Chapter 10 - The Ashes of the Fairchilds
The trial of Brendan Fairchild was a massive media spectacle that ended exactly as it should have.
He was sentenced to forty years in a federal penitentiary for fraud, embezzlement, and reckless endangerment.
Ximena received fifteen years for her role in the medical conspiracy.
Samantha Hayes was dishonorably discharged and faced her own lengthy prison sentence for corruption.
The irrevocable trust I created used the billions of Fairchild dollars to open the Chloe Fairchild Pediatric Heart Center.
The hospital was dedicated to ensuring that no family would ever be denied life-saving care because of money.
I finally felt a profound sense of peace washing over my grieving heart.
I stood in the sunshine outside the new hospital, feeling the warmth on my face for the first time in years.
I had kept my promise to my daughter, and justice had been completely served.
I decided it was time to put the past to rest and move forward with my life.
I took the old phone my father had given me and drove to the downtown bank.
I wanted to lock it away in my father's safe deposit box as a final goodbye to the chaos.
The bank manager escorted me into the heavy steel vault and left me alone with the metal box.
I opened the lid to place the phone inside, but I noticed a thick, sealed envelope resting at the bottom.
The envelope had my name written on it in my father's unmistakable handwriting.
I broke the wax seal and pulled out a stack of yellowed medical documents and a birth certificate.
I read the ink on the paper, and the air completely left my lungs.
