I was there too… my parents died that day. But it wasn’t an accident. Someone cut the brakes.
My father spoke a name before he died… Xavier.”
The room went silent. Then, suddenly, one of the machines began to beep. Fernand’s fingers twitched.
The doctors rushed in. Slowly, he opened his eyes and whispered:
“Camille… Patricia…” Patricia broke down in tears. After three long years, he was awake.
A reopened investigation revealed that Xavier had sabotaged the brakes to seize control of the family business. Lina became a key witness, and Xavier and Marcelle were arrested. Some time later, in the hospital garden, Fernand watched Patricia and Lina laughing together.
“She needs a family,” Patricia murmured. “And we need her,” Fernand replied. “Can I stay?” Lina asked timidly.
Patricia hugged her tightly. “You’re already home.”
For the first time in three years, light returned to their lives.
