“The anesthesia tampering,” I pressed on. “A newly graduated trainee nurse wouldn’t dare tamper with critical medications without direction from a superior.”

Marcus reached for me, but I stepped back. “You think I’m stupid?”

“Even if evidence pointed directly at Sophia, you’d still protect her,” I said bitterly. “The investigation results
