CHAPTER 9 — The Secret Behind That Night
Three years after Noah’s accident, Claire believed the worst part of her life was finally behind her.
She had rebuilt everything.
A new house.
A new routine.
A peaceful life with Noah.
But one evening, Claire received a phone call from St. Augustine Medical Center.
The voice on the other end was familiar.
Dr. Elena Marsh.
“Claire, there is something you need to know.”
Claire immediately felt nervous.
“What happened?”
The doctor was silent for a moment.
Then she said:
“I reviewed Noah’s case again.”
Claire tightened her grip on the phone.
“Why?”
“Because something bothered me.”
A pause.
“The delay was not only because of Daniel’s decision.”
Claire froze.
“What do you mean?”
Dr. Marsh lowered her voice.
“Someone changed the emergency priority information that night.”
Claire’s heart stopped.
“Someone changed it?”
“Yes.”
“The records show Lily’s paperwork was modified before Daniel arrived.”
Claire sat down slowly.
Because suddenly she understood.
Daniel had made a terrible choice.
