I closed my eyes.
My daughter was alive.
She was stable.
And the doctors had been able to save her ovary.
I thought that would be the end of the nightmare.
Then Dr. Raman asked a question.
“Did your husband tell you that Sadie had already been evaluated elsewhere?”
I looked at her.
“Yes. She told me about a clinic.”
The doctor’s expression became serious.
“She mentioned that the clinic recommended hospital evaluation. If those records are available, we’d like to review them. It may help us understand how long the mass had been present and what was communicated to the family.”
I nodded.
“I’ll get them.”
I didn’t yet know that Curtis had kept those records.
Or that they contained a signature that would change everything.

Curtis arrived shortly after the operation.
He walked into the waiting room carrying his phone and a set of car keys.
