While changing the bandages of a young woman who had been in a coma for three months, the doctor froze in shock â her belly was growing larger each day. The truth behind what happened would soon bring the entire hospital to tears.
For three months, the young woman had lain motionless in the intensive care unit of a Seattle hospital. No family, no visitors â only Dr. Daniel, who changed her dressings, checked every vital sign, and quietly prayed for a miracle.
But then, he began to notice her abdomen rising day by day. No medical diagnosis could explain it. The entire team was stunned, suspicious, frightened⌠until the DNA results came back â and everyone wept....The ICU at St. Maryâs Hospital in Seattle hummed with the steady rhythm of ventilators and heart monitors. Dr. Daniel Harris, 35, had grown used to that mechanical musicâit was the soundtrack of suspended lives. Yet one patient always drew his gaze more than the others. Her name was Emily Foster, 27, a young woman brought in after a car accident three months earlier. She had been comatose ever since, her chart marked with the words Persistent Vegetative State.

The image was unmistakableâa fetus, about sixteen weeks along, heartbeat strong.
Silence fell over the room. Daniel felt his throat close up. Emily had been comatose for over ninety days. The timeline was impossible unlessâ
He clenched his fists, the realization burning through him like acid. Someone had violated her in that hospital.
He gathered the team. The charge nurse turned pale; the head administrator demanded secrecy while an investigation began. DNA samples were taken from every male staff member who had access to the ICU. The story spread in hushed voices through the hospital corridorsâfear, disbelief, and anger mixed into one suffocating fog.
When the DNA results returned two weeks later, Daniel opened the envelope in his office with trembling hands. What he saw made him sink into his chair, heart pounding.
It wasnât one of the staff.
It was him...Read more in Comment or Most relevant -> All comments đ
