But That Wasn’t All
There had been a few confusing episodes during the recovery. For example, the Van Ryns had noticed something: the girl in the hospital bed had a piercing in her navel. They never knew that detail about Laura. But at that moment, they just brushed it off as something she had hidden from them.
Also, after removing some of the bandages from her face, their parents had noticed that her teeth looked somehow different. They thought that was just an effect of the accident. But now they realized the truth.
