Adrian interrupted his grandmother, "Grandma, you're still very young. I won't allow you to say such things!"
The Davies family grandmother slowly smiled, her face full of wrinkles bunching together.
She looked at Adrian and softly spoke, "Adrian, birth, aging, illness, and death are natural human experiences that cannot be forced to remain. Grandma has lived long enough, but I just can't stop worrying about you! ... Adrian, rather than exerting so much effort to hold onto a grandmother whose time is past, why don't you listen and reassure me by marrying and having a real family of your own? This way, when grandma passes, I can give your daddy and mommy, and old grandpa an explanation."
Adrian's deep black eyes shimmered with tears.
