After Losing Her Husband, a Woman Learned from a Nurse That Another Woman Had Been Visiting Him for Several Weeks – A Few Days Later, the Visitor Came to Her House and Said, ‘So You Don’t Know What He Left You, Do You?’

Rachel looked at the cardigan. “I thought it belonged to the woman who visited him.”

“What woman?”

“I assumed she was family.”

“Jack didn’t have family.”

“I’m sorry.”

“How often was she here?”

“Several times. Sometimes she stayed a few hours.”

“What did she look like?”

“Dark hair. Early forties.”

“Did they argue?”

“Not that I saw.”

“What did they do?”

“Mostly talked. There were usually papers everywhere.”

“Papers?”

“Yes.”

I remembered the documents in Jack’s jacket.

“Can I see the security footage?”

“I can’t show you hospital surveillance.”

“Then tell me who she was.”

“I don’t know her name.”

After several conversations with hospital staff, I finally saw the footage.

“She came carrying that folder.”

“How long did she stay?”

“Almost two hours.”

“And that clip?”

“The following day.”

“She’s crying.”

“Yes.”

“Were they alone?”

“Yes.”

“Every time?”

“Claire…”

“Were they?”

“Mostly.”

I stared at the screen.
