At the age of 64, I married a 31-year-old man. Six months later, I noticed that every evening he secretly added something to my drink and insisted that I drink it to the last drop.

Finally, he whispered: "I don't know.

Those words told me everything.

A few weeks later, I returned to the residence with Helen and a helper

us in matters related to separation.

I didn't come back to make up.

I wanted to get my books back, my mother's photos and a hand-sewn quilt, which many years earlier we made together with Helen.

Daniel was waiting in the lobby.

He looked older than I remembered him.

“How are you feeling?” he asked.

  • Better.

There were tears in his eyes.

  • I'm glad.

He told me that Dr. Cole had been removed from the research program until the matter was clarified and the clinical trial itself was halted.

Daniel also began to cooperate with the authorities conducting the investigation.

I asked if it was possible to determine who sent the mysterious photo.

Daniel nodded.

  • Yes.

  • Who?

That third woman.

I felt it squeeze in my chest.
