The prayers that came true
Chen Liling was pacing back and forth in the hall, unable to calm down. Today Jianyu and Serena were going for a checkup, and they had yet to call about the results.
Zixin trotted towards her. "Grandma! Why are you walking like that?"
Chen Guiren sighed. "Liling. Calm down. You are making even Zixin worry."
She pursed her lips. "I cannot help it." She looked down and picked Zixin in her arms. "It's nothing dear. Let's say your Mama and Dada are giving an exam, and we still don't know what the results are. So, I am nervous about them."
Zixin curiously asked, "Mama and Dada are not in school anymore, but they still give exams?"
Chen Liling chuckled. "My dear grandson. Exams don't get over if you just pass school or college. Those are just academic tests. Life continues to give you many such challenges in different ways that you need to face and overcome them. Today is…one such test for them."
