Chapter 3 - The Medical Records
Grandpa opened the envelope.
Inside were certified medical documents.
Emergency room reports.
Photographs.
Doctor's notes.
Every bruise on Emily's body had been documented.
Emily stared in disbelief.
"I never went to a hospital."
Grandpa looked at her gently.
"You were asleep."
Miranda's breathing quickened.
"You drugged her?"
"No."
"I carried her after every beating."
Emily's entire body froze.
Grandpa continued.
"The doctors documented everything."
"But why didn't they report it?"
"They did."
Miranda interrupted.
"I had friends."
The room fell silent.
She had just admitted someone protected her.
Then another page slipped onto the floor.
A DNA report.
Emily picked it up.
Her hands began shaking.
The man listed as her biological father...
