Anna clearly hadn't expected my mom to show up so suddenly. A flicker of malice flashed in her eyes but was quickly masked by another expression. "Mom, Grandma suddenly went mad and attacked me. I tried to help her, but I couldn't catch her in time. It's my fault that she fell..."

Anna's face still bore faint marks from the slap Grandma had landed earlier.

My mom placed her trembling fingers under Grandma's nose. Was she as terrified as I was that Grandma had passed away?
