I didn’t come because I was sick.

What was wrong?

I caught a bad cold and had a high fever.

I’m sorry about that.

Did you see a doctor?

Yes, I did.

My grandma took me to the hospital near my house.

Why didn’t your parents take you to the hospital?

They were both out of town,

so my grandma came to Taipei and took care of me.

I see. That was very nice of her.

Yes, I know.

She sat by my side all night because I had a high fever.

She also prepared chicken soup and apples for me.

Your grandma must love you very much.
