After my brother and I were rushed into surgery from the same c:rash, my parents pointed at my bed and ordered, “Save him first. She’s always been expendable.” My mother even whispered, “Take whatever he needs from her.” They thought I was unconscious—but I heard everything. Then a mysterious woman stormed in, revealed I was the hospital owner’s missing daughter, and by sunrise, my parents were arrested, disinherited, and begging me for mercy.

The first thing I heard after the collision was my mother calculating whether I was still worth the investment of keeping alive. “Save Walker first,” she snapped from behind the …
