While I was unconscious after giving birth, he had gone to her.
He told her both babies were alive.
One needed extra medical care.
Then he claimed I had made a request before things became dangerous.
According to him, I had asked that Beth raise one of the twins because I was worried Mark would be overwhelmed caring for two babies.
I stared at her.
“No.”
Beth started crying.
“I didn’t believe him at first.”
“No. I never said that.”
“He showed me a letter.”
“What letter?”
“One supposedly from you. Signed by you.”
My knees nearly gave out.
Beth explained that the letter said I trusted her to raise one of the boys.
Mark promised that once I recovered, everything would be explained.
“And you took him?”
Her face twisted.
“I took my nephew because I believed his mother was asking me to save him.”
Then everything became worse.
