Chapter 14 - THE DOCTOR WHO SOLD HER MINDDr. Whitaker arrived carrying reports that declared Eleanor confused, unstable, and incapable of controlling money.

He claimed Clara invented the accusations after being caught stealing. He described her as poor, angry, and desperate for compensation.

Judge Collins studied the reports.

Every evaluation used identical wording. Even Eleanor’s supposed mistakes appeared in the same order.

“Did you examine her,” the judge asked, “or copy the same lie for five years?”

Before Whitaker answered, a young nurse entered with medication logs showing Eleanor received heavy sedatives before every competency test.

Victoria accused Adrian of paying her.

The nurse placed a photograph on the table. It showed Victoria inside the clinic’s records room, holding Eleanor’s file beside Dr. Whitaker.

The date was the night Clara disappeared.

Police moved toward him, but the nurse stopped them.

“The clinic didn’t pay for those drugs.”
