Chapter 7 - THE MOST DIFFICULT TEST

The next day, as soon as she got up, Sharon went to the hospital where she had worked four years before. When she arrived, she met Dr Webster, an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time.

'Hello, William! How have you been? It's nice to see you again,' said Sharon.

'What a surprise!' he exclaimed. 'What are you doing here?'

'I need a favour of you. Can you help me?'

She explained her plan to him. At first, he didn't agree to do what he considered was totally wrong. But then his long-lasting feelings for Sharon made his heart beat hard again, the way it did when they worked together. As he used to do long ago, he gave in to her wishes and said yes to whatever she wanted. He promised to cooperate. She said goodbye and he went straight to the archives.

A few days later, Sharon got a call from William, who told her that everything was ready. She collected an envelope from his house. The moment she saw him, she thought he looked much better without his white coat. He paid her a compliment saying how pretty her new hairstyle was. Sharon couldn't help blushing, and when he invited her to share dinner, she just told him she couldn't spare the time. She had to continue with her plan.

The bell rang at the Taylors' house and Cindy opened the door. 'What are you doing here so late?' she asked, inviting her to come in. Sharon told her niece all about her plan and asked her to remain quiet and try to look scared.

'I'd  like you to call your parents now,' Sharon said. 'Just pretend and leave the rest to me. Everything we need is in this envelope.'

At that moment Cindy's father was coming downstairs. 'Was that the bell?... Oh, Sharon ... it's you! We didn'texpect you at this time.'

'Good evening, Adam,' she greeted, making an effort to look sad. 'I'm afraid I've got bad news for you.'

'Gwen, darling!' he shouted. 'Come here, come quickly. Your sister needs to talk to us.'
