Why would Isabella be reading about medical treatments?
"These look like very specialized pieces," I said carefully, testing her reaction. "Are they part of a medical collection?"
Isabella's breath caught slightly. "Medical collection?"
"Some collectors focus on historical medical instruments, anatomical drawings, that sort of thing," I explained, watching her closely while pretending to stare sightlessly ahead. "I thought I heard you mention something about therapeutic applications."
"Oh, no, nothing like that," she said quickly, too quickly. "Just regular art pieces. Paintings and sculptures, like I said."
