Chapter 11 / 27
Chapter 11 - WHY HE WAITEDTrevor said panic.
He could not believe his mother would do something dangerous.
He convinced himself the searches were paranoia.
He was afraid police would blame Diane.
He was afraid I would blame him.
All true feelings.
None helped Luke.
When Trevor finally told the pediatric team, Luke had already shown unusual sleepiness.
Doctors changed testing and monitoring.
Could earlier disclosure have saved him?
No one could guarantee.
That uncertainty nearly destroyed me.
I wanted a clean sentence:
If Trevor had spoken, Luke would be alive.
Medicine refused.

The prosecution would later refuse too.
Causation is not anger.
