"What? You're acting weird. Is something up?"
Kyle looked at Zoey with a strange look. She was acting rather strangely. Suddenly asking about Seth's illness. In fact...
"How do you even know about Seth's illness? He doesn't usually share it."
"....!?"
Zoey nearly flinched upon hearing Kyle's question.
Seeing his eyes slowly starting to narrow, she quickly thought of something.
"Actually, I overheard him speak about it."
This wasn't a lie.
She had indeed overheard him speak about it.
"Oh...?"
Kyle raised his brow, curious about what Zoey had overheard.
"Well, so..."
"So you're thinking about what happened in the past regarding what he said about your parents?"
"Ehm, yeah."
Zoey's shoulders slumped in defeat.
"That's exactly it."
This wasn't necessarily wrong. This was indeed what had happened. The only difference was that what she had overheard and what Kyle was talking about were two different things.
