Chapter 4: The Woman Who Started the Cover-Up
Everyone thought Beatrice was only protecting her family.
They were wrong.
She was protecting herself.
Sophie discovered Beatrice had personally approved payments to doctors who signed false reports.
She had pressured families into accepting settlements.
She had convinced grieving parents that their children died naturally.
When Adam confronted his mother, she finally broke.

His voice was cold.
“You were protecting yourself.”

“If something happens to me… they already knew.”
Adam collapsed emotionally.
