Rebirth: I Choose Peace Over Pursuit
Your mom and I are feeling so much at ease now that you aren't bullying Meg anymore.
I stayed silent.
"Dad, Mom, you won't be feeling at ease for long. Megan can play the victim at home and win all your sympathy and favoritism, but out in the world, no one will be buying her act," I thought.
Suddenly, a metallic tang surged up my throat. Before I could swallow it back, I coughed violently, and bright red blood covered my palm.
"You must be suffering from an irritated throat. Here, have some water."
Mom quickly handed me a glass of water.
