The next morning, the doctor walked into the waiting area with a warm smile.
He told David that Maya was stable and would make a full recovery soon.
David cried tears of pure joy and hugged the doctor with deep gratitude.
He spent an hour sitting beside Maya's bed while she slept peacefully.
Once he knew she was safe, he decided to find out what really happened.
He drove back to his large home to look for clues inside the house.
The house was quiet, and Evelyn was nowhere to be seen inside the main rooms.
David walked up the stairs and went straight to Evelyn's private home office.
He opened the wooden desk drawers and searched through the neatly stacked folders.
Near the bottom of a black drawer, he found a thick legal paper.
It was a life insurance policy taken out in Maya's name just last week.
The document listed Evelyn as the main person who would get the cash money.
David felt a cold chill run down his spine as he read the numbers.
The policy was worth two million dollars in the event of an untimely death.
He also found a second paper regarding his late father's family trust fund.
The trust stated that if Maya were gone, Evelyn would gain total control.
David: She planned this whole thing for the money.
Suddenly, the office door swung open, and Evelyn stepped into the room.
She saw the legal papers resting in David's trembling hands.
Her face turned completely pale, and she clutched her handbag tightly.
Evelyn: You have no right to look through my private personal documents!
David: You tried to harm my child for a cash payout!
Evelyn: That insurance policy was for her future college education fund!
David: You put yourself down as the sole beneficiary, Evelyn!
Evelyn backed away toward the hallway as David took a step forward.
Evelyn: Nobody will ever believe your crazy story in a court of law!
