Chapter 27: Potassium
Nathaniel looked at his mother.
"Save it from what?"
"From that stage," Margaret said. "From the whole city laughing at you."
She came one step closer and lowered her voice.
"If Camille didn't know what was in that glass, then Pierce fooled all of us."
"You were a good man who trusted a doctor. That's a story people forgive."
"And Natalie?"
"Natalie gets a kidney. Everybody gets something."
"You read her chart to the woman who drugged her."
"I read it to the only woman who could help her."
Nathaniel stood there in his gray suit.
The elevator doors began to close.
Margaret put out her gloved hand and stopped them.
"Come with me," she said. "We'll talk at home."
"I don't live at home, Mom. I live in one room in Brooklyn."
He took a step back.
"I don't want my name back like that."
Margaret held the doors a second longer.
Then she let go, stepped into the car alone, and stood with her back very straight while they closed on her.
Nathaniel turned around and saw me.
"I didn't know," he said.
"I know you didn't."
He nodded once and went down the stairs instead of waiting for the next car.
Two weeks later my body turned on me in the middle of an open chest.
