Sylvia pushed the door and walked into the house. There was no one in the hall, only a wheelchair.
"Grandpa?" She tentatively called.
"Come in," Robert's weak voice sounded in the inner room.
A bad feeling rose in Sylvia's heart, so she quickened her pace.
When walking to the door, she saw that Robert was lying on the bed without any movement and his tone was very weak.
Henry was sitting by the bed.
"Sylvia, come here," Robert's voice was very low.
Sylvia had no time to scold Henry and walked to the bed with concern.
"Grandpa, I told you not to talk!" Henry said.
"I can't help it," Robert smiled slightly.
"Don't smile!" Henry reminded him again.
"Henry, why are you yelling? How could you..." Sylvia couldn't help opening her mouth, but she stopped talking when seeing that Robert was lying on the bed, wearing a facial mask.
"I told you that when applying the mask if you laugh too hard and your face is moving, the mask will be useless. Why don't you listen to me?" Henry said with a look of exasperation.
It was unbelievable for Sylvia what was happening in front of her.
"Grandpa, you are..."
Robert pointed to his face, "Ah, this, Henry said my skin was poor and asked me to apply a facial mask every day."
Henry looked at his mobile phone, "Okay, 15 minutes have passed. It's time to take it off."
"Oh. This mask is really cool and comfortable," Robert took off the mask, twisted his body, got out of bed, and ran to the bathroom to wash his face.
Sylvia looked at Henry strangely, "You came here to teach my grandfather how to apply a facial mask?"
"Yes," Henry nodded. "When you are old, you should enjoy life. It is not only women who can apply a facial mask."
"You were too boring... Hmm?" Sylvia suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked towards the bathroom with incredibility. At the same time, her body was also trembling slightly. "My grandpa... he can walk?"
"Yes," Henry nodded. "Grandpa just had blocked the nerves in his legs, which was not a real paralysis. With just a little massage, he can stand up now."
Henry's words contained a lie. The biggest problem for Robert was the heart issue. But Robert asked him not to tell anybody about it.
"You, you really cured grandpa?" Looking at the man in front of her, Sylvia was shocked.
She had looked for many doctors for her grandfather's illness, but none of them had the ability to cure him. She had never thought that her husband, who had been doing housework for a month, could be the one to cure him.
"Pah, bah, bah, what husband?"
Sylvia's face was slightly red.
"In fact, it's not difficult. Grandpa's body is still strong. By the way, why are you here?"
