## Chapter 4 — Emily Becomes the Suspect
Mall security quickly arrived and began clearing space around the injured women.
Sophia continued crying.
She pointed repeatedly toward Emily.
"She got angry."
"She shoved me."
"I fell too."
Some people nodded sympathetically.
Others weren't so sure.
Emily remained on the floor holding her stomach while paramedics hurried through the crowd.
One medic immediately checked the baby's heartbeat.
Emily watched their faces anxiously.
"Please..."
"My baby..."
The medic offered a reassuring smile.
"We're checking."
Nearby, two women quietly whispered.
"I don't think a pregnant woman would attack someone."
"But we didn't actually see what happened."
The uncertainty spread through the crowd.
Without clear evidence...
No one knew who was telling the truth.
Sophia noticed people's hesitation.
She cried even louder.
"I was only trying to help her."
Then she covered her face with both hands.
The scene became increasingly chaotic.
No one noticed a small child standing quietly beside an ice cream cart...
Watching everything.
