" I told you , your heart's been weak for 18 years , but it hasn't gotten worse . You're definitely going to be okay . " Just hang in there a bit longer , and we might even find a better match for a heart donor . " My dad wrapped the quilt around Melissa , pride spreading across his face . " Missy truly is the family's lucky charm . Without her , you wouldn't have made it until the heart donor arrives in seven days . You should be thankful to her .
" My mom handed Melissa a sliced apple and shot me an annoyed look . " Unlike some jinx who caused a scene at the hospital over heart problems , embarrassing the Baughen family ! " Jettson glanced at me with my head down , and I saw a flicker of sympathy in his eyes . " That's enough ! Mom , Dad , let's drop it . " I suddenly looked up at him with hope shining in my eyes . But what he said next felt like ice - cold water pouring over me . He added . " Let's not let these little things get in the way of Missy getting better . " I let out a sarcastic laugh .

If she's in the master bedroom , it'll be easier for me to keep an eye on her from the next room . " I forced a numb smile at that . His favoritism for Melissa was totally obvious now .

" You can stay in the utility room instead . Do you really think some country bumpkin can suddenly become a big deal ? " I suggest you get real and pack your things quickly .
