Chapter 7

On the third day after the video was posted, a local reporter 

came to the hospital. I didn’t want to speak to anyone, so 

Megan turned the reporter away for me. 

But not everything could be kept at the door. 

Dr. Morgan came to see me. She was the doctor from the community health clinic who had visited our home for my postpartum follow–up. 

Unlike everyone else, she didn’t hesitate in the doorway. She walked straight to my bedside and sat down. 

“Evie, I’m Dr. Rachel Morgan. I visited you at home for a postpartum checkup. Do you remember me?”
