The following evening, their argument could be heard throughout the building.
Robert had asked his son to bring him a glass of water.
Daniel suddenly exploded.
“I’m disgusted by you! You’ve ruined my entire life! I wish I’d never had a father!”
Robert stared at him in horror.
“Daniel… I’m your father.”
“And I’m only eighteen! Why should I spend my entire life taking care of you?”
“I’ve done everything for you, son.”
“Then leave me alone now!”
Robert began to cry.
But Daniel slammed the door and walked away.

“Yes, he weighs 201 kilograms. He can’t move on his own.”
After a short silence, Daniel continued,
“We’ll be ready in three days. I want you to do everything at night. I don’t want the neighbors to see.”
Ellen felt a chill run down her spine.
