Chapter 3 - Lily was physically okay

I took Lily to her pediatrician.

No serious injury.

A red mark around one wrist.

Mild bruising where Marlene held her shoulder.

No head injury.

No fracture.

Emotionally?

Different story.

Lily kept asking:

“Why did Grandma put her hand on my mouth?”

I said:

“Because she wanted you to stop calling for me.”

“Why?”

“Because she was scared.”

“Of me?”

“No.”

“Then what?”

I looked at the document sitting inside a police evidence sleeve.

“The truth, I think.”
