Julian Vance visited me later that afternoon, bringing the actual chart records. "Amelia, I pulled the internal telemetry logs before Cameron could touch them," Julian said quietly, sitting beside my bed. "He didn't just turn off the epidural. He deliberately delayed the C-section order by forty-five minutes after the baby's heart rate plunged into severe bradycardia.
