Chapter 13 - Maya’s injuries

At the hospital, Maya’s burns were treated.

Painful.

Serious enough to require follow-up.

Not expected to cause major permanent impairment.

Chloe’s hands showed:

Redness.

Minor superficial irritation.

No lasting burns.

The doctor asked Chloe:

“How did your hands get hot?”

She said:

“Grandma said dishes.”

Then:

“Mommy cried.”

I had to leave the room for a minute.

May you like

Not because I wanted revenge.

Because I did not trust myself to hear more calmly.
