Chapter 10

• “Mum, are you okay?” Curtis asked, his voice laced with concern as he steadied his mother. His hands gripped her shoulders gently, but his gaze betrayed a deeper worry.
• “I’m fine,” she replied, her voice wavering slightly. But Curtis didn’t seem convinced. His hands lingered, his worry evident in the way he watched her.
• I could see the guilt flicker in his eyes. He loved his mother deeply, and for a fleeting moment, I could sense he regretted this…bringing me here, reopening old wounds that had never truly healed. Yet he knew it had to be done. He had to uncover the truth about his wife’s death, no matter the cost.
