B
The day before Mother’s Day, the police received a call from an old woman because her husband had gone from their home. He has Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默病).
The police found Melvyn two blocks away from his home. He could not tell the police where he lived. However, he was able to understand where he was going clearly. He was buying his wife Doris flowers for Mother’s Day. He has done that since she gave birth to their first child.
Three years ago, Melvyn was told he had the disease. After that, his illness became worse and worse. His wife had to look after him. She was sad to see the disease taking away her husband’s memories.
The police told Melvyn’s family they would take him straight home, but Melvyn didn’t agree to go with them.
“He was pretty ＜b＞adamant＜/b＞,” a policeman named Troy Dillard told the reporter. “He wasn’t going home until he got those flowers. He wanted to buy flowers for his wife, because tomorrow was Mother’s Day,” another policeman named Brian Grigsby added.
So the police decided to help Melvyn make his dream come true. They stopped at a supermarket and helped him choose a bunch(束) of beautiful roses. “We had to get those flowers. We didn’t have a choice,” Brian Grigsby said.
