How Chapter 7 Saved My Life Novels & Stories

Looking at the bin stuffed with bloody tissues, I lowered my gaze and sported a wry smile. When I first found out it was late-stage stomach cancer, I really did think about just giving up. But when death felt so close, I started clinging to life real fast. In particular, after being locked up by Teresa and losing my freedom, my will to stay alive just kept getting stronger. I hadn't even hit my 35th birthday yet, and I already had the evidence to throw Keaton in jail. I had finally gotten my revenge, and there was still so much of the world I hadn't seen. I wasn't done yet.

My legs trembled, and tears welled up in my eyes, "I was six when my parents died in a car accident..." Then, with a heavy heart, I told her the haunting chapters of my past.

Slipped into a mild eating disorder without even realizing. It wasn't until I came to Inglane that I started healing. Started looking—and feeling—like myself again.

When I was seven years old, I had once suffered from a 104-degree fever, but Mom wanted to skimp on the 100 dollars it would have cost to bring me to a clinic so that she could save the money for lottery tickets. Instead, she forced me to eat two-day-old chicken noodle soup that had already gone bad. I'd nearly become mentally impaired after that fever and had to spend two weeks bedridden. I never wore a new piece of clothing in my teenage years either, wearing only hand-me-downs from my sister, Andrea Fletcher.

I didn’t need anyone to save me. Maybe I just needed to do what I had only thought about fleetingly since I realised what my life was about.
