Every evening, my sister took a shower, then walked into grandpa’s bedroom with her hair still wet and locked the door. One night, I followed Her—and what I heard inside made me reach for my phone immediately…

His answer didn’t reassure me. It frightened me even more.

“What does she do in there?”

Grandpa’s expression changed immediately.

“You’ll find out when the time comes.”

That evening, Emily took another shower. I stood near my bedroom door and watched her walk down the hallway with her

hair still wet.

This time, she was carrying a small black bag. She entered Grandpa’s bedroom. Then I heard the lock click. A few minutes

later, Grandpa’s muffled voice came from inside.

“Do it quickly, before your sister notices anything.”

My heart tightened. Then I heard Emily reply:

“Don’t move. If I make a mistake, everything could get worse.”

I approached the door and pressed my ear against the wood. What happened next read in the comments👇‼️👇‼️

Something metallic clinked inside the room. A moment later, Grandpa groaned in pain.

“I’m sorry,” Emily whispered. “Just hold on a little longer.”

I couldn’t wait anymore. I reached for my phone, preparing to call our mother. But at that exact moment, the door opened.

Emily stood in the doorway. Her face was pale, and she was wearing medical gloves. Bandages and several small bottles

were sticking out of the black bag.

“What are you doing here?” she demanded.

I pushed past her and entered the room.

Grandpa was sitting on the edge of his bed. His shirt was lifted, and there was a large bandage on the side of his abdomen.

The sharp smell of antiseptic filled the room.

“What is going on?” I almost shouted.

Grandpa lowered his eyes. Emily slowly removed her gloves.

“Grandpa had surgery two months ago.”

“We know that. But the doctor said he had recovered.”

“He hasn’t.”

Emily explained that Grandpa’s wound had become infected after the operation. But he had refused to return to the hospital

because the treatment would be expensive. He didn’t want our mother to take out another loan. Mom was already working
