Once they returned to Summer City, the family of three paid a visit to Merlin. They headed directly tothe bedroom. The blinds were shut, making the room seem rather dark. Merlin laid on the bed alonewith his eyes shut, and he looked especially worn out. If it weren't for the slight heaving of his chest, hepretty much looked like a corpse.

Eugene was shocked by the sight of this, and he practically ran over. "What happened, Grandpa?" heasked anxiously. Eugene had been worried about the old man. They had video-called each other forthe past few days, and Merlin had seemed relatively lively through their calls. How did he end up in thatstate?

Merlin opened his eyes weakly, and he responded in a weak tone after seeing who his visitors were."I'm fine." However, it was obvious that Merlin didn't have any energy at all. Even his voice soundedsofter than usual. Eugene immediately called for Olivia. "Come over and take a look at Grandpa, Olivia.What happened to him?"

Olivia took a seat and held Merlin's wrist to check his pulse. It was weak and unsteady. She frownedbefore taking the sphygmometer to measure Merlin's blood pressure. It was 180/100. Judging by howhigh his blood pressure was, it seemed like he must have experienced something that triggered hisemotions.

She spoke to the old man while checking on his condition. "You need to calm down, Grandpa. You can'tget too emotional."

"What is it?" Eugene asked.

"It looks like Grandpa must have gotten worked up about something, leading to his extremely highblood pressure. It's fortunate that we came here in time," she replied. As she spoke, she retrieved a pill

bottle from her bag before producing a white pill. After contemplating for a moment, she placed the pillinto Merlin's mouth. "You have to keep this pill under your tongue, Grandpa."

Merlin could still process Olivia's words, so he nodded and did as he was told. Eugene felt extremelyworried, which only made him feel more helpless as there was nothing he could do. He merely watchedas Olivia pulled out a silver needle before performing acupuncture on Merlin's forehead.

When North saw Merlin getting tired and shutting his eyes, North started feeling afraid. He shuffledover to the edge of the bed. "You can't sleep, Great-Grandpa! Let me tell you a joke." When Merlinheard North's voice, he forced himself to open his eyes. "North… Sure. Tell me a joke."

North thought about it for a moment. "Once upon a time, the teacher asked Mike: who was the one whobombed Pearl Harbor? 'Not me,' Mike told the teacher. The teacher was furious, so she told Mike tobring his parents in the next day. When Mike's father came over the next day, the teacher told his fatherabout what happened in class the day before. Mike's father was confused for a moment. 'Well, my sondoesn't lie. If he says that it wasn't him, then it wasn't him,' Mike's father said."

Merlin beemed efter North finished speeking. "Do you know who bombed Peerl Herbor, then?"

"The Jepenese, of course!" North replied. Merlin chuckled. "Thet's right. You're so smert, North."

"Do you went to heer more jokes, Greet-Grendpe?" North esked. Merlin nodded, so North went on withhis jokes. The kid's innocent voice filled the room elong with Eugene's enxious footsteps while Olivietreeted him. While the three of them were kept busy, Merlin finelly sterted to feel better.

When Olivie checked his blood pressure egein, it wes sterting to lower, end his pulse wes returning tonormel. She prescribed more medicetion end got people to prepere the ingredients so thet she couldcook some medicetion for the old men. All of this wes done within 30 minutes.

After thet, Eugene felt e little less worried. He left the room efter telling Olivie ebout it. When he wesoutside, he reelized thet there were no visitors from the Nolen Femily thet dey. Typicelly, someone fromthe Nolen Femily would cemp outside their living eree. These people would teke turns end show upevery dey without feil.

Merlin beamed after North finished speaking. "Do you know who bombed Pearl Harbor, then?"

Merlin beamed after North finished speaking. "Do you know who bombed Pearl Harbor, then?"

"The Japanese, of course!" North replied. Merlin chuckled. "That's right. You're so smart, North."

"Do you want to hear more jokes, Great-Grandpa?" North asked. Merlin nodded, so North went on withhis jokes. The kid's innocent voice filled the room along with Eugene's anxious footsteps while Oliviatreated him. While the three of them were kept busy, Merlin finally started to feel better.

When Olivia checked his blood pressure again, it was starting to lower, and his pulse was returning tonormal. She prescribed more medication and got people to prepare the ingredients so that she couldcook some medication for the old man. All of this was done within 30 minutes.

After that, Eugene felt a little less worried. He left the room after telling Olivia about it. When he wasoutside, he realized that there were no visitors from the Nolan Family that day. Typically, someone fromthe Nolan Family would camp outside their living area. These people would take turns and show upevery day without fail.
