"Chloe, what do you mean? What hospital? What did you do to her?"

Everyone turned to me.It seemed they genuinely believed I had harmed the old lady.I looked at Matthew.

"This is the attending physician, a specialist.If you have any questions, you can ask him.Your mother was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer."

The news shocked everyone as a collective gasp filled the room.

"What did you say?"

"What? Who...Liver cancer?"

"Chloe, you're creating trouble out of nothing.She was perfectly fine, and here you are, cursing her."

Melanie was relentlessly shouting at me.
