“That isn’t my account.”
Naomi zoomed in. The profile originated on a device assigned to Peter’s office. A later entry documented a username change; the initial access details had disappeared from the active account.
Clinic compliance director Martin Cole arrived with the coordinator. When Naomi demanded preservation of earlier versions, he acknowledged that some old lab entries had been removed from the active record. One explicitly stated that the embryos came from my eggs and Peter’s sperm, precisely as I’d requested.
The newer documents contradicted it, assigning three family-linked letters to those embryos and identifying them as third-party material.
“Who changed those labels?” Naomi demanded.
Martin said an investigation was underway.
“And why was the original note removed?”
He couldn’t explain. The absence of an answer was almost as disturbing as the altered labels. Documents that should have provided certainty were turning into evidence that someone had rewritten the history of my own treatment.
