Grandfather's secret

It was a dreary day in London. The life-less clouds poured tiny droplets of misery on the already deserted streets as a young girl was making her way home from school. Her hair was soaking wet and her clothes as damp as the Pacific Ocean, 'I'm definitely going to get a cold' she thought. As she crossed the empty street, she gazed fondly at her novelty watch that her grandfather gave her on her 5th birthday. It was given to her after she had a life-saving operation 10 years ago as she almost died from pneumonia.
