Chapter 38: Exploited

The bone-weary girl was none other than Tyler's sister!

"Tracy!" he exclaimed, rushing towards her in alarm. The girl raised her eyes in recognition of his voice but stumbled on a rock and fell.

Tyler reached just in time to catch her weightless body. She looked up at his face and smiled bitterly. "Ty… Are you really here..? Or am I dreaming…?“

Tyler could smell alcohol on her breath. She was wasted and could barely speak.

"I'm here, Tracy… Everything is going to be alright."

"Uncle! I'll give you a minute to explain yourself! No more lies!"
