My parents exploded with anger. “Apologize no
or get the hell out of this hospital! I won’t waste money on treating someone so vile!”
I looked at them calmly and smiled. “First of all, you’re the one who broke my leg. If you’re not paying for my treatment, I’m calling the police.
“Secondly, instead of being so fixated on me apologizing, why don’t you focus on getting her to apologize to the families of the kids she killed? Or do you think no one will ever learn the truth of what happened?”
My parents looked panicked.
Jared looked confused. “What are you talking about?”
“You summoned me there to tell those families the truth, didn’t you? So that’s exactly what I did. Don’t tell me you forgot who actually brought those minors hiking.”
I looked away coldly. I was right. They had brainwashed themselves to the point of forgetting the truth.
They did not have to worry. I would help them recall what truly happened.
