Angel of Death (2013)
“Timothy – ‘My Special Boy’ 3. Timothy – ‘My Special Boy’ Then, on 5 March, just three days after Liam had been buried, another child died on Ward Four.
Timothy Hardwick, the second victim, was eleven years old but he was just as helpless as baby Liam. He’d been born with severe brain damage and had never been able to talk, see or walk. In many ways he, too, was still a baby like Liam, incapable of questioning his treatment.
His life had been tragic from the beginning. Mother Helen and father... Robert, thirty-six, longed for a son. Helen already had a healthy six-year-old daughter, Elaine, when she found out that she was pregnant again; a scan revealed it was a boy, the child that would make their family complete.
The Hardwicks were thrilled and Helen, at thirty-four, was full of energy and vitality, eager for the birth. The pregnancy was uneventful in the early stages but, with only a fortnight to go, Helen fell seriously ill and had to undergo delicate surgery to remove fluid from her brain.MoreLess
