Chapter 4 - Little Lily Remembers The Day The Accident Happened
Seven-year-old Lily stepped out from behind her father, her large brown eyes reflecting the city lights outside.
“I remember that day, Daddy,” Lily whispered softly, looking up at Julian with a mixture of awe and sorrow.
Julian knelt down slowly, wincing slightly as his muscles adjusted, bringing himself level with his brave daughter.
“What do you remember, sweetheart?” Julian asked gently, his harsh expression instantly softening into pure warmth.
“Aunt Victoria and Uncle Marcus pushed you down the grand staircase at the country club,” Lily stated clearly.
Victoria gasped, stepping back as if she had been struck across the face by an invisible hand.
“That’s a lie fabricated by a confused child! She was three years old, she doesn't remember anything!” Victoria snapped.
“Children see and hear much more than adults give them credit for, Victoria,” Julian said, standing back up.
He pulled a digital audio recorder from his tuxedo pocket, sliding the power switch into the active position.
