I received a call at 6:17 PM. I remember the exact time because thatās when I always have my coffee.
āAre you AmĆ©lieās mother?ā
āYesā¦ what happened?ā
āYour daughter was in a car accident. I took her to the hospital. You need to come immediately.ā
I couldnāt breathe. I dropped my coffee cup, but I didnāt 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.
āAre you her mother?ā he asked gently.
I nodded, unable to speak.
He took out a red tie, handed it to me, and said, āDonāt lose this. Give it to your daughter when she wakes up, and tell her not to feel guilty.ā
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 thatā¦

When she saw the tie, my daughter went pale.
She took a deep breath and whispered, āMomā¦ it wasā¦ it was Julien, one of my employees.ā
She lowered her eyes, her voice trembling: āHe was working with me on this projectā¦ 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, Iāve paid for my mistake too.ā
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.
