Part 4: The First Crack in Their Story
Nelli’s smile vanished.
For several seconds, she simply stared at me.
Then Ádám stepped forward.
— Eszter, don’t make ridiculous accusations. You don’t understand how these medical procedures work.
— Then explain them to me.
His mother quickly intervened.
— Pregnancy dates can be confusing. You should leave medical matters to the doctors.
I picked up the ultrasound photograph.
— That’s exactly what I intend to do. I’ll ask the clinic to explain the dates.
Ádám’s expression hardened.
— You won’t contact anyone.
That answer was enough to make me suspicious.
If everything was innocent, why was he so afraid of a phone call?
Nelli began crying.
— I didn’t want things to happen this way. I never wanted to hurt you.
I looked at her.
— Then tell me the truth.
She lowered her eyes.
But instead of answering, she looked toward Ádám.
And I realized that whatever they were hiding, they had clearly discussed it before I arrived.
