Chapter 7 - The Nurse's Confession
Before the guards could make a move, the heavy front doors of the hacienda swung open.
An elderly woman in a formal coat stepped into the trophy room, accompanied by two uniform state troopers.
Camila’s eyes went wide with terror as she recognized the elderly woman. "Nurse Martha...?"
"Yes, Camila," Nurse Martha said, her voice heavy with shame and regret as she looked at Doña Esperanza. "I couldn't live with the guilt anymore. When I saw the news that you were trying to commit your mother, I knew I had to speak."
The state trooper stepped forward, holding a recorded sworn affidavit.
"Nurse Martha came to the police station three days ago," the trooper announced. "She confessed that twenty-five years ago, Camila paid her $50,000 to forge adoption papers for Doña Esperanza's newborn daughter."
