“And Mrs. Whitmore agrees with that?”
Silence.
Ethan finally answered.
“She was barely conscious. She probably doesn’t remember.”
“I see.”
Another pause.
Then Rachel said the sentence that changed everything.
“That’s interesting.”
Margaret spoke first.
“What is?”
Rachel’s tone remained perfectly measured.
“Because the medical findings have raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the incident.”
Ethan didn’t answer.
Rachel continued.
“And hospital security has been asked to preserve all communications related to the patient’s admission.”
“What are you suggesting?” Ethan demanded.
“I’m not suggesting anything.”
I could almost imagine Rachel’s expression.
“I’m telling you that investigators will want a complete timeline.”
Margaret’s voice became sharper.
“This is ridiculous. It was an accident.”
“Then I’m sure the evidence will support your statement.”
Evidence.
One word.
That was all it took.
Ethan suddenly remembered the cameras.
I knew the exact moment it happened.
Because his voice changed.
“The kitchen camera doesn’t work.”
Rachel paused.
“I didn’t mention a kitchen camera.”
Silence.
