A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Louis had really hurt her this time. It had already been challenging enough to get close to her because of disagreements here and there. Now, the situation had gotten even worse.

Taylor had always been well-known in the medical industry. Aside from the fact that she was naturally good at what she did, people testified time and time again about how serious and responsible she was. Sometimes, people joked about how, if a person got in the way of Taylor's job, they were as good as banished.

At the thought of this, Louis was reminded that he should not make rash decisions. Moreover, it was his brother, whom he cared about very much, lying on the bed. No matter how much this whole thing with Taylor bothered him, he had no choice but to put these thoughts aside for now.

Scott, who was receiving treatment, had no idea that for a few minutes, such a thing had happened in that very room. While it was happening, he was immersed in his own memories.

He still remembered feeling sad when the frame holding the family photo shattered into pieces.

"Fortunately, the photo itself is still intact. We can just clean this up and buy a new picture frame. Let's say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and wish our family good health and safety!" His parents didn't blame him. His mother even pulled him back toward the dining table and said, "We know you're hungry. Dinner's going to be ready soon."

His father smiled as he cleaned up. "Our son is still growing. If you're hungry, you can start without me."

Just like that, the issue with the family photo had become a thing of the past. It had already been forgotten. The family sat at the table, talking and laughing heartily. What had happened next? What on earth had happened next?

Scott could not remember.

"Later that evening, someone knocked at the door. At first, your parents didn't think much of it. They thought it was an old neighbor dropping by for a visit, so they opened the door. You were in your room. From there, you could hear a man's voice. You cracked open the door so that you could sneak a peek. Did you see his face clearly? Do you still remember what he looks like?"

Even though Taylor had been speaking softly, Louis clenched his fists.

The two exchanged nervous glances. They held their breath as they watched Scott.
