"It all started about 10 years ago." Leo narrated.
"The whole family was happy until that moment. Well, not really happy– like happy, but we could manage. Then, during dinner one evening, I suddenly told the folks...
"I don't want to be a doctor."
The whole family stopped eating and looked at him while he gulped nervously. Now, there was no going back. He had to face whatever came his way head–on.
That day, he had been really terrified because they had all expected himself and his brother to become doctors since Chloe had made it clear from the beginning that she wasn't going to be one and it had been obvious in her grades where she always got lower grades in science subjects.
"Is that supposed to be a joke?" His mother asked first when she saw how tight Mr King's face was.
"I'm sorry, it isn't." He shook his head gently.
The atmosphere was so tensed that even a stranger would feel it in the air if they walked in right now.
