— Outside. Dad, I need to know what you discovered.
He paused.
— I spoke to someone familiar with the clinic. The donor program is new, but the clinic has offered other fertility services for years. The launch date alone doesn’t prove when Nelli’s pregnancy began.
I closed my eyes.
— So the ultrasound doesn’t prove they’re lying?
— Not by itself. We need reliable documentation before reaching any conclusions.
Then he added something that caught my attention.
— There’s another matter involving Ádám’s professional promotion. I received information that the hospital’s appointment committee is reviewing some financial irregularities connected to his department.
I stood still.
— What kind of irregularities?
— I don’t have the complete picture yet. But I want you to be careful.
For the first time that evening, I understood that the pregnancy might not be the only secret surrounding my fiancé.
