"It happened nine years ago, when I was nine years old. I got very sick and was dying because my parents did not have any money to take me to a hospital. Then, one day, my father's rich uncle learned about me and decided to give my parents some money to get me treated".
"I regained my health, and after a few months, I felt that something was wrong. Every passing day, my parents' faces got noticeably pale and they looked thinner. I asked them many times if anything was wrong with them, but they always told me that nothing was wrong. They told me that they were like that only because their new jobs were stressful, since they were always working on night shifts".
"I begged them to quit their jobs, but they refused, saying they needed the money to continue to take care of me".
"I got scared when my parents looked worse. One night, after they left for their jobs, I secretly followed them as they were not able to sense me since I was not that close to them".
