Bab 56: Chapter 55

If dad noticed any regression with his recovery he didn't say anything. Having things go so well, and then they were back to the part he started keeping things and hating himself. He might be blaming himself due to the conversation they had a few days ago. Too bad he didn't know what the truth was, and double bad because Matthew wasn't going to assuage his fears. So they'd be back to how they were a month ago. Maybe more.

Even if he wanted to tell him, what would he say? The woman that left me for dead in that motel you found me is back again. She's threatening to out me if I don't comply. Imagine bringing his parents into this to fight for him. He could still feel shame and it was already a shameful thing that they already knew it.
