Aaron nearly screamed when she suddenly looked up and saw an old man dressed in old-fashioned black clothes standing in front of her, staring straight at her.
He leaned on a cane and had a pallid complexion.
She recognized the old man from somewhere but couldn't remember where.
Assuming he was a neighbor, she cursed loudly, "Are you crazy? Why are you standing here in the middle of the night?"
She patted her chest and continued to grumble, feeling angry that she had twisted her foot from being frightened earlier.
"Seventy or eighty years old and still wandering around at night, go die already!" she continued to rant.
She leaned on the stair railings and climbed up to the fifth floor, where her home was located. Despite her injured leg, she didn't dare complain and kept climbing.
However, when she reached the corner of the third floor, she saw an old woman standing in front of her, staring at her.
This time, the woman was wearing mourning clothes and startled Jian once again.
"You bunch of old things, have you died yet? Why are you wearing mourning clothes?" Jian continued to curse, feeling like she had been fully exposed online and was beyond caring at this point.
As she passed by the old woman, Jian glared at her and suddenly noticed that the old woman was standing on her tiptoes.
Jian's heart skipped a beat.
How could an old woman stand so steadily on her tiptoes?
She turned around to look and found that the old man had followed her without making a sound, despite leaning on his cane.
Jian suddenly became frightened.
When did the old man follow her?
Why didn't she hear any sound?
After all, he was leaning on a cane!
Jian's back was soaked with cold sweat, and she started running as fast as she could despite her injured leg.
She just wanted to go home.
As she climbed the stairs one by one, she hoped she wouldn't encounter anyone else.
But unfortunately, as she reached the fourth floor, she saw yet another old person standing at the stairway.
This time, it was an old man wearing hospital clothes.
Jian realized that these old people weren't just random neighbors, but something more sinister. She was truly frightened.
Looking at the elderly person in hospital clothes in front of her, she finally remembered--
Isn't this the same elderly person who was hospitalized last time, the one who just had lung cancer surgery?
Lisa stepped back in fright, but heard a faint voice in her ear, "You stepped on me."
She turned her head suddenly, her hair standing on end--the old man and old woman from before were behind her again without her knowing when!
Just as she was about to run away, she turned her head and saw the elderly man in hospital clothes in front of her!
"Lisa, I need to cough... I'm very uncomfortable!" he said softly, "Can you help me..."
Lisa seemed to smell the foul smell of phlegm...
Of course, she remembered.
After the old man had lung cancer surgery, the doctor instructed him to cough frequently.
As a caregiver, she had to help the old man get up at least seven or eight times per hour and pay extra attention to his wound... Who could do this?
Won't it exhaust her to death?
So after the first day, she started slacking off and didn't dispose of the phlegm from the day before. When the doctor's family came, she said he had already coughed it up.
On the third day, the old man coughed even more severely. He even woke her up in the middle of the night!
People don't sleep well at night, especially when they are woken up in the middle of the night, they get irritable.
She got angry and pinched the old man's urinary catheter--continuing from the surgery, the catheter was connected to a drainage bag hanging from the bed, and the doctor would instruct to empty the drainage bag before it got full--
Lisa pinched the drainage bag and let the urine flow back.
The next day, the old man died from acute infection.
The doctor had already said that if phlegm cannot be coughed up, it can easily lead to infection.
Postoperative infection resulting in death is also common, although the family is very sad, they didn't think of anything else.
[Arguing and arguing, let's see if you still argue!] Lisa remembered saying this when the old man was carried away.
"Ah..."
Lisa screamed, and ran away frantically, but no matter how she ran, she couldn't get to the fifth floor.
She ran and ran, and every time she looked up, she found herself on the third or fourth floor.
At every staircase landing, there was an elderly person waiting for her.
From the initial three to later five, eight, ten...
Lisa's legs were exhausted from running.
She curled up in the corner of the staircase in horror, "Don't come over, don't come over!"
Just when she was desperate, she suddenly saw a little girl, Susie, standing at the staircase landing on the third floor!
"Susie, help me, help me!" Lisa crawled and scrambled to try to climb down.
But she couldn't get to the third floor no matter what she did.
Susie pursed her lips and looked at her, asking, "The innocent have nothing to fear, but you have brought harm to your grandparents, and they have come to seek revenge. Did these grandparents have a grudge against you?"
Caregiver Lisa's face turned pale, sweat dripping down her face, and her pupils dilated... it was terrifying to look at.
She cried, "No, no grudge..."
An old woman dressed in white said softly, "Then why did you force me to eat feces and suffocate me with a pillow in the end?"
Caregiver Lisa trembled with despair, "I didn't mean to do it. I was just too tired. I had no malice."
Susie pursed her lips. They were dead because of her, and yet she claimed no malice?
Caregiver Lisa cried and said, "The elderly are just too difficult to take care of. I was exhausted, but I had to earn a living..."
Elderly people who are bedridden and unable to care for themselves are also a burden on their children.
Basically, seven or eight families out of ten are overwhelmed and exhausted by this, and they also hope for a release, don't they?
That's why she killed so many elderly people without being discovered.
Later, she felt that this was normal, after all, they were a burden.
The children couldn't bring themselves to do it because of their morals, but she did it to relieve them...
Maybe they secretly appreciated her!
Susie's face tightened, "You can't kill your grandparents just because you need to earn a living!"
"Besides, the children of these grandparents must not want them to die."
Caregiver Lisa cried and said, "At first, I wasn't like this. It was another senior who taught me this. I really didn't have this intention at first... I really didn't have malice, really..."
Seeing that Susie was indifferent, she looked at the elderly people in front of her again, "If you die, your children will also be relieved. Otherwise, you will only be a burden to your children without any quality of life... Why not just die? You see, I am only thinking about your children..."
Susie couldn't understand what she was saying.
Ghosts are scary, but she found that some people's hearts are even scarier than ghosts.
She pursed her lips and suddenly didn't want to deal with what was in front of her.
Originally, she should have persuaded these grandparents to leave and not stay in this building.
But now she wanted to leave.
Susie acted on her thoughts, turned and walked downstairs.
Caregiver Lisa was frightened and rolled down, shouting, "Miss Susie, Miss Susie!"
"Please don't go! Please save me!"
"Miss Susie, help me, can you bear to watch me die?!"
"Ah!"
Susie went downstairs and saw Kellen waiting for her.
A scream came from upstairs...
