Hard Reckoning: Intensive Care Summary

Marianne rushes to Rochester after her mother's call. She finds Judd and Corrine waiting in the intensive care unit for information about Michael Sr., who had collapsed in the street a week before. Someone found Corrine's number among his things. They have been told that Michael has cancer.

Marianne is taken into Michael's room. Corrine says that he has been asking for her. While she is with him, he opens his eyes and whispers things she cannot understand. Eventually, however, he does whisper something that sounds like her name. Later, while outside the hospital getting some fresh air, Marianne asks Judd repeatedly if Dad did say her name. Judd assures her that he had been asking for her, and he must have said her name. Marianne decides she must believe it.
