But at that moment, the man said something loudly that made Emily tremble all over.
“Tell the doctor that my daughter is in a serious mental state. She doesn’t know what she’s saying. I’m her father, and I need to take her home.”
Emily whispered through her tears.
“See? He’s already started. He said exactly the same thing about my mother before they took her away from me.”
I froze.
“And where is your mother?”
She looked directly into my eyes.
“For twelve years, my father has been telling me that my mother is dead. But last night, I found out she’s alive.”
At that very moment, the nurse entered the room and called me aside.
“Daniel, the man standing in the hallway says he knows you. He asked me to tell you that your mother’s name is Margaret.”
I froze.
Margaret really was my mother’s name.
