Hidden Heiress: They Lied

The young woman counts the old woman's pulse with two fingers while reading a medication sheet on the bed rail.

I put two fingers on her wrist and counted. Forty beats. Her hand was cold to the elbow.

Her medication sheet hung on the rail, with a new line added two days ago.

Who started her on this antibiotic?

Synopsis

The Crays raised me, then made sure I knew I was lucky to hold their coats. When Suki accused me of stealing her prize, the whole room believed her. I didn't beg. I showed them the mistake in her winning paper. The one I wrote first. They think I have nothing. They are wrong. I have a gift for finding what doctors miss, and one old woman who loves me without a price. When Hattie's heart fails, the people who threw me away want me to stay quiet to keep her safe. Then my real family comes for me, with an uncle who acts like a wall. The people who called me trash want to buy me now. They called me a thief. Now they can call me the heir.
