A greedy brother inherits a house and mocks his younger sister, who receives only five rusty old clocks from their late grandmother. Little did they know what was hidden inside these timepieces.
“Oh, so Grandma called you too?! I thought you’d be busy at the library… like a good little bookworm!” Brian, 26, teased his younger sister Linda, 19.
She just got out of the taxi. Fear filled her eyes as her heart told her, “Nothing will happen to Grandma. She’ll be okay. She’ll live another 100 years.”
Brian and Linda had come to visit their 90-year-old grandmother Marlene. She had asked them to see her urgently.
“My darlings, I want to see you one last time. I may not get the chance again,” Marlene had told them painfully on the phone two days ago…
Entering her grandmother’s room, Linda coughed, noticing that it was rather dusty. Marlene was too old and sick to do things herself. She hadn’t swept the floor, and Linda saw that the ceiling was moldy from a leak.
Linda opened the clock, and what she found inside would change her life.
“Grandma!” she ran and hugged Marlene, who was in bed. “Nothing will happen to you, Grandma. Don’t worry. God won’t take you away from us because you’re all we have.”
Until a year ago, Linda lived with Marlene. She took care of her and helped her a lot. She was even ready to turn down a life-changing scholarship, but moved to the city to continue her studies at Marlene’s insistence.
