Chapter 8 - The Doctor Who Knew EverythingDr. Patel contacted me.
The doctor who had helped Margaret six years earlier.
He wanted to confess.
I flew to Florida.
He handed me a thick folder.
Inside were bank statements.
Emails.
Medical records.
Forged documents.
Payment records.
Everything.
“I've spent six years hating myself,” he said.
Then he explained why he had finally decided to talk.
His own daughter had died from leukemia.
He couldn't help Lily and Noah suffer because of his silence.
He signed a confession.
I called James.
“We have everything.”
For the first time, I thought we might actually win.
Then my flight was canceled.
A hurricane was approaching.
And while I was stranded in Florida, my phone rang.
It was Clara.
Her voice was hysterical.
“Emily…”
“What happened?”
“Margaret came back.”

My blood froze.
“She had a gun.”
