Chapter 5

Author: Year on Year
The moment I said those words, all those pairs of eyes darted toward the thin yet life-altering piece of paper in my hand.

Mrs. Lawson was the first to come back to her senses. She charged toward me and snatched that test report out of my hand. The instant she read about the possibility of an early-stage pregnancy, all color drained from her face.

"That's… That's impossible…"

Her lips trembled, and that youthful face of hers twisted instantly, as if she had just read the most terrifying wor

    After saying that, I turned around and strutted out of that suffocating room, not sparing Mrs. Lawson another glance. The hospital's main exit was at the end of the corridor. The morning sunlight shone through the doors, bringing with it illumination, warmth, and a fullness of hope. I took a deep breath and walked out into the light. Behind me were the ruins of others, a scene of total disaster. Meanwhile, my future was bright. Naturally, what followed was a chaotic mess. The police soon located Zane, Timothy, and Howard. They were not together, though. Instead, they were, respectively, hiding in an apartment sourced by Stella, in a recovery room in that underground clubhouse, and in a house rented by Harvey. I spotted them from afar when they were brought back to college. When Zane saw me, his gaze was shifty. He was too afraid to meet my eyes. As for Timothy, he had huge sunglasses and a face mask on. Even though he covered himself up as much as possible, I could still see

    "That's impossible!" Mrs. Bass screamed. "Injections and surgeries like these come with extremely high risks. No one at legitimate hospitals would ever dare to perform these procedures. We have put this clubhouse under surveillance and found that it is just a front. In truth, it operates at an extremely hidden underground studio. "The reason why Timothy is also out of contact is because he is recovering after his procedures there, so he's unable to contact anyone else." For Timothy's parents, this came like a bolt from the blue. They were rooted to the spot from the shock. Timothy was their son who pursued a perfectly muscular body. He was their son whom they were so proud of. They couldn't believe that he actually underwent such illegal procedures without their knowledge. What he did was akin to self-harm.What about Howard, then? Everyone's attention then turned to Howard's ordinary-looking parents. The officer let out a sigh. "Howard's case is the most complicated of them

    While Ms. Watts sounded exhausted, something about her voice sounded different, too. My chest tightened. Right away, I got dressed and hurried over to City General Hospital. I met with the police officers and my roommates' parents, who had not slept a wink, once again. This time, I met them in a small office at the hospital. They looked even worse than they did yesterday. The older police officer first gave me some reassurance. "Bradley, we have looked into the transactions made on your bank card and all your accounts on payment platforms. It's true that there was no record of any purchase of tickets to the New Year countdown celebration. "Based on this, we can clear you of any suspicion." I breathed a sigh of relief, the tension within me finally easing. I put forth a key question. "Who paid for the tickets, then?" I asked. "We looked into the organizer's payment account. The payment of 15 thousand dollars came from an unknown third-party bank account. We followed the lead

    Mr. Grant pulled out a plastic bag from a tight gap between the desk and the wall. Everyone's attention was, again, drawn toward the plastic bag that was now a crinkled mess from the way it was stuffed away. He then tipped the bag over, and a few empty medication boxes fell out from within. "These are vitamins, folic acid tablets…" he read each of the names out loud. Suddenly, his hands froze. He lifted one last, small box, squinting as he stared at it for a long while. Then, in a troubled tone, he read, "M-Mifepristone tablets?"At this moment, the air came to a standstill. Those with some medical knowledge would know what this was for."Isn't this a medication for terminating pregnancies?" Mrs. Bass screamed, her voice breaking.Mrs. Grant's knees went weak, and she slumped right to the floor. At this point, even Mrs. Lawson had stopped crying. She stared at the medicine box on the floor in disbelief, then looked toward Howard's parents with utter confusion in her eyes."Ho

She charged toward me and snatched that test report out of my hand. The instant she read about the possibility of an early-stage pregnancy, all color drained from her face. "That's… That's impossible…"Her lips trembled, and that youthful face of hers twisted instantly, as if she had just read the most terrifying words possible."This can't be real. It was forged! It was you, you bastard! You manufactured this to frame my dear Zane!"Once again, she charged at me like she had gone berserk. She came so close that her fingernails almost scratched my face."Mrs. Lawson!"This time, it was her own husband who pulled her back. He grabbed onto her, his expression as dark as hers. He snatched the test report from her, staring at every word printed on it. Then, he staggered slightly.The other parents leaned i

    My expression turned frigid. I was no longer trying to reason with them. As for Mrs. Bass, she went completely red in the face, stifled by my retort. Finally, one of the school administrators spoke up and put a stop to this chaos, "Alright, that's enough, all of you. The most important thing for us to do right now is to find the missing students, not fight among ourselves here!" Then, he turned toward Ms. Watts. "Ms. Watts, I want you to lead the parents in another thorough examination of the students' beds and personal belongings. See if the students left any clues behind."Bradley, I want you to go along with them. As someone who lives with them, you might be more familiar with their habits." In other words, they were going to perform a search on my roommates' belongings. Displeased, Mrs. Lawson refused instantly, asking, "Who gave you the right to go through my son's belongings? That is his privacy!" "He has already gone missing without a trace. Why are you still concerne
