"When the truck came at us, Big Sister turned the wheel!" She buried her face in Mom's chest, trembling like a frightened little animal. "She exposed the passenger side to the impact... Mom, I'm so scared."
Mom's face hardened instantly. "Your father and I are doctors. Do you think we can't tell who is injured more severely?"
"Causing a car accident and wasting medical resources—you are becoming impossible, Michelle."
Dad's face was a mask of disappointment. He joined Mom, and together, they flanked Grace, each holding one of her hands.
"Why are you still hanging around the hospital?" Dad barked. "Go home!"
Every muscle screamed as I struggled off the hospital bed. By the time I reached the billing hall, Dad's voice drifted over from a distance.
"You take Grace home first. I'll take Michelle for a detailed check-up."
A spark of hope ignited in my chest.
But the next moment, Mom's words plunged me into an icy abyss.
"She used a revival. Does she need an exam?" A scoff. "You know how it works. After a System revival, she heals instantly, no matter how bad the injury."
