Chapter 28

• Jessica's POV
• Blood splattered across the bathroom tiles as another violent coughing fit seized my lungs. I gripped the sink's edge, waiting for the spasm to pass. When I finally looked up at my reflection, my lips were stained.
• The illness was accelerating faster than I had anticipated. The doctor had given me six months, maybe a year if I was lucky. But based on what I was experiencing now, it seems time was not on my side. This meant that I would need to accelerate my timeline.
