I did not know how long I sat there crying before finally remembering the document. Victor had thrown at me. I read every page, hesitating at the very end.
The report said the doctor had discovered a putation in my uterus in the final prenatal checkup before the miscarriage. It was because of the choriocarcinoma that I lost my baby.
The doctor had recommended a hysterectomy as the fastest and safest treatment
method.
Every page had the doctor’s stamp and receipts for the surgery.
I did not know if Victor came up with this himself, or if he had someone falsify it. Perhaps it was Rachel who colluded with the doctor to trick Victor, and he bought it whole.
The more I thought, the more my head hurt I rubbed it restlessly, trying to figure out the truth.
Silas took the report from my hands and tossed it into his room. “I’ll get to the bottom of this for you. You should just get some rest for now. It’s all in the past now, so fussing over it won’t change anything.”
He was right. My baby was never coming back to life.
I kept running away from that fact. Sometimes I did not even dare to stop and look at the children playing in the park.
I once considered adoption, but then I gave up on that idea. As I was now, I did not think I could be a good mother. I did not want my child to grow up hating and resenting me.
I wanted to give them pure, unconditional love.
I rested for two days at home, and Silas stayed out for two days.
If I did not find small notes around the house every day, I would have suspected he went to pick a fight with Victor.
I knew he was giving me some space. He thought I was still considering if I should meet with Victor again.
