David takes himself.

“No. No one will ever hurt my son again.

He called the agency of nurses. They hesitated, then revealed that Amélie had used false papers. His number no longer worked. David contacted a private investigator who specializes in tracing people. Two days later, the investigator, a man named Laurent, returned with disturbing news.

Amélie’s real name was Amélie Judith Moreau. She had a criminal record. Three different families had reported her for aggressive behaviour towards children.

“She’s been doing this for years,” said Laurent gloomily. She changes cities, uses false documents, targets single parents.

The police were immediately alerted. Amélie worked for another family in a neighboring town. It was arrested in forty-eight hours.

— Ethan !

David ran to him. The child turned round, his lips trembling.

“She has returned,” he murmured.

David held him close.

“No, you’re safe with Dad. She will not return. The police took her away.
