I LOST MY BABY IN THE DELIVERY ROOM—BUT YEARS LATER, MY SON SAW A BOY WHO LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE HIM… AND THE TRUTH WAS MORE TERRIFYING THAN I EVER IMAGINED

The nurse.

The one who had steadied my hand while I signed those papers.

“Have we met?” I asked slowly.

“I don’t think so,” she replied, but her eyes shifted.

I mentioned the hospital where I had delivered my twins.

“I used to work there, yes,” she admitted.

“You were there when I delivered my twins.”

“I meet a lot of patients.”
