Chapter 6 - I Learned Why Marcus Could See What Doctors Missed—and the Answer Was Hidden in His Birth CertificateWe left the mansion.
Dominic arranged a safe apartment.
Marcus slept peacefully.
I couldn't.
I kept thinking about the message.
The boy is the key.
Dominic arrived with a folder.
“We need to talk.”
“What is Marcus involved in?”
“Nothing.”
“Then why are they after him?”
Dominic opened the folder.
“Your son's medical records.”
I frowned.
“He was born healthy.”
“Yes.”
“But there was something unusual.”
He showed me a scan.
“When Marcus was born, doctors noticed something.”
“What?”
“His visual processing is unusually advanced.”
I stared.
“Meaning?”
“He notices tiny details most people ignore.”
“That doesn't explain this.”
Dominic shook his head.
“No.”
He showed me another document.
A genetic study.
My name was missing.
The father's name was listed as unknown.
I felt sick.
“I know who Marcus's father is.”
Dominic looked at me.
“I was told his father died.”
“He did.”
Dominic nodded.
“Then someone altered the records.”
I stared at him.
“Why?”
“Because your son may have inherited a rare neurological trait.”
Marcus's ability to detect tiny movements.
Unusual visual sensitivity.
The ability to notice patterns.
Dominic whispered,
“Someone knew.”
Suddenly, the conspiracy became bigger than Dominic.
