Inside a quiet maternity ward, a pregnant woman stands alone in tears, holding her stomach as if she is protecting the only thing she has left. A strict woman in a black suit steps forward and demands answers, turning the whole hallway against her.
To everyone else, she looks like a patient who should not be there. But the old cleaner beside her knows the truth. Years ago, he was working the night a newborn disappeared from this same ward — and he never forgot the face of the woman who signed the final papers.
When he sees the pregnant patient’s bracelet, his expression changes. The number on it matches a file that was supposed to be destroyed.
Later that night, he unlocks a storage room behind the nursery and finds the missing record. Inside is one line circled in red: “Mother alive. Child hidden. Family notified.”
