Only after all the tests are run twice does Renee accept that the impossible has truly happened. Of course, the news of the girl’s miraculous recovery sweeps through the hospital like wildfire, and everyone on the staff, and even some of the patients, come to see the miracle for themselves. The pretty little girl awes all. They’re claiming she must be an angel, that God has blessed her. Renee doesn’t know what to think. She is a Doctor, has dedicated her life to the pursuits of science and medicine. Things like miracles don’t exist. But no scientific explanation can be reached.
In the end, the hospital has no choice but to release the perfectly healthy child to the authorities.
Renee knows that there is something different about this girl. The police tell her that the child will be put temporarily in the care of the Sisters at the St. Paul’s Catholic Orphanage, just until her family can be located.
A local physician from the family clinic used to do the regular check-ups on the children at the Orphanage but has just recently retired. A new physician has yet to volunteer for the job. Renee decides to offer her services for the purpose of keeping a close eye on this peculiar girl. All she knows is there is science and the unexplained, and, one way or another, she will solve the mystery of this nameless, miracle child.
