đŠ A man who had taken my daughter to the hospital after her accident handed me a red tie, asking me not to lose it and to tell my daughter not to feel guilty: when my daughter saw this tie, she went pale. It turned out thatâŠ
I received a call at 6:17 PM. I remember the exact time because thatâs when I always have my coffee.
âAre you AmĂ©lieâs mother?â
âYes⊠what happened?â
âYour daughter was in a car accident. I took her to the hospital. You need to come immediately.â
I couldnât breathe. I dropped my coffee cup, but I didnât even notice. I grabbed my keys and rushed to the hospital.
One of the doctors told me my daughter was in surgery and her condition was critical. The car that hit hers had fled. Then the man who had called me approached.
âAre you her mother?â he asked gently.
I nodded, unable to speak.
He took out a red tie, handed it to me, and said, âDonât lose this. Give it to your daughter when she wakes up, and tell her not to feel guilty.â
Before I could ask anything, he walked away. I kept the tie, not understanding its significance.
Fortunately, the surgery went well, and a few days later, my daughter returned home. When she saw the tie, she went pale. It turned out thatâŠ

When she saw the tie, my daughter went pale.
She took a deep breath and whispered, âMom⊠it was⊠it was Julien, one of my employees.â
She lowered her eyes, her voice trembling: âHe was working with me on this project⊠we had an argument before the accident because of a professional mistake I thought was serious. I fired him that same day.
I told him that everyone has to pay for their mistakes.
He was really a very competent and professional employee, and firing him was a bad decision on my part. And now, Iâve paid for my mistake too.â
I interrupted her, saying that Julien had told me to tell her not to feel guilty.
She tried to call him to sort things out, but it turned out he had already left the country to start a new life.
