“That’s all?” Liam visibly relaxed and let out a sigh of relief. “We’ll take her home for the New Year. Now stop crying”
Liam handed me another napkin “You’re making me feel guilty. Someone might think 1 bullied you.”
I nodded and took the napkin from him. “I won’t cry anymore.”
Liam and I exchanged looks for a moment before he sighed again. “What do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll boy it.”
1 shook my head and glanced back at Grandma. Then, I felt the familiar sting of tears well up again.
“What do you want to eat?”
I took a deep breath and clutched Grandma’s hand. “Beer-steamed clams,”
“That’s it?” Liam scratched his head. “I was going to go all the way to Bumbut Brews to get you some food, and all you want is beer-steamed clams?
I nodded. He stood there for a moment before exhaling loudly. “Alright, alright. I’ll get it for you.”
With that, Liam left. The ward grew quiet with just me and Grandma. I held her hand and rubbed my face gently against it.
When I was a child, times were tough, and we couldn’t afford meat. Grandma would take me to the beach to collect clams, and she’d cook them for me.
She’d always save the best for me whenever there was anything good to eat.
“I’m sorry Grandma. I still couldn’t protect you even in my second life.”

By the time I finished preparing everything, it was two days before New Year’s Eve.
Liam seemed to be dealing with something urgent and hadn’t come to the hospital since then. I called a cab to wait outside the hospital and decided to bring Grandma back
Grandma didn’t need a ventilator, but she couldn’t eat on her own due to her coma and was ted through a gastric tube. I learned how to manage it with the caregiver’s guidance and the doctor’s instructions
Then, I dressed her carefully in a light-colored down jacket and placed a hat on her head before moving her to a wheelchair. She looked much healthier now Grandma, you look so lovely.”
The caregiver handed me a pair of gloves. I gently straightened each finger before sliding t wheelcluir toward the door. “Grandma, let’s go home for the New Year’s.”

Just as I wheeled Grandma to the door, Liam buried inside and nearly collided with her in a rush
He barely managed to stop in time and catch his balance. “Phew, made it just in time to take her home.”
