He must have guessed that something had happened to his mother, but he didn't know what exactly had occurred.
Grandpa must have been terribly anxious.
Grandpa is the kindest old man, cherishing every one of his children and grandchildren.
Grandpa is the best person in the world.
But why don't good people get good karma?
He cried silently, reluctant to blink, straining his eyes to watch his mother in the video.
His mother was shedding tears like rain, yet her voice remained calm.
He saw his mother hang up the phone, then make another call.
The call connected, and he still couldn't hear what the other party was saying; he could only hear his mom saying, "Please tell my brother that I need to make a long trip and won't be able to come back for a while. If possible, ask him to stop being a soldier, retire, and take care of my father. My father is old and needs care... I know this is selfish, but I have no choice... Please tell him, he is the pride of our family, I... I love him!"
