Chapter 38: Her Gross Thoughts

"Good. Now give way," the old lady said without a single change in her expression. Rory nodded and moved to the side. 

That's her grandmother! She doesn't like to interact with her.

Agnes coughed a little and looked away. Rory observed her. . For a moment, it appeared as if the old lady couldn't figure out how to move the walker forward.

Rory's heart broke seeing her grandmother's confused state. Rory knew this is how vascular dementia progresses. If she suffers one more stroke, her brain functions would deteriorate further. Thinking of it made a chill run through her spine. 

It was tough for Agnes to decide which chair to sit on.  Mrs. Delport helped Agnes. Liam placed Ellie on Agnes' lap and she placed her hand on Ellie's back.

"Meet your great-granddaughter, Agnes," Liam smiled. 

Rory rolled her eyes seeing the smile on her grandmother's face as she patted Liam's cheek. She always had one or two words to spare for Liam but never for her.
