“You killed his future!” Alistair yelled.
Katie’s face became very cold.
“It was just an accident,” she said. “We had to protect the hospital name. Thousands of people need our business.”
Alistair showed her an old notebook from her desk. On one page, she wrote Sawyer’s name and the words: “Case closed. Do not tell Alistair.”
“To you, my little boy was just a problem to hide,” Alistair said with disgust.
“Alistair, listen to me,” she said, using his childhood name. “I did it all for our family name.”
“Never call me that name again,” Alistair said.
The next morning, Alistair called a big meeting with the hospital board. He showed them the bank papers, the notes, and the real logbook. Katie walked in smiling, thinking her son would help her cover it up.
But when Alistair turned on the big screen, the first picture was Sawyer’s school photo.
