With his encouraging gaze following me, I walked out.
My phone suddenly buzzed.
It was a message from the group chat.
【Robert: You’ve gotten bold, Sarah Miller? Now you’re forging medical records?】
【Linda: Don’t think this will make us soften. If anything happens to Emily, I’ll never forgive you!】
【Daniel: If you’re going to fake it, at least put in some effort. One piece of paper and you expect us to believe it?】
In response, I sent the video that Dr. Wilson had just recorded.
The group chat once again went silent.
I lifted my head and looked at the sky. The autumn sun was still blindingly bright.
But no matter how bright, it gave no warmth at all.
Just like my so-called family.
They always claimed to be my real family, but they never gave me love or warmth.
【Snow: I know you all want me dead, so I won’t be seeking treatment.】
【Snow: Just pretend I was never your daughter.】
My eyes burned with pain as I hit send.
Ding.
A new message came through seconds later.
【Emily: Sister, please don’t throw a tantrum… Mom, Dad, and Daniel really are worried about you.】
【Emily: You’re right—it’s me who stole your family. I’m the one who deserves to die.】
【Emily: I’m sorry… I’ll give them all back to you.】
