Chapter 10 - My Uncle Came for the Twins in the Hospital, but the Seven-Year-Old He Thought Was Helpless Was the Only Person Who Could Recognize HimMy uncle looked like an ordinary man.

Gray suit.
Glasses.
Friendly face.
He had fooled everyone.
He came into the hospital carrying flowers.
He approached me.
“Amelia.”
I knew immediately.
It was his eyes.
Mom had shown me photographs.
I backed away.
“You're him.”
He smiled.
“You remember.”
The detective rushed toward us.
My uncle ran.
He grabbed one of the twins.
I screamed.
“Put him down!”
He smiled.
“Give me the code.”
I refused.
He carried the baby toward the exit.
I followed.
Then I saw the elevator.
Blue.
Mom's blue door.
I pressed the emergency button.
The elevator stopped.
Security arrived.
My uncle was arrested.
The twins were safe.
But the final piece remained.
Why had Mom known?
Because she had seen this coming.
