The moment she learned the truth, Janet found it almost impossible to accept.
Ten years ago, it was Anila who had caused her injury. It was Harold who had sent her to the hospital. And everything that followed—her care, her release, her so-called "recovery"—had all been manipulated by Anila.
Janet had been gravely wounded. Yet even then, Anila had refused to treat her properly. Had she received the surgery back then, the bleeding in her brain could have been stopped. Her future could have been spared.
But no.
Now, a decade later, the untreated trauma had returned like a curse. A growing mass of blood was pressing against her brain. The only solution: emergency craniotomy. But it came with a cost—she would have to terminate the baby.
She couldn't. She simply couldn't.
Even if the surgery offered her a small chance to live… she couldn't sacrifice her child for it.
So she ran.
Even if it meant going blind.
Even if it meant wasting away in pain, day after day.
