Chapter 202

Matthew and Lindey had always been so good to me—so good that even thinking about doubting them made me feel guilty.

But now, even Lena was starting to suspect something.

It felt like my heart was free-falling from the sky, crashing into a pit of panic I couldn't escape.

"I need to find out the truth."

The more uncertain things got, the more desperate I was to know. Not just for my dad, but to clear Matthew's name—if he was innocent.

Lena didn't say much, just gave me a small nod. "Whatever happens, I've got your back."

Her words hit me harder than I expected, like she already knew what I might uncover.

But I couldn't stop until I found the truth.

After leaving the ER, I stepped outside to catch a cab. To my surprise, Edward was still there. He stood a little ways off, clutching the meds he'd bought me, his phone glued to his ear.

"...Yeah, she accessed the car's display... said she was just looking for music..."

My entire body went cold, even with the sun beating down on me.
