Her eyes drifted to his wrist. That scarwas it from a car accident 

too?” 

Sean paused for a split second, then quickly pulled his hand back

He removed the empty IV bag from the stand. After a long pause, he answered, Yeah. Car accident.” 

He leaned one arm on the edge of the table, still facing away from her. Backlit by the window, his profile was blurred, unreadable

I’ve got one too. On my leg.Sadie said softly, lifting the hem of her skirt just a bit. Herelooks a lot like yours, doesn’t it?” 

Sean glanced over and immediately looked away. Her slender leg was pale, the scar on her thigh stark against her skin

But her skirt had risen a little too hightoo high for comfort

He turned his head and said flatly. Don’t go lifting your skirt in front of a man, kid.” 

But you’re a doctor,she said with innocent confusion

His throat tightened. Sure, but I’m still a man

Has no one taught her basic boundaries?‘ 

He changed the subject. That scar could’ve been treated. Why didn’t you have it removed?” 

Sadie’s expression shifted slightly. Her chest tightened with a familiar ache

Because Cordell Douglas once told her the scar was a reminder of their parents. He said when he had time, he’d help her remove it himself

And she had believed him

But later, he looked at her scar with disgust. Told her it was ugly. Said he’d never help her remove it

Told her she was the reason their parents died

Said that scar was her punishment. Her burden. That she should carry it forever

She had been devastated. And for a long time, she believed it. That guilt made her try even harder to please her brothers, to earn their approval

The memory hit her like a wave, knocking the air from her lungs

She couldn’t bring herself to explain any of that now, so instead, she deflected. What about you? Why didn’t you get yours treated?” 

I’m a guyit doesn’t matter. But for a girl, it’s better to have it removed.” 

Sadie forced a smile. Maybe someday.” 

Seeing that she had gone quiet again, Sean didn’t press further. He simply sat beside her and turned on the TV

Sadie looked up at the screenand blinked

It was a livestream of an esports tournament

Her sixth brother, Rhett, was currently competing

So that was why he hadn’t shown up to Lorena’s partyhe was here, in

this match

But just like in her previous life, he lost to the young heir of the Francis family from Arcpus

She remembered how, after that loss, Rhett was publicly mocked by the opponent

When he got home, humiliated and furious, he pulled the whole family into forming their own esports team

Jeremy, Malik, Brent, Rhettand her

They failed in the prelimsbut there was still the wildcard round

Thanks to the wildcard round, their team had staged a remarkable comeback. They clawed their way through the ranks until, in the national finals, they once again faced the young heir of the Francis family from Arcpus

Back then, Sadie devoted nearly every waking hour to training. She analyzed hours of gameplay footage, memorized the tendencies and tactics of the opposing teamall so she could help secure victory

Lorena wasn’t in the lineup

She lacked natural talent and was only ever a benchwarmer, never actually allowed onstage

That suited Sadie just fine

She loved playing with her brothers, just the familyno outsiders interrupting their bond. In that space, she felt like she truly belonged

She cared about the competition so much, she even let her exam prep fall behind
