"If you had only agreed to the surgery earlier, I would never have dropped everything to come back. Liam and the others wouldn't be dead!" Maxwell's words struck Charmaine like a barrage of sharp stones, each one hitting with brutal force and stealing her breath away.

"Wh-what? I didn't know..." she stammered, her voice quivering as panic seized her chest.
