"Really?" Ivan sat straighter.
"I was seriously ill when I was a little girl. I lost my ability to hear or talk after that. My grandpa was an amazing doctor. He healed my ears first. When I was 13, he also healed my throat. But a lot of things happened that year. Both my grandpa and mom passed away. I had to pretend to be silent in that house. Because if I didn't, my sister and my stepmother would treat me as a threat… Mr. Hendrix, I didn't mean to lie to you."
"Then, was Stacy a silent girl as well?"
Megan frowned. Of course she was not. She had been quite talkative growing up. She even had had a dream to become a singer, singing off-tone pop songs in the house all day.
Megan didn't say anything as she lowered her gaze. Ivan was getting a bit impatient, "I'm asking you now."
