Chapter 5 - Ellie’s injuries

The yacht returned to shore.

Ellie was examined at a pediatric urgent-care center.

Result:

Bruised elbow.

Scraped palm.

Minor soreness in one hip.

No fracture.

No head injury.

No serious physical harm.

Sabine had shoved her onto artificial turf, not down stairs or overboard.

Still unacceptable.

But accuracy mattered.

Sabine also received medical treatment.

My slap had caused:

Facial bruising.

A split lip.

No fracture.

When she struck the drinks table, several glasses fell.

One shallow cut on her forearm.

No serious injury.

Police reviewed both incidents.

Good.

If I wanted Sabine held accountable for putting hands on my daughter, I could not decide my own hands existed outside law.
