Chapter 6 — Lily Finally Speaks

For weeks, Lily had barely spoken.

The doctors thought she was traumatized.

But they didn’t know why.

That night, I sat beside her bed.

“Sweetheart, tell Mommy what happened.”

She looked down.

Then whispered:

“Daddy said you weren’t coming back.”

My heart broke.

“He said Vanessa would be my new mommy.”

I held her hand.

“Did he hurt you?”

She became silent.

Then nodded.

“He said I had to listen.”

I promised her:

“No one will ever make you afraid again.”
