Dawn poured a cup of warm water, checked the temperature a few times, then held it to Micah’s lips.

Micah looked at her and didn’t move.

“Drink.”

Micah smiled and opened his mouth.

After two small sips, he shook his head. “I’m good.”

Dawn glanced at his lips. She didn’t argue and turned around, setting the cup on the table.

“Dawn.” A low, hoarse voice suddenly came from behind her. She froze, like she’d been pinned in place.

Micah’s Adam’s apple bobbed as his gaze dropped to her hand hanging at her side. He wanted to take it, but she was too far away, so he gave up.

A trace of self–mockery crossed his lips. “All these years… you’ve had it rough.”

A haze clouded Dawn’s eyes, tugging at every nerve.

“I’m fine.”

After several seconds, she steadied herself and turned back.

“Micah … since you knew who we were to each other, you should’ve told me sooner.”

“You sure if I’d told you back then, you wouldn’t have called the cops and reported me as a creep?”

Dawn paused.

Kid’s got a mouth on him.

“Besides, you didn’t even know I existed. Why would I force my way into your life?” Micah’s voice was light, weak from being sick. “If I hadn’t seen you investigating Mom’s case and eventually tracking it all the way to me, I wouldn’t have said anything.”

Dawn had suspected it three years ago. But just like he said, the doubt hadn’t lasted long.

She’d grown up by Vera’s side. How could she have a younger brother she knew nothing about?

“1…”

Dawn whispered, “I’m sorry.”

If I had been more alert sooner, or dug deeper earlier, we could’ve found each other long ago.

“There’s nothing to apologize for. I’m doing fine. Andy’s been good to me, too.”

Micah suddenly frowned and looked at her. “Can you sit down? It’s exhausting craning my neck to talk to you.”

Dawn was speechless.

She clenched her hand, then let go.

She really wasn’t as calm as she’d imagined. From the moment Micah woke up, guilt and memories had rushed her all at once, like they were about to burst her head open.

She let out a deep breath, pulled over a chair, and sat down.

Micah gave her a look that said, That’s better.

“Where did Andy go?”

“He left.”

Mentioning that man put Dawn in a sour mood. She said flatly, “You’ll live with me from now

on.”

“Live with you?” Micah scoffed. “What, sleep between you and Ethan?”

She paused before saying, “Watch your mouth.”

“Fine, fine.”

Micah rolled his eyes, but his tone was serious. “I’m not a kid. I have my own life. Why do I have to get dragged into your

your mess?”

Dawn thought it over. Fair point.

“Then we’ll talk about it after you’re discharged.”

They both wordlessly skipped the topic, and things between them grew more natural.

When they talked about last night, Micah frowned. “Was ther car? Why did it suddenly rush at someone like that?”

He knew that no matter how much Dawn hated Andy, she’d never run him down with a car.

“Someone messed with the brakes.”

Dawn shook her head. “I don’t know how. The police are still investigating.”

“How long were you sitting there before I arrived? Did you see anyone else?”

She’d driven out from home.

The house had security cameras, and the neighborhood security was solid.

If someone was setting her up, they

that you mention it … I think there was someone.”

Being stared at like that made Micah uneasy. But he couldn’t move anyway, so he could only lean his neck back a little. “Why are you looking at me like that? I only saw a person. I didn’t see him mess with your brakes.”

Dawn shook her head and gave a bitter smile. “I just feel like there’s this huge net spread all around us. Someone knows everything we do, and we’re stuck inside it, unable to move.”

The sunlight outside was bright. Specks of light fell into Micah’s eyes, half–hiding the emotion there, leaving only a trace of pain.

He finally managed to take Dawn’s hand and said hoarsely, “I’ll protect you. I swear.”

“You? That’s not very reassuring.”

Dawn pinched his hand. She didn’t like that overly serious tone at all.

She lowered her voice. “I’ll do my best. I already owe you too much.”

Micah hesitated before calling out, “Dawn.”

He tried to hold back, but he failed.

He said, “We were born, what, ten or twenty minutes apart? Can you stop acting like you suddenly jumped a whole generation?”

Dawn smacked him on the head. “I’m still your sister.”

After a few more rounds of bickering, she called the police and explained everything.

Micah had asked her to meet late. The coffee shop was already closed. If someone had shown up, that alone would’ve been suspicious, and it might lead them to something.

That night, Dawn ordered takeout. Once he was awake, the pressure on her eased a lot, and

her appetite was Singly good.
