I told myself I was protecting Ryan from a mistake.
Then I told myself I was protecting my mother from losing another son.
Then I told myself I was protecting you from a truth that would destroy
your recovery.
Every explanation became another excuse.
When I started caring for you at the hospital, I should have disclosed
what I knew to investigators and removed myself from your care.
I did neither.
When I saw you months later, I should have stayed away.
I did not.
I loved you.
That does not make what I did less selfish.
It makes it worse.
You deserved to choose me with the truth.
I took that choice from you.
Daniel.
I cried.
Then put letter away.
Love was not question.
I loved him.
Trust was question.
Meanwhile, investigators located Thomas Mercer.
He denied instructing Ryan to harm me.
He admitted knowing Redstone was reviewing Summit invoices.
