Chapter 5 They Are So Outstanding

680 Words
"Grandpa, what about Brenda and the others?" Claud asked with great anticipation. Frank grinned and said, "As always, you're so impatient. Let me tell you slowly. "Your third sister, Brenda, has been eccentric since she was young. In fact, I'm not quite sure what she is doing. She is mysterious and rarely comes back... "Your fourth sister, Carly, is a big star. I've heard that she is a popular celebrity in showbiz with more than ten million fans... "Your fifth sister, Freda, and sixth sister, Ruth, have been restless since young... "Freda is a very decent girl. She is one of the captains of the New York Criminal Police Department. She has cracked several big cases and has been recommended by the higher-ups." Frank laughed and then sighed, "On the contrary, Ruth is suffering. She joined the army, and I don't know how she has been doing there. She's only been back three times over the years, but she always sends a letter back every three months. "Your seventh sister, Adyson, is very smart. She is now an associate professor at New York University's Institute of Biology." "Amazing!" Claud gave a thumbs-up. He didn't know the details of how Ruth and Brenda were doing, yet other sisters of his were extremely outstanding, which made him very distressed. He thought, I wanted to come back and take care of my sisters at first. But it seems that... I'm afraid I have to rely on them to take care of me as I did when I was a child. Claud was in a good mood. He clinked his glass with Frank and glanced around the slightly shabby room. Then he asked, "Grandpa, my sisters are so outstanding, and they don't lack money at all. Why don't you extend the house? Besides, doesn't Freda know that John has been bullying you? She's a police officer. Dealing with John is a piece of cake for her." Frank sighed, "It looks like they lead a glorious life, but it's the result of hard work. They're all very busy, and I don't want to trouble them." Frank drank and explained. "As for John... That brat is a piece of sticky candy. He has so many cronies, and the police can never get them all. Besides, he didn't commit any serious crimes anyway. Even if he is imprisoned, he'll be released after some time. Chances are, we might suffer his revenge." Claud patted Frank's hand and firmly said, "Grandpa, with me, that won't happen whatsoever." Frank smiled and nodded, not taking Claud's promise seriously. Frank thought, we live under the rule of law, so violence is not the solution to all problems. But I'm still glad that Claud offers to take care of me. He remained silent. "Grandpa, your leg?" Before in the yard, Claud found that something was wrong with Frank's leg at first sight, but back then, he didn't have an opportunity to ask, and now he couldn't hold back his doubts anymore. "Don't mind it. In the fire back then, it was broken by a falling beam, and I was lame." Frank was very optimistic. "Sandra has given me a checkup, and she said that it's a lost cause. It has been years, and I'm old already. It's nothing to me. You don't have to take it seriously." "Let me take a look." Claud had followed his master to learn all sorts of things, including fighting and other aspects. He was proficient in all kinds of skills, and, of course, his medical skills were excellent. He was known as the "Divine Doctor". Seeing Claud squat down, Frank patted Claud's head and smiled, "Alright. I know you are a good kid. Just go find your sisters. Here are their numbers and addresses." Claud put the piece of paper in his pocket and grinned. "Alright then. I'll go find them now, and I'll treat your leg when I come back." Then he wrote down a number. "Grandpa, if that bastard John dares to come back, call me right away. I'll deal with him." "OK. Go ahead..."
