“Can I help?” I asked.
She glanced at me. “Hold this.”
She handed me a tiny sock.
It was absurd how carefully I held it.
Dr. Kline noticed, but did not smile.
When the boys were dressed again, Megan asked the nurse to take them for a weight recheck. The nurse hesitated, but Megan nodded. Once the door closed, Dr. Kline’s expression changed.
“I wondered when you would come,” she said to me.
My pulse sharpened. “You know who I am?”
“I know who is listed on three birth certificates.”
“Then you know about Lily.”
Dr. Kline folded her hands on the file. “I know she was transferred out of Saint Agnes Medical Center at four days old. I also know the transfer documentation in Megan’s patient file was altered.”
Megan inhaled sharply. “You never told me that.”
“I couldn’t prove it before.” Dr. Kline looked apologetic. “I requested archived records last month. They arrived yesterday.”
