His nana sarcastically remarked, “I thought you’d be sick for a long time before getting out of bed.” When he returned and noticed her absence, he assumed she was hiding, as her typical strategy was to feign illness. Grandma May, with a thick skin, was not bothered by her grandson’s sarcasm. “I’m old but strong. I won’t get sick easily,” she replied.
“Hurry up and get dressed. Head back to the house and change your clothes,” she urged. She playfully kicked Zachary and added, “I’ll wait for you in the pavilion. I had someone prepare ginger soup for you, so come out after you finish it.” With that, she turned and walked away.
Tania advised, “Zack, go change your clothes or you’ll really catch a cold. You don’t want another shot, do you?”
Zachary replied bitterly, “Mom, the person who forced me to get those injections isn’t here anymore.”
Tania felt a pang of sadness and replied, “Zack, it’s understandable for Serenity to be upset after discovering the truth. Just give her a few days to calm down. Everything will be fine.”
“My lies have made her lose all trust in me. I don’t know how long it will take for her to trust me again,” Zachary lamented, recalling how she had been frightened and wanted to run away at the mere sound of his voice. His heart ached at the thought.
Tania sighed, “You’re still young and have your whole life ahead of you. As long as you don’t give up, what does it matter if it takes longer? You have a lifetime to make things right.”
Indeed, they had a lifetime ahead of them. Zachary remained silent for a long time. After his mother’s repeated urging, he finally got up and went back into the house to change his clothes.
