His face turned white.
“Mom… do you recognize this man?”
“No.”
He sank to the floor and began crying.
“I DO.”
It turned out that the man in the photograph was the very same doctor Daniel had worked with years earlier.
And five years ago, that doctor had told Daniel that an important medical document concerning our family existed, but that it couldn’t yet be revealed.
Daniel hadn’t believed him.

I spent the following week in the hospital.
Several specialists examined me.
Finally, the chief physician asked all my family members to come.
I was sitting in my hospital room when he entered, carrying a thick folder.
“Mrs. Margaret, we have the final results.”
My heart was beating so fast I could barely breathe.
“Am I really expecting a baby?”
The doctor paused.
“Your initial examination led to a misunderstanding. The pregnancy has not been confirmed.”
