My husband lowered his head.
“Emily, I never wanted to send her away.”
“But you said we were taking her somewhere on Friday!”
“Yes, but…”
At that moment, a doctor stepped into the hallway.
“Margaret’s family?”
I jumped to my feet.
“Please tell me! Is she going to survive?”
The doctor was silent for a moment.
Then he asked:
“Who found this letter?”
“I did. Why? Did she take too much medication?”

“Your mother has regained consciousness. Her condition is stable. Our preliminary examinations have not found evidence that she took a dangerous amount of medication.”
I stood there in disbelief.
“Then why was she lying on the floor?”
“It appears she became unwell and fell. But there’s something you need to hear directly from her.”
The doctor led us into her room.
My mother was lying in the hospital bed.
