Cathy insisted that the bruises were nothing serious. “Michael, I’m just being clumsy,” she said with a soft laugh, trying to brush off the situation. “I’m getting older, a little forgetful, that’s all.” Though she tried to sound reassuring, her words didn’t sit well with him. Michael nodded out of respect, but he couldn’t hide the concern on his face.

He gently replied, “Mom, I don’t want to see you get hurt again. We really need to figure out what’s going on.” Cathy tried to steer the conversation in another direction, but Michael’s thoughts remained focused. Deep down, he felt something wasn’t right—and he couldn’t ignore the feeling anymore.
