Girl Keeps Getting Sick, So Dad Tells Officer To Trail Grandma

Concerned

Frank Morrison, a concerned father residing in a quaint town, had been feeling increasingly anxious about his daughter’s welfare.

His little girl, Jenny, had been spending a lot of time with her grandmother lately, and he couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was amiss.

One day, while playing with his daughter, Frank noticed that Jenny’s juice tasted peculiar. What started as a playful moment quickly turned into a grave realization.

A Realization

He realized that his mother-in-law might have been causing harm to his little girl.

The thought of his daughter being in danger sent chills down Frank’s spine, and he knew he had to take action to protect her.

He knew that he couldn’t sit idly by. But he couldn’t break his wife’s trust. He decided to call up the one person he knew he could trust.

Asking For A Favor

To ensure her well-being, he decided to ask one of his acquaintances, who was a police officer, to tail her and keep an eye on her activities.

Patrick Nemo was more than happy to help out.

The situation took an unexpected turn when the investigating officer discovered an unusual clue that raised suspicions.

Deserted Alleyway

While examining the deserted alleyway where the grandmother had last passed through, the officer stumbled upon a juice box that belonged to Frank’s daughter.

This discovery sparked a chain of events that led the investigator down a mysterious and convoluted path.

As they delved deeper into the case, they found themselves exploring some unusual avenues in their search for answers.

Crucial Evidence

Detective Nemo picked up the crucial piece of evidence and continued walking through the alley. He was trailing Frank’s mother-in-law, but he didn’t know what to expect.

Nemo, who had been following the grandmother for quite some time, finally managed to trail her to a nearby grocery store.

As he walked in, he scanned the store to locate the aisle where the old woman was shopping.

Wandering Through The Aisles

After a few minutes of wandering through the aisles, he finally found the one where she was browsing.

However, when he saw what she was grabbing from the shelf, his eyes went wide with shock.

The old woman looked left and right before reaching her hand out onto the shelf. Nemo’s eyes went wide as he saw what she was grabbing.

No Going Back

Her granddaughter next to her jumped for joy that she was supplying her with more of it.

The detective’s mind was in a state of turmoil. His head felt like it was spinning.

He knew that he had a grave responsibility on his shoulders. He had uncovered something that he needed to report back to his client’s father, but the gravity of the situation made him anxious.

The Ugly Truth

He knew that the information he shared with him would have a life-altering impact on their lives. The weight of his decision was making it hard for him to focus.

He took photos and decided to go straight back to Frank to give him his findings.

He didn’t want to upset his long-time friend, but he knew that he had to see the ugly truth.

Frank Morrison

Frank Morrison was a devoted father who loved nothing more than spending time with his eight-year-old daughter, Jenny.

He thanked his lucky stars every day that he had met her mother, Vivian, ten years ago and married her.

Vivian and Frank were the talk of the town as their whirlwind romance quickly turned into a celebration of life and love as they married in a beautiful ceremony on the beach.

Having Jenny

Two years after their first meeting, they once again celebrated life as they welcomed their daughter into the world.

Frank was over the moon when he first laid eyes on little Jenny, and he knew from that moment on that she would be the light of his life.

Frank was a hard-working man who often worked long hours to support his family, but he always made time for Jenny.

Father-Daughter Bond

They would spend their weekends exploring the local park, playing catch in the backyard, or reading books together.

Frank loved watching his daughter grow and learn new things, and he was always there to encourage her and offer a helping hand.

As Jenny grew older, Frank began to worry about the world she was growing up in. He wanted to protect her from all the dangers and hardships that he knew were out there.

Teaching Her About Life

But he also knew that he couldn’t shelter her forever.

So he made it his mission to teach her everything he knew about life and to instill in her the values of kindness, honesty, and hard work.

He was proud of his daughter, who had blossomed into a confident and caring young girl. But a bad influence was just over the horizon.

A Call

One day, Frank’s wife, Vivian, received a call from her mother, Linda. Linda was in tears as she told Vivian about her bank foreclosing on her house.

Linda had nowhere else to go, so Vivian, without hesitation, invited her to stay at their house.

Frank was not happy about this decision, as he wasn’t even consulted about it.

Linda Arrived

However, he knew that Linda was an important person in Vivian’s life, so he didn’t say anything. As soon as Linda arrived, Frank could feel the tension rising in the house.

Linda was a bit difficult to live with, and she had a habit of criticizing everything Frank did.

Frank tried his best to be polite and accommodating, but it was getting harder and harder with each passing day.

Tensions

One day, Frank came home from work to find Linda rearranging the living room furniture. He had specifically asked her not to do that as he liked the current arrangement.

Linda, however, didn’t seem to care and continued to move things around.

Frank lost his temper and told Linda to stop meddling with their home.

A Solution

Vivian was caught in the middle of the argument and tried to calm both of them down. Frank realized that he needed to find a solution to this situation as soon as possible.

He sat down with Vivian and had a heart-to-heart conversation about Linda’s stay.

They both agreed that Linda needed to find a more permanent solution, and they decided to help her find a new place to live.

It Would Take Months

But the search would take months. And with Christmas around the corner, they wanted her to at least stay for the festive season.

But Frank had no idea what she was going to do to his daughter.

Over the next few weeks, Vivian grew close to her granddaughter. Jenny hadn’t spent a lot of time with Vivian in the past and desperately wanted more attention from her.

Getting Closer

It was good to see that they were getting along. As long as Jenny was happy, so was Frank.

However, something always made Frank feel suspicious of the old lady. He wanted to be able to trust her.

But that would all change soon enough when a clue set off alarm bells in the father’s head. It would have him calling in a few favors.

A Day Like Any Other

One day, Frank was playing with little Jenny in the living room.

They played with her dolls and watched some cartoons when he noticed that she was drinking juice that he hadn’t prepared for her.

“Did Mommy make that for you?” he asked. But she just shook her head. “Grandma made it for me,” she said innocently.

Having A Sip

Frank didn’t know that Vivian had been making his daughter juice.

He didn’t give it much thought, but then an idea wormed its way into his brain. “Hey, sweetie, do you mind if I have a sip?”

The little girl smiled and handed him the bottle. He stared at the concoction before taking a fateful sip. But what he tasted made his blood boil.

Alcoholic

He wanted to spit it out immediately. It was a sour taste that made him think of one thing – alcohol.

He felt rage overcome him, but he had to hide it from his daughter.

He asked his daughter if she was sure that it was Vivian who gave it to her. She nodded, sealing her grandmother’s fate. Now Frank had to do something drastic.

Had To Do Something

Frank was struck with the realization that his mother-in-law might be causing harm to his beloved little girl.

The mere thought of his daughter being in danger sent shivers down his spine, and he knew that he had to take swift action to ensure her safety.

However, he found himself in a predicament. On the one hand, he couldn’t simply sit back and do nothing, but on the other hand, he couldn’t betray his wife’s trust. It was a tough decision to make, but ultimately, he knew that he had to do what was best for his daughter. He decided to reach out to the one person he knew he could rely on and confide in.

Getting Some Help

In order to guarantee the safety and security of his loved one, he made the decision to approach a close acquaintance of his, who happened to be a member of the local police force, to keep a watchful eye on her and monitor her actions.

Patrick Nemo, the acquaintance in question, was more than willing to offer his assistance.

However, the situation underwent an unforeseen and dramatic shift when the investigating officer stumbled upon a perplexing and unusual clue that sparked concerns and doubts.

Unexpected Discovery

This unexpected discovery rattled the officer and set off a series of events that led them down a complex and puzzling path.

In their quest for answers, the investigator found himself venturing down some unconventional and obscure routes.

He was delving deeper into the case than he had ever thought possible. After a long pursuit, Nemo finally caught up to the grandmother and followed her to a nearby grocery store.

Seeing What She Was Taking

As he stepped inside, he carefully scanned the area to locate the aisle where the elderly woman was browsing through the items on the shelves.

Then he watched her grab something that made him run straight back to Frank.

He knew that he had to get to the father before he did something that he would regret.

Giving Him The News

Nemo went straight back to Frank. He was invited in, and the two men sat in the living room staring across at each other.

“So, did you find out anything?” the father asked in a nervous tone.

The detective reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the juice bottle. He put it on the counter and said, “I know where she’s getting it, Frank.”

Everything Unfolded

Nemo told his friend that his suspicions were right. It was Vivian who was giving the “special juice” to his daughter.

But it was more complicated than the father thought.

“I also found out what it actually is. I saw her picking it out of the aisle.” The father was ready to hear exactly what the truth was, even if he wasn’t prepared.

Not Juice

“It’s not juice, but you already knew that. It’s something else entirely. But I can tell you now that it isn’t alcohol either, despite the taste. It’s a supplement from the store.”

Frank looked more confused now than ever.

What kind of supplement was she giving Jenny? But Nemo had the answer to that as well.

Fermented

“It’s fermented vitamin B. That’s why you mistook it for alcohol. Some people think that the vitamin is more effective when it’s been fermented,” the investigator said.

Frank thanked him for his help. He was still shocked at what he had found.

He walked him out of the house and waited for his daughter and mother-in-law to return. He had to confront her.

All Ends Well

Once Vivian got home, Frank asked to speak to her in private.

He told her that he knew that she was giving his daughter supplements without his permission. The woman apologized and said that she just wanted to help out.

Frank understood where she was coming from and told her that she could help out in other ways. Even if they didn’t always see eye-to-eye, everything ended well, and his suspicions were put to rest.
