We had almost reached the parking lot when I heard someone running behind us.
“Mrs. Carter!”
I turned.
It was Sophie’s nurse.
She was holding a folded document and looking directly at me.
“Please don’t leave yet.”
My heart dropped.
“Is Sophie okay?”
“She’s fine. But there’s something you need to know.”
Daniel suddenly went pale.
The nurse looked at him, then back at me.
“Mrs. Carter… you need to know what your husband asked us to do after you signed those papers.”
I looked at Daniel, and for the first time I realized that he had been hiding something from me.
Something the nurse believed I needed to know before I left my daughter behind forever.
I couldn’t fit the rest of Sophie’s story here. In the first comment, I shared what the nurse told me, what Daniel had done behind my back, and what happened when I realized I might still have time to turn around and run back to my daughter. Read the continuation below
