Parental anxiety
Our parents shared my growing concern, unable to understand why Eliza was acting so strangely. “She’s just scared,” Mom would say, though Dad seemed just as puzzled. “Maybe it’s the stress,” he suggested. We were all on edge, our worries feeding off one another. But despite their efforts to help, Mom and Dad had no more answers than I did. The mystery behind Eliza’s behavior lingered, casting a shadow over all of us.

Determined to uncover what was really going on, I began watching Eliza more closely. It wasn’t just her silence that stood out—it was the way she interacted with others. She’d stiffen when a certain nurse entered the room, and her eyes would dart nervously whenever she received a particular phone call. Each small, suspicious behavior only fueled my growing curiosity. Something was off, and it was time to dig deeper.
