Sadness In Their Eyes

The doctor handed them another brochure with some information about these options. "Please, take a look at this," he said. "Maybe you can find something that works for you."

Lucia's grandparents took the brochure and thanked the doctor.

"Thank you for your time, doctor," Lucia's grandma said. "You've been very kind to us."

The doctor smiled and wished them well. "Take care, Mr. and Mrs. Hawley," he said. "And don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions or concerns."

He left the room and closed the door behind him.

Lucia's grandparents looked at each other with sadness in their eyes.

Lucia's grandpa tried to cheer up his wife. He wiped her tears and smiled. "It's okay, honey," he said. "I'm fit and strong as a bull. Nothing's going to happen to me."

He kissed her on the cheek and said, "Come on, let's go."
