I give my mother $25,000 a month to take care of my wife after she gives birth. But when I came home unexpectedly early, I found her secretly eating a bowl of spoiled rice mixed with fish heads and bones. What happened next was even more terrifying…

When I got home, the door was slightly open.

The house was unusually quiet.

Maybe the baby had finally fallen asleep. My mother was probably out walking or chatting with neighbors, like she usually did in the mornings.

I stepped inside quietly, set the milk on the table, and headed to the kitchen to warm something up for my wife.
