Clara’s mind went blank.
“Pregnant…? Anna was thirteen.”
Margaret began sobbing.
“Your father…”
The machine erupted into frantic alarms.
Doctors rushed inside.
Clara stumbled backward in total horror as nurses pulled her toward the door.
And just before Margaret lost consciousness forever, she screamed:

The funeral took place four days later.
Cold rain soaked the cemetery.

Not abandoned the family.
Vanished.
His car had been found near the same lake.
Empty.
At the time, police assumed suicide.
But new evidence suggested otherwise.
Fingerprints.
Blood.
