Daniel stood outside the room.
He was not assigned to her case.
He was not permitted to treat her.
He watched through the glass as strangers fought to save the woman he had once expected to spend his life with.
Deputy Price handed him the envelope.
“We found this beside her hand.”
Daniel’s fingers trembled.
“Has anyone opened it?”
“No. It was addressed to you.”
He broke the seal.
Inside were six pages written in blue ink.
The first page began with his name.
Daniel,
If Lily reaches the hospital, then she has done something no child should ever have been asked to do.
I am sorry.
