How is this even happening? I look back up at Sara, her expression unchanged. I look back down at the paper I'm reading.
Kingston Reina.
I'm almost terrified to keep reading past the initial diagnosis.
"Pathology report finds the benign mass located in his chest. Several different examinations were performed to confirm the mass can be safely removed without causing much harm or discomfort to the patient."
I let myself breathe out, knowing the mass can't do anything to my father. But that doesn't stop my curiosity. How could he have kept this from everyone? Maybe I don't deserve to know after being away for three years. But Mom? Vinny? What about those who have been beside him?
"This doesn't make any sense," I whisper into the pages.
"I'm sorry this is how you had to find out," Sara states, giving me a compassionate and kind look. "I wasn't expecting to see the information, either. It's not what I was looking for."
