wendell nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, mum, I've always been obedient, and this time is likewise no exception……"
"It's just acting as a chauffeur for once, for mum, I'm happy to do it!" Wendell added another sentence.
Helen's heart sank when she listened, just a driver only…… son this is drawing down the line, if it is beyond the scope of the driver, he is not doing it.
Just say it vaguely.
"Fine! Then you'll be a driver!" Helen smiled.
Wendell, however, frowned slightly and was secretly puzzled in his heart.
He knew his mother's character very well, she had a heart of bean curd, although she seemed fierce, she was actually very soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see others suffer. But even so, when it came to her old home, her mother had not gone back all these years, which was enough to see how sad she was in her heart.
But the question is, what exactly is the reason now that made mother actually come all the way from Gramboya to Granola to take him back with her?
The reason is that the mother must know her attitude towards her old home, but she must have called him, there must be some reason in between that he does not know……
Why don't you tell us, maybe I can help too!"
"You can help?" Helen's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise.
Wendell smiled and said, "That depends on what it is…… If it is some trivial matter, then I can help, but if it is some national matter, then forget it, I am not that capable!"
Helen immediately laughed and scolded, "Brat, just know poor mouth, a small Tafator County can have what national affairs? I think you just don't want to help!"
"Then you have to tell me what the matter is, right? Otherwise, even if I want to help, I don't know where to start!" Wendell heatedly smiled, but in his heart, he was even more certain that his mother must have dragged himself back, there must be something he wanted to do, and it was still something that he couldn't do without himself.
"Your grandfather has fallen ill." Helen sighed and said: What?!" Wendell was stunned, then he smiled: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is a normal part of life, there is nothing to worry about, I can help with this favor……"
He laughed: "Granola's big hospitals, I can help contact, really can not, then find the second brother or directly to the second uncle, the money by me to pay, cure well, this is all indifferent thing!"
"But this is not an ordinary disease……" Helen's face was a bit gloomy as she said softly, "What your grandfather has is lung cancer, often from smoking dry cigarettes!"
Wendell was stunned, and only after a long time did he say, "mum, this is all the more reason to contact a big hospital, the small hospital in Tafator County doesn't work at all, I think, we don't need to go to Tafator County, you can send someone to Tafator directly, bring Grandpa over, I'll help contact the hospital, okay?"
Helen glared at him and wanted to rebuke him, but when she saw the bright smile on Wendell's face, her heart felt like it was twisting like a knife, and she swallowed back her words at the edge of her mouth.
The fact is, no matter how good Wendell's words are, they are only for one purpose – not to go to Tafator!
Whether it was helping to contact the hospital or offering to pay for it, there was no need to go to Tafator County, let alone meet the person who disgusted him so much.
Helen wanted to reprimand him but couldn't find a reason to do so. When she thought about it, Wendell was able to help with the money and contact the hospital, so she had actually done her best to be kind.
For him, this is spending money to buy a peace of mind, not to help certainly can not say, then spend a little money, make a few phone calls to contact the hospital, this to his grandfather, it has helped a lot.
As for meeting…… or in another life!
Helen, however, cannot blame her son, think about it from a different perspective, Wendell even if he just ignores it, then at most he will be poked and prodded, and will not lose anything.
However, this was definitely not the outcome Helen wanted.
"Little Wendell, mum heard that you have a special medicine in your hands that is very effective against some diseases?" Helen finally opened her mouth and asked.
Wendell was stunned and then smiled, thinking that his mother must have known this news from his father and grandfather, he nodded without hiding and said, "Yes, there is such a special effect medicine that can hang on to one's last breath, but it is unlikely to cure the disease, because it is not a cure!"
"How did you cure your grandfather's illness?" Helen immediately asked.
"Mainly using other methods, and then with the medicine……" Wendell smiled, "mum, if you need this kind of medicine, I still have some here, you can take it by all means!"
"What about you?!" Helen pursued, "Little Wendell, mum knows that you are actually the master of healing, without your hand, this medicine is actually not very effective, right?"
Wendell immediately smiled bitterly, after all was said and done, his mother had still put the idea on his head.
It seemed that this was the reason why his mother had to drag himself to Tafator County!
"mum, lung cancer is not an ordinary minor ailment, if I could even cure cancer, I would have already gone to be a miracle doctor, why would I still be in school?" Wendell laughed, "mum, it's getting late, I guess Helen and Ta ta have already got dinner ready, I'll go down and take a look first!"
With that, without waiting for Helen to say anything, he quickly walked out.
Helen could only laugh bitterly and speechlessly, after a long time, she took out her mobile phone and dialed her husband's number: "Marl, it's really just like you guessed, Wendell is extremely repulsed by this matter, just when I brought up the topic, he avoided it and didn't talk about it at all!"
"That's why I asked you to come to Granola early, so that you can slowly work on him, don't worry, in time, he will definitely think about it, our son, can you still not understand?" Marl comforted, "I'll give him another call tonight and do his job again!"
"But, I'm afraid…… I'm afraid the old man can't wait that long!" Helen sighed softly.
Marl mused, "That's a problem…… Then this way, when Wendell has finished his exams, you will go back immediately, if he really doesn't want to, force him to agree, this brat can't be spoiled like this all the time, his tail is up in the air!"
"Pah!" Helen was so angry that she hung up the phone directly, how could she not hear that her husband was saying the opposite with this last sentence, aiming to knock herself from forcing her son.
"Just know how to protect your son, you think I want my son to be aggrieved!" Helen grunted in exasperation!
