That the people I called family might not be who I thought they were?”Grand Miller didn’t flinch under Ryan’s glare. “Face the truth, Ryan. It’s the only way to move forward.”Mr. Bell nodded. "Ryan, this is the only way," he said softly. Ryan looked at his grandfather and Mr. Bell could see the energy draining from his body. He lay back in bed, staring at the ceiling, looking for the right words to explain his emotions but couldn’t find any, he looked exhausted like the weight of the world was on his shoulder."I don't know who I am anymore," he whispered. Margaret, who had been watching from the corner, stepped forward carefully. Her voice was soft but steady. “You’re Ryan,” she said. “Our son. Ryan turned to look at her, and his eyes sparkled with tears that he couldn't cry. He stared at her face, hoping to find some answers, but all he saw was his own sad

The hospital room was filled with a heavy tension. Ryan had just said something strong, and the room felt tense. He was breathing quickly, showing how upset he was. He felt overwhelmed with surprise, confusion, and anger. Margaret, who was nearby, looked very shaken. She took a small step forward, wanting to comfort Ryan, but then stopped. Ryan's eyes locked onto hers, and his stare was strong. He was warning her to stay back. "Don't." His voice was low, but clear.The single word was a clear command, and Margaret seemed to understand it. She stopped and didn't know what to do, and the room felt more and more tense.“I don’t want more riddles. I need the truth, not cryptic answers.”Grand Miller exhaled deeply, his expression weary. Mr. Bell put his hand on Ryan's shoulder to calm him down, but Ryan quickly pushed it away. Ryan's frustration was getting stronger, and he was getting angrier.“Enough, Grandfather!” Ryan snapped. “I’m not a child. Whatever it is you’re all hiding—I can

Ryan stared at Margaret, his chest rising and falling heavily, his heart racing in confusion and anger. asked Margaret again, "Who is your son?" His voice was loud and shaking. Margaret took a slow step forward. She opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't find the right words. Tears filled her eyes.Margaret finally spoke in a soft voice.

He tried to sit up, even though his body was hurt.Ryan looked at Margaret with confusion and anger. "What are you talking about?" he asked. His voice cracked. “Grandfather, what is she saying? Who are these people?”Grand Miller stepped forward, placing a steady hand on Ryan’s shoulder to ease him back down. “Ryan, calm down. You need to rest,” he said firmly, though his voice carried the weight of guilt.“Rest?” Ryan shot back,

Ryan looked around the room at Emma, Grand Miller, and some people he didn't know who were standing near the door.His voice was very rough, but he wanted an answer. "Who are they?" he asked again, looking closely at Emma. He was very tired and still trying to recover his strength, but he wanted to know who the strangers were.Emma moved a little closer to Ryan, gently holding his arm for comfort while she spoke softly. "Ryan, they're here to help you; they… they’re family.”“Family?” Ryan’s brow furrowed, his confusion deepening. He looked to Grand Miller, who stepped closer, his expression a mixture of guilt and caution.“Ryan, there’s a lot to explain,” Grand Miller said carefully. “But right now, you need to rest. You’ve been through so much.”Ryan wasn’t satisfied. “Rest? I’ve been asleep this whole time! Just tell me what’s going on.”Emma bit her lip,

The doctors had informed them that the transfusion procedure had begun. Time seemed to drag as they waited for news.Every beep of the monitor and every creak of the hospital floor made Emma’s heart leap as she watched the pouch of blood flow reduce drastically.

Emma whispered softly to herself, "I just want him to wake up.”Grand Miller paused his pacing and turned to her, his expression softening. “He will,” he said, though his voice wavered with uncertainty. “Ryan is a fighter.”Emma nodded, holding onto the doctor's words tightly. The door opened. The doctor came into the room. He was putting on his gloves as he walked in, after which
