Guilty conscience.

The woman insisted on following her daughter because she was scared of sitting with her husband and mother-in-law alone.

But she was not allowed.

So she sat down back disquieted. Meanwhile, she was so scared of making a noise, for fear that the noise she made might give her husband and mother-in-law an insight of the little secret she has kept for so many years.

And any little movement they made, scared the shit out of her.

"What are you so afraid of? My grandson's situation is under control now, and you should be happy and grateful," the old lady cautioned her with furrowed brows. At the same time, her son didn't react at all.

What was going through his mind was more than he could take, so he had no room in his brain to think about irrelevant things.

Or maybe, he didn't want to think too deeply into the matter, because, studying his wife's actions might give him a clue.
