The Diagnosis That Changed Everything
My sister‑in‑law, Kathy Bennet, rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "You're really rich, huh? Unlike me—I still haven't scraped together Zac's tutoring fees."
I pretended not to hear the implication. "Nothing matters more than health. Honestly, our whole family should get checked."
I knew my body better than anyone. I wasn't sick at all. The checkup was just a pretext—something to mislead them.
Zac's condition could be discovered at any time. As long as I stayed in this house, I risked repeating the same fate as in my last life.
This time, I had to get far, far away. Far enough that none of them could ever find me.
