I froze.
A second scream came from behind the locked door.
“AAAH! PLEASE! MAKE IT STOP!”
Then I heard her sobbing uncontrollably.
“Daddy! I’m scared! Please, help me!”
Robert’s trembling voice followed.
“Emily, sweetheart, stay with me! I’m right here!”
My heart nearly stopped. I grabbed the door handle with shaking hands.

“ROBERT! OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!”
Something fell inside.
Emily called my name in fright.
Then the door opened.
I had prepared myself for the worst.
But what I saw was completely different.
Emily was sitting on a small chair, fully dressed, with a towel around her shoulders. Robert was holding a folder of medical documents.
“Tell me what’s happening!” I demanded.
My husband silently handed me the folder.

It contained medical test results.
They were in Emily’s name.
And they carried the hospital’s official stamp.
