Ethan's Regret

From childhood, Lydia was forced to serve as a living blood bank for her sister, enduring cruelty from her family and the ultimate betrayal from Ethan, the boy she believed was her sanctuary. Rather than be broken by their abuse, she channeled her pain into an unbreakable will. Years later, she doesn't just rise; she soars, becoming the youngest astronaut in U.S. history. As she claims her place among the stars—a realm of dignity and freedom they can never touch—she leaves her parasitic family and a remorseful Ethan behind on Earth, forever burdened with the bitter realization of the brilliant light they extinguished and the love they lost too late.
