When I spoke to the doctor in the hallway, he confirmed it.
Without the surgery, Virginia wouldn’t survive long.
Standing there, I suddenly understood why Harold had left me the key.
He had trusted me to finish what he started.
Two days later, I returned to the hospital with the money.
The surgery lasted six hours.
It was successful.
A week later, Virginia invited me to visit her home.
She showed me an old photo album.
Page after page told the story of a girl growing up.
Then I turned one more page.
And my heart stopped.
