Chapter 11 - THE DOCTOR'S CONFESSION
Inside the federal interrogation room in downtown Miami, Dr. Sterling sat under bright fluorescent lights, weeping openly.
Across the steel table sat Prosecutor Miller and Clara, who listened with chilling composure to every word.
"Beatrice paid me two hundred thousand dollars in untraceable cash," Dr. Sterling confessed, his hands shaking violently.
"She had a nurse swap the medical records and take Clara’s baby to a private medical suite on the fifth floor," he revealed.
"What happened to the birth mother records?" Prosecutor Miller asked sharply, taking detailed notes on his notepad.
"I altered the state registry to show that the baby was born to an anonymous surrogate," Dr. Sterling admitted.
"And there were others, weren't there?" Clara asked suddenly, her dark eyes piercing directly into his soul.
Dr. Sterling hesitated, swallowing hard as a cold sweat broke out across his forehead.
"Beatrice wasn't the only wealthy socialite who bought a baby from your clinic, was she?" Clara pressed fiercely.
