He looked at my suitcase and then my face.

Empecé a temblar.
—No te acerques a mí.
Se detuvo inmediatamente.
—Margaret, puedo explicártelo.
—Has estado poniendo algo en mi bebida todas las noches. La llevé a un laboratorio. Sé lo que has hecho.Lab Equipment
Daniel’s face was completely white.
Did you go to a lab?
I nodded.
Suddenly, he sat on the stairs and sank his face in his hands.Search for Doctor
Entonces empezó a llorar.
—Dios mío… Entonces ya es demasiado tarde.
He was about to call the police when he took an old photograph of his pocket.
In it appeared a young woman holding a small child.
Do you recognize this woman?
I looked closely.
And I felt that the heart was about to stop.
She was my best friend, Sarah.
He had died more than thirty years ago.
Where did you get this photograph?Discover Drinks
The tears were running down Daniel’s face.
Because that child is me.
I slowly dropped on the stairs.
Daniel continued:
When my mother died, I was adopted. Only many years later I discovered that you were the woman who had taken care of me for months while my mother was in the hospital. You were never a stranger to me, Margaret.
I remembered that boy.
I was only a few years old.
Le había dado de comer, le había contado cuentos antes de dormir y lo había acunado hasta que se quedaba dormido.
But after Sarah's death, her relatives took the boy to another city and we lost touch.Improve Sleep
“Are you that child?” I whispered.

Entonces abrió su teléfono y me mostró varios documentos médicos.

And what were you putting in me drink?
—A nutritional supplement that a specialist recommended to me. But now I understand that I never should have given it to you without telling you. You had every right to know.
Resultó que aquel suplemento también podía interactuar con uno de mis medicamentos habituales y empeorar mi somnolencia.
Daniel ya había organizado pruebas médicas adicionales y las reparaciones del sistema de agua de la casa.
His secret telephone conversations had been about those preparations.
“I wanted to fix everything before I told you. I was afraid you'd panic. But by keeping it a secret, I just managed to scare you even more.
For a long time, I didn't say anything.
Then I asked:Join causes
—¿Por qué escribió el médico que yo no debía sospechar nada?
Daniel esbozó una pequeña sonrisa triste y sacó otro sobre.
Inside were old Sarah letters, photographs of us, and drawings Daniel had made when he was little.
He had found them in a box that his adoptive parents had kept.
The next day, I had planned to take to meet Sarah’s relatives who were still living and give me back memories that I thought was lost forever.
