People living in New York will always forget the change of seasons in their busyness, and they will only stay away from the Big Apple and return to their hometown to reunite with their original families after a year's hard work throughout the year.

Like the Chinese New Year, in the last month of Lao Mei, many people are ready to welcome the arrival of the New Year early.

The Christmas dinner at Old John's family has been the same for decades, and on this day, as long as they can spare time, the children and grandchildren will try their best to rush back to get together with Old Johnson, so that his old man can enjoy the happiness and satisfaction of his grandson.

But this year's atmosphere was particularly solemn, because Johnson Sr. was no longer physically fit to share this wonderful time with his children.

The winter of 2025 is particularly cold, and as soon as winter begins, it is already difficult for Johnson Sr. to get out of bed, and his home is equipped with advanced care and family doctors at all times, so he is afraid of any abnormalities.

Johnson Sr. is 91 years old this year and will be 92 years old after the New Year. Although the maintenance and care are very good, the physical function still has varying degrees of failure, and no one thought that the day of his old man's home would be these days.

Lin Zitan and Emma have been taking care of old Johnson recently, and no matter how busy they are, Lin Zitan will try to rush back to have dinner with them.

There were a few times when old Johnson was doing well, and Lin Zitan thought that maybe it was because of the winter, so the old man was uncomfortable, but on Christmas Day, the old man only sat downstairs for half an hour before he was rescued by the old man.

"Why don't you just take it to the hospital?"

Zhuang Yijun also obediently followed Frank back from California this year, looking at a room of people waiting in the living room downstairs with solemn faces, she couldn't help but ask Frank in a low voice.

"Grandpa has all the equipment in the hospital, Dad has already called two expert doctors to come over, and they will be there in a while, let the ambulance pull to the hospital, and then be tossed by those idiot medical staff, it's not enough to delay time!"

Frank whispered disdainfully.

"Oh, I see~"

Zhuang Yijun and Frank have been together for so many years, and they have long been accustomed to his arrogant way of speaking, even if they are dissatisfied, they have slowly learned to accept it, so she shut up and never asked more.

After a while, two doctors in suits and leather shoes arrived in a hurry, with a little unhappiness on their faces that they were disturbed by the family reunion, but after meeting Frank's father, they still respectfully followed the housekeeper up.

After about an hour after the two doctors entered, Frank's father finally came out of his grandfather's hospital room.

"It's okay, let's eat, let's not leave after eating, stay and see the situation first, Emma, your husband and wife and aunt will help you arrange a place to live, if you really can't live, you can stay in a nearby hotel."

The doctor said that grandpa will probably wake up in the second half of the night at the earliest, he must not want everyone to disperse after waking up, this special holiday, we must be by his side, with him through the darkest moments!"

Everyone nodded yes, and in an instant the whole hall returned to a little festive atmosphere, and the children were hungry, and they had already eaten for them, and they were all sent to the children's playroom to play.

Only Johnson's wife came over with the children tonight, but when I heard that my grandfather was sick, the mayor, who was busy with his official duties, also rushed over in the snow.

"Uncle, father, I've already eaten, and tomorrow morning there is something to do, so I'll go back first, and Sophie and the children will stay until Grandpa wakes up.

Sophie, tell Grandpa, I love him very much, good night everyone~ Merry Christmas!"

Johnson finished speaking quickly, nodded goodbye to the rest of the family, and soon disappeared into the snow.

------------------

"Grandpa's house can't stay, we still have two rooms at home, Eddie, Frank, you two go with us to stay, it's not convenient to go out and stay in a hotel so late." ”

When everyone finished their dinner silently, it was already more than 10 o'clock, and Lin Zitan and Emma cooperated with the old nanny to allocate all the rooms.

From Eddie and Frank's parents to Johnson's wife and children, there were originally four rooms, but the old man insisted on turning one of them into a children's room and classroom for the children, and now only three families can live.

"Okay, I don't think I've been to your house yet, so I'm going to take a look~"

Frank replied cheerfully.

"Then let's go, Emma and I will take you there. ”

Emma called the children out, and the three families walked to Lin Zitan and Emma's house, five minutes away.

"Wow, it's snowing, it's snowing~"

As soon as she walked out of the old Johnson's villa, her youngest daughter Lin Jingxia couldn't help but shout.

Next, Lin Jingxuan and Eddie's two sons also rushed to the gate.

In order to protect the safety of the children, Xiao An was the first to rush forward to accompany Lin Jingxia.

"Well, it's snowing so hard, you go slowly, don't fall, Grace, you go and watch your younger siblings, and don't let them slip. ”

Eddie followed behind the children and explained to his eldest daughter, who was walking next to him like a little adult.

"Jing Xuan, Jing Xia, run slower, pay attention to safety~"

As soon as Lin Zitan walked out of the gate, he shouted to the children who were running away.

"It's okay, it's only a few minutes away, and they don't know how many times they've walked. ”

Emma whispered as she slowly followed behind Eddie's wife, Angela.

"Yes, it's okay, these children are not young anymore, and your twins are also 10 years old, right?"

Angela asked as she walked.

"I turned 11 in February, and I'm already in the fourth grade. ”

Emma looked at the figure running away and said with relief.

"Time flies so fast!Alas, Yijun, you keep up, don't get lost~"

At this time, Angela suddenly turned back to look at Frank and his wife, and the one who had promised to be the fastest was Frank, but he didn't expect to walk the slowest.

"It's coming~"

Zhuang Yijun's voice drifted over with the biting cold wind, trembling slightly.

She really didn't expect to stay so late today, and now she can't even go back, she originally told Zhuang Ning to sleep there at night, but now she quickly called her mother as soon as she went out.

In fact, Eddie and Frank both have their own luxury apartments in the city center, but they are relatively not as close as Emma and Lin Zitan's family.

Eddie's family was in Midtown, and Frank was afraid of the noise, so he bought a high-end apartment near the Brooklyn Bridge.

---------------

"Eddie, you husband and wife live in this room, Frank and you live, the room has a separate bathroom, the three boys can sleep together in Lin Jingxuan's room, Grace, you live in Lin Jingxia's room, the little girl will sleep with me tonight." ”

As soon as she entered the house, Emma arranged rooms for her two cousins and their family.

"Little girl sleeps with you, where do you put your husband, sleep in the study?"

Add reminded Emma with a smile.

"Don't worry about me, I'll go to my grandfather's house to guard after I arrange for you, and I'll call someone back to inform you as soon as there is news. ”

Lin Zitan said with a faint smile.

"You don't have to, if grandpa wakes up or something, my father will call. ”

Frank felt a little inexplicable about Lin Zitan's arrangement, so he couldn't help but speak up.

"Yes, Daniel, you don't need to stay over there, anyway, the two special guards are on duty, it should be fine, you better sleep in peace for a while, maybe you will be busy tomorrow!"

Eddie was also kind and authentic.

"Let him go, uncles and aunts are also not young, in case there is anything particularly urgent, it is better to have a young man over there, you don't have to worry, I will call you if there is something." ”

Emma took out the momentum of the eldest sister, and the few young people present didn't say anything more, and Frank was also dragged to their room by Zhuang Yijun, and said thank you to Emma before leaving.
