No one mentioned a pregnancy test.
Twenty minutes later, Dr. Ortiz returned without the easy smile she had worn before.
“Mrs. Morgan, may I speak with you privately?”
“You can talk in front of Daniel.”
Her gaze moved toward my husband.
“I need to examine Sophie alone first.”
Daniel immediately stood.
“Of course.”
He kissed the top of Sophie’s head, but she grabbed his hand.
“Don’t leave.”
“I’ll be right outside, bug.”
After the door closed, Dr. Ortiz pulled a chair beside Sophie’s bed.
“Sophie, I’m going to ask you some uncomfortable questions. You aren’t in trouble.”
Sophie looked at me.
“What kind of questions?”
“Has anyone ever touched you beneath your clothes?”
Her feet stopped swinging.
“No.”
“Has anyone asked you to keep a secret about touching?”
“No.”
My heart began pounding.
“Why are you asking her that?”
Dr. Ortiz turned the computer screen away from Sophie.
