Chapter 21: The Actual Manipulation

At the hospital in front of the intensive care, Janet and Sue stood still, taken by the shocking news the doctor delivered to them.

They both kept silent. Suddenly, Janet asked, “So, doctor, when will we take George back home?”

Sue looked at Janet and felt that her mother was in denial. She came closer to Janet and placed her hand on Janet’s shoulder. “Mother, why don’t you go home and rest? I will take care of the paperwork.”

Janet looked at Sue. “I cannot leave George here.”

Sue looked at the doctor and the nurse and told them, “I will handle this; we will be fine.” Then, she took her phone and called for a taxi to take Janet home.

“What are you doing? I am not leaving without George”. Janet said so and started panicking. She ran inside the intensive care, where George’s body was lying on the bed and covered.
