Zane went still.
"Where?"
Catherine's voice trembled.
"At the old Millbrook hospital."
My stomach tightened.
"And?"
She began crying.
"He asked to speak with Mara."
I stared at her.
"Why?"
Catherine swallowed.
Then whispered:
"Because he says the two babies weren't exchanged to protect Emily."
A terrible silence filled the room.
I gripped the photograph.
"Then why?"
Catherine looked directly at me.
And spoke the words that made every part of me turn cold.
"Because the night you gave birth, the hospital records showed three newborn girls."
I stopped breathing.
Three?
Emily.
Julia.
And someone else?
Zane covered his face.
Then Catherine continued.
"Voss says one baby was sent home with you. One went to Catherine Hale."
Her voice broke.
"And the third..."
I could barely speak.
"What happened to the third?"
Before she could answer, my phone vibrated.
An unknown number.
A photograph appeared.
It showed a woman standing outside the old Millbrook hospital.
