"We've tracked down Lamont, the pediatrician who examinedback then." Kenia's breath caught. "You found him? What did he say?" Belinda gave a faint, bitter smile.

She couldn't bear the thought that her own daughter was capable of doing something so cruel.

Her voice was calm yet sharp. "What kind of mother would treat her child like that Kenia opened her mouth, but no words came.
Finally, with a trembling hand, she reached out and clasped Belinda's fingers. "Belinda, why don't we ask Halley tojohere tomorrow? Let her explain herself. Maybe... Maybe there's something we don't know. Perhaps she had her reasons for doing that."
