Racheal felt like she was in a trance as she looked towards the door and saw a woman who looked exactly like her. The same features, and a rare shade of blond hair. The woman stopped halfway to the bed and began sobbing.Racheal just stared, her body frozen, her brain on a sudden leave, as she watched the woman. This was Iris, Iris Rana. She did not seem to have aged a day. Her face was still like the one she had in her memory from when she was a little girl.But she still did not want to believe it. Even her brain refused to process the information.Her mother was dead. Had been dead for years now.“Racheal,” Leo called, the smile in his voice was gone, it had been replaced with worry.She continued to stare at the woman, familiar but a stranger. A stunning stranger who looked exactly like her, or was it the other way around?“Malysh.” Baby The woman said, finally able to speak up through all her tears. That word transported Racheal back to all those years ago when her mother

01:00 pm08-09-2021Capital hospital, YinRacheal lay quietly, weakly, trying to recover from the last chemo session she had. She was in the best ward, and her mother had hired an interior decor team to change the whole ward.She remembered one time that Jade had said that the Sherrods were rich-rich, and the other families were nowhere close to their wealth. She had finally met someone richer than the Sherrods, her mother.She feared a little that the money might just be illegal. She did not dwell on those thoughts though. Her mother was a good and just person above all else. She seemed fiercer than she remembered, at least towards other people, but she understood that the suffering she had to go through all alone had changed her.As she watched her mother quietly take a call near the door, she wondered if she too would change, or have changed after all she had to go through.Her mother turned around with a broad smile on her face.“Malysh. It’s done.” She walked towards her. “Y

03:45 pm10-10-2021Capital hospital, YinRacheal inhaled deeply as Leo wheeled her out into the open air and sunlight. She looked up, the sun was bright, but warm on the skin.“How are you feeling?” Leo stopped the wheelchair, and came to stand in front of her. He had taken a long leave at her mother’s request so he could concentrate all his time on just her.She was surprised he accepted. Although her mother was paying two times what he usually earned, she knew how important his work was to him. To leave all those patients, and devote all his time to just her. It was just shocking.“Warm.” She smiled as she touched her clean-shaven scalp.“You seem to like being bald. You do not stop touching your head.” Leo said, smiling as he took a seat on the bench beside her.“I do not exactly like it.” She responded. She often missed her gorgeous hair. “But the skin feels nice to touch.” He nodded, watching her.“So should I continue with the book we stopped yesterday, or the day before?”

04:00 pm 10-12-2021Quagmire, Shelton city, YinHe got out of the taxi dressed in a cheap hoodie and slacks. He kept his head down, and walked casually in the alley like he was one of the people who lived there. After the discussion he had with his father earlier today, he was desperate to hurry things up and bring Spencer Sherrod down before he could hurt the little woman.If that was the last thing he could do for her before he left Yin, he would be able to live a little better with his conscience. He could not help the pull he felt to come back to this place. This place, Jordan Leroy, had died.He remembered that night they had combed the whole area, looking for the man, and then searching for clues after finding his body. They had searched and searched and found nothing, so he did not know why he was back here, or what he hoped to find after over six months. He walked down the alleys two times over, staring at faces, the floor, and even went up to the apartment Jordan had be

“This may be the first step towards finding the truth you want so much,” Leo said.Racheal sighed, and relaxed back on the couch.Huddling under the blanket, she began to speak. “I had been on medication for what I thought was a headache after the event with Alvaro.” She said. She smiled sadly thinking about how no one had suspected she might be seriously ill even then.“That afternoon, Steffan and I went to go see the other members of the Sherrod family because Spencer said he had an important announcement.” As she spoke, she felt her brain reaching for something, but she did not know what it was and could not quite reach it.“This important announcement was that he was moving the date of his annual leave, and he wanted all of us to go as a family. Steffan said we would not be joining them, and the meeting ended in a fight.” She said.All the other three in the room were watching her quietly. She thought about how things would have been different if her mother was home. She would
