Chapter 5 - THE FATHER WHO SIGNED HER MOTHER AWAY.
Daniel admitted signing the false evaluations after Eleanor threatened to revoke his medical license and report Elena’s undocumented grandmother.
“I thought keeping my career would keep our family safe.”
Elena’s voice broke.
“You kept your title and let Mom lose her name.”
Daniel did not ask forgiveness.
He surrendered his license and handed investigators Rosa’s file.
