Soon after, the two of them revealed smiles of relief.
Cade waved his hand and said in a not-so-clear voice, "After celebrating so many years of Christmas in the countryside, I'll opt for a change this year. Let's celebrate Christmas in the city."
Grandma also smiled and said, "Our big villa is so beautiful. Of course, we have to spend Christmas in our new house. In the future, we'll spend Christmas in the city."
Although it was almost Christmas Eve, Wesley was still at work. Jaden and Zayn went to Luna's house every day to brush up their skills. Brandon had also found a new job. They were all going to be busy till two days before Christmas.
That was why those who had the time to come to the hospital were the younger siblings.
They do prefer a livelier festive atmosphere and to spend Christmas in the city.
Hearing their grandparents' words, they were so happy that they were about to jump in joy.
Alaric didn't think it through when he blurted, "Grandpa, Grandma, can we have fireworks this year?"
The ward fell dead silent for a few seconds.
Everyone stared at him.
Zilvia went missing on Christmas. Who would dare to celebrate Christmas in this manner?
Even if the youngsters are set to light up fireworks, they would go somewhere far away from the old folks so the latter wouldn't see or hear the loud bangs.
Everyone thought Alaric just touched a sore spot.
After Alaric finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had said something wrong. He shut his mouth in frustration and slapped his own mouth.
However, the two old folks just laughed. "Of course! Of course, we have to! Let's celebrate Athena's return, Zayn's return, Brandon's return, and our entire family moving into a big villa!
"We also have to hang the socks, decorate the Christmas tree, put up Christmas decorations, and get the Christmas presents ready. Make sure you guys get everything done before the big day."
Everyone felt a lump in their throats.
When the old folks decided to spend Christmas in the city and face the festive lights, it meant that they had accepted Zilvia's disappearance.
They may still have sorrow and pain in their hearts, but it was a weight they could bear.
Athena nodded silently.
It was remarkable that the two old folks, who faced the sacrifice of their three sons in their prime and the disappearance of their granddaughter in their old age, are still able to cope with life.
Athena smiled and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, everyone, my other grandma from the Kennedy family is recovering quite well and can be discharged from the hospital for a few days. I was thinking of bringing her over to celebrate Christmas with me. Will that be okay?"
Although Athena's other grandmother's surgery was successful, the latter's body was too weak. Now, she needed to rely on good treatment, medicine, and care to support her health. She needed to be permanently hospitalized. At most, she could be discharged from the hospital for only a few days to walk around outside.
The old folks commented, "That's a good thing. Of course, our family is going to warmly welcome her.
"It's our honor that your grandma from the Kennedy family is willing to come to our house for Christmas. You youngsters must take good care of Grandma Kennedy and make sure she has a blast. Okay?"
The younger siblings immediately expressed affirmation.
Claire said, "I'll tidy up the room on the first floor for your grandmother when I get back. Tell us what she likes and what to take note of. We'll definitely treat her with care."
Athena smiled. "My grandmother is a very nice person. She's not picky about things and uses whatever she can find at home. There's no need to give her special treatment."
Despite what Athena said, Claire still asked about her grandmother's preferences, habits, food preferences, and so on. She then jotted down notes on her phone.
After that, everyone split into two groups. Alaric, Josie, and Athena went to another hospital to pick up Athena's other grandmother, whereas the others went to settle the discharge procedures for the two old folks and brought them home.
The Donovan family had visited Athena's other grandmother before, so both parties already knew each other. It wasn't going to be an awkward first meeting.
Alaric and Josie were young, lively, and sweet-tongued. They buttered the old folks up until they couldn't stop laughing.
After Alaric and Josie had gone dawdling around the hospital, Fiona took Athena's hand and said with reddened eyes, "Athena, I know that Isaac and Regina are blinded by money and have neglected you. I'm worried that no one will dote on you after we're gone
"Back then, Lucas came to visit me every other day and said how much he liked you and that he would treat you well. I believed him and asked you to give him a chance.
"Now that I think about it, I always misjudge people. First, I misjudged my son and daughter-in-law. Then, I misjudged Lucas. I almost put you in jeopardy.
"But, Athena, although I've misjudged so many people, I read you right.
"You're really, really the best kid in the world. It's my blessing to have a granddaughter like you in my life."
