"Emily" still remember the sound of her voice waking me up from bed , Her cheerful smile that makes me happy . We would always stroll across the garden. My mom loved the farm more than anything.

I reminisce, as I stood in front of her grave holding a bouquet of flowers, "I miss you mom .why did you have to leave so soon" she sobbed .

I still remember it like it was yesterday . She woke me up from bed that day and we had breakfast together . We had just finished working on the farm, and was heading home. I was having a chat with her when she suddenly slumped and fell into my arms .

"Dad ! Dad! , Somebody help" I yelled . She was lying flat dead in my arms . My dad suddenly appeared "what happened?" He asked with a frightened look on his face "I don't know we were just about to go in and she just..." I mumbled .

We Immediately carried her inside , my father manage to get her upstairs to their room . I stood by frightened I felt like my head was spinning , I was so confused .

"Look after her , I'll be right back" My father said before running outside. He took the horse and rode as fast as he could to get the doctor.

I waited in the room with my two younger siblings, Emma and Eugene . They had a very sad look on their faces . "Emily is mom going to be okay ?" Emma asked .

"Sure. I'm sure it's nothing ,dad will be here soon with the doctor" I replied .

My dad finally arrived with the doctor (an old man with grey hair and blue eyes ,wearing a white coat and a pair of glasses ) . He was holding a brown box . They went inside the room where my mother was staying. The doctor immediately brought out his stethoscope and began to check her heartbeat .

"okay she's still alive" He said .

"The children may excuse us " he added. My dad told us to wait outside . I stood by the closed door pacing from here to there "I hope everything is alright" I thought , soon after, the doctor opened the door .

"she is fine now" He said , those words were like music to my ears I immediately rushed inside to see her , she was still lying on the bed but she had opened her eyes . She stretched her hands towards me, I reached out my hand and she held me tight . I was so relieved and glad that nothing bad had happened .

"My darling Emily I'm sorry if I scared you" She said.

" no mom you didn't I'm just glad you are okay now" I replied .

The doctor and my father were having a conversation outside.

"I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left , she is going to need some serious medication if she is to survive" He explained .

"How much will the medication cost? " My dad asked .

"50 gold coins" He said.

"I don't have that kind of money" He worried .

"We need to be quick about it I don't know how long the medication I gave to her would last " He stated .

"Mr Timber, I know how hard this is for you but she is in a very critical condition. She has gone through a lot of stress so much that her body is starting to reject it " He added.

"But doctor, isn't there anything you can do for me, I don't know where I can get that much money " My father pleaded .

"I'm sorry if there was another way I would have suggested it " He responded.

"Okay I'll get the money ready by tomorrow" He promised .

"Alright, and she needs a lot of rest don't bother her for now" He trailed off .

"Where I'm I suppose to get this money" He wonder as he went back inside .

I later left my mom in her room to rest . As i descended down the stairs, I saw my father he was looking rather worried .

I approached him and asked "so what did the doctor say?" I asked , he looked at me and shook his head, the poor man was already lost in thought .

"He said it was cause by a lot of stress, she needs serious medication" he replied .

"will she be okay" I said.

"l don't know yet the, doctor said the medication cost 50 coins" He answered .

"What!" I exclaimed , we were poor and didn't have much . My dad had spent his last dime on her treatment earlier. "where are we going to get that kind of money?" I asked .

"I don't know but I have to get it by tomorrow" He responded . Where was he planning on getting the money I wondered .

I sat on a stool by the side of the bed my mom was lying on.

" where is your dad?" She asked

"I don't know,he rushed off some where, he said he would be back by tomorrow" I replied.

I was worried about my mom. Where was my father going to getting the money
