When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 145

Chapter 145



Lying in the hospital bed with nothing but time, I often found myself flipping through my mom's old journal.

She had her fair share of suspicions. Like why did Galen Brown betray us? Why, after I left, did Galen's wife and daughter vanish too?

I left because of my illness, but what about them?

Given the close bond between our families, it would have made sense to leave together. Yet, Galen never even hinted at it, which was outright suspicious.

And there was the mysterious call Galen made to my dad before disappearing. No one knows what was discussed.

The driver involved in the accident that killed my dad was another puzzle. His family suddenly came into a large sum of money.

My mom tried to dig into it, finding out it was a donation from a charity. Nothing seemed off on the surface, but why specifically to his family among so many others in need?

All these mysteries, and my mom couldn't pursue them any further when she fell ill.

The photos stuck in her journal showed happier times - our family and the Browns, all smiles. I remember Galen's daughter, Geneva, who'd be in high school by now. Where could they be?
