Seeing Dad stand up, Tara rose as well."Dr. Rivers, about the question you asked at the beginning, whether this was a pleasant surprise or a nasty shock. I can answer you now. I think it's a surprise."The misunderstanding between you two has been resolved. Julian didn't betray his family, and you didn't abandon him. You both loved each other in your own ways."And today isn't just your moment. Julian is up there with you on that stage. Together, you're both advancing leukemia research."Dad bowed deeply to Tara. "Thank you, Ms. Mitchell."Dad walked back onto the stage. This time his steps were steady, his posture resolute, as if carrying newfound strength.The symposium was a success. Dad's exceptional skills and detailed explanations left the medical scholars in the audience with much to take away. He received unanimous praise from the academic community.With Dad's consent, the moving story between us was released online the next day as a documentary. It brought widespread

Dad's face went pale. He gripped the microphone tightly, his voice strained."What... What is this? Is this body donor really my son Julian Rivers?"He stared at Tara, unable to believe what he'd just seen. Tara took a deep breath, her voice catching."Yes. The body in front of you is Julian's."The microphone slipped from Dad's hand and hit the floor with a piercing screech through the speakers. Everyone in the audience covered their ears.Dad stumbled toward the demonstration table. "How could it be Julian?"He looked at my withered face, his fingers trembling. The moment he lifted the white sheet covering my body and saw my exposed skin covered in needle marks and wounds of all sizes, his legs gave out, and he collapsed.Tara helped him back to his feet. He reached out to touch my face, tears streaming down his face."Julian, your dad's here. Can you open your eyes and look at me? The lasagna I made is still in the freezer, waiting for you to come home and eat it."Are you

Filming Log: March 27, 2025I spent over two weeks back in the hospital, and I could finally walk again. This time, the scene was at the beach."Julian, that joke wasn't funny at all! Do you know how scared we were? If you pull something like that again, you're not leaving the hospital!"Tara's voice came from off-camera, furious. I gave her an innocent look."I don't want people to feel sorry for me after I die, so I was trying to lighten the mood. Okay, I promise I won't do it again. Don't be mad."Tara let out an exasperated sigh. "Fine. Whatever you want."I grinned, collected myself, and turned back to the camera."Dad, I don't know if you'll ever get to see this video. But I want to tell you that I really did fight hard against the cancer. I wanted to wait until I was cured before telling you everything."But I can't be cured. The doctor said the cancer spread too fast. It's too late. I don't want to die at all. I'm scared of death. I'm scared I'll never see you again. I'

Filming Log: March 6, 2025The screen showed a piece of paper with writing on it."Julian's Bucket List: 1. Attend a Skylar Reese concert. 2. Plan my funeral. 3. See the ocean one last time."Tara's voice came from off-camera. "Julian, Skylar's from the older generation of stars. Why do you suddenly want to see his concert?""When I was a child, Mom would sing Skylar's songs to help me fall asleep. She said she never got to see him in concert, so I want to make that happen for her."I stuck several star stickers on the back of my hand and tucked Mom's photo in my pocket. Then I turned to urge Tara, who was copying me with the stickers."Tara, let's go. We're going to be late."The concert venue was packed and lively. I held Tara's hand with one of mine and waved a glow stick with the other, dancing to the music and singing loudly.From the camera's perspective, I didn't look like a cancer patient at all. A few times, I nearly lost my balance and had to lean on Tara's arm, gaspi

Filming Log: February 28, 2025"Tara, how does this outfit look?"I checked my appearance in the mirror over and over. "Handsome. Julian, you look great today."Tara took out a baseball cap and put it on me. "Let's go. The driver's already waiting at the hospital entrance."The scene shifted to a press conference. I wore a mask that only revealed my eyes. Standing in the crowd, I was completely inconspicuous.Meanwhile, Dad was on stage introducing their new research. After answering the professional questions, the host asked him, "Dr. Rivers, is there anything else you'd like to say?"Dad fell silent for a moment, his voice turning colder. "Julian, I know you'll see this news. I want to say that your mother has passed away. You don't need to keep hiding anymore. No one's going to pressure you now."Tara's hand trembled as she held my wrist. She looked at me with concern. "Julian, are you okay?"I wasn't as upset as she expected. "Tara, did you notice Dad looks a little heavi

Filming Log: December 12, 2024When I opened my eyes again, everything was blurry. I struggled to speak. "Am I dead? Is this heaven or hell?""Julian, you're finally awake." Tara's voice sounded beside me.I blinked a few times, and my vision slowly cleared. I was still lying in a hospital bed.I sighed in disappointment. "Tara, next time, don't save me. Death would be a release.""Stop talking nonsense. You're going to get better!"Tara gripped my hand tightly. Then she started pulling things out of her bag nonstop."This is a healing crystal pendant I got for you. This medallion is blessed for protection. These prayer beads are supposed to bring peace. And this is holy water from the church."I laughed and cut her off. "Tara, when did you become so superstitious?"She tied the crystal pendant around my neck. "Doesn't science eventually lead to the supernatural? Let's try harder together one more time, okay?"I turned to look out the window, trying to swallow the bitterness
