Marcus had been part of Lily's life for six years.
He helped her with homework, took her to school, attended each of her recitals and always told me that she loved her as if she were her own daughter.
I was completely confident in him.
But that night, every time she mentioned her name, Lily was strangely quiet.
“Did something happen in the cabin?”
His eyes immediately filled with tears.
Then he whispered:
“Mom... please don’t ask me that.”
⚠️That's when fear took over me.
I took my keys and took her straight to the emergency room.
The doctor asked Lily several questions while I sat next to him, holding her hand.
He then gently pressed different parts of his abdomen.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
He stopped.
He pushed the same place again.
