Now her name was appearing in evidence connected to my poisoning.

Evelyn arrived that afternoon.
She entered carrying a bouquet of white roses.
“Darling,” she said softly. “I’ve been so worried.”
She placed the flowers beside my bed.
Then she noticed Samuel.

Her expression changed.
“Samuel. What are you doing here?”
“Protecting my client.”
Evelyn smiled.
“Of course.”
She approached my bed.
“How are you feeling?”
I focused on the communication screen.
SICK.
She glanced at the letters.
“Poor thing.”
Samuel placed the financial records on the table.
“Would you like to explain these transfers?”
Evelyn looked down.
For a moment, her expression was unreadable.
Then she laughed.
“This is absurd.”
“Your name appears on several accounts connected to David Mercer.”
“I was helping with a private investment.”

“An investment that involved fraudulent medical documents?”
Her smile disappeared.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Samuel showed her the payment records.
