Timothy strode toward Luna, his stare penetrating. "Tell me, what brings you here?"

Nervously, Luna stuttered, "I-I heard Mrs. Barrett Senior had woken up, so I came to check on her."

"Is that so? Are you sure your intention wasn't to disconnect Grandma's ventilator?" Timothy's accusation cut through the air.

"N-No, when I arrived, the ventilator had already been removed by someone else. You have to believe me."

Despite Luna's protests, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Why was Timothy so composed and unaffected by the situation?

It was all a meticulously planned ruse.

The realization hit Luna like a thunderbolt, her gaze fixed on Timothy with disbelief. "So, you knew I was coming to the hospital all along?"
