Update: today, before training, the trainer was so happy and cheerful (it was the first day of training after I sent the card). The funny (and a bit sad) thing is, that he thought it was another mother the one who sent it and they were chatting happily about it in front of me!! While he was saying how nice it was and how grateful he was, she didn't deny it and she played along, battling her eyelashes and saying "it was nothing, really", and blushing deeply. So, it looks like I have nothing to worry about. Obviously this woman had a crush on him and I made it easier for her (she's married, though)... but it's sad that she lies to his face like that. Some people are really twisted. So, I suppose all ended well... Ha! I've gotten myself into awkward situations where I misunderstood something early in conversation and then just played along to avoid awkwardness. In fact, a girl I went to college with, whom I haven't seen in 20 or more years, "reminded" me the other day that I broke her hand at softball practice one day with an errant throw. I have absolutely zero recollection of that, but it was loud, I could barely hear her and I'll likely never see her again, so I just smiled and nodded. Otherwise the conversations was going to be, "are you insane?" OK, you might be right and the poor woman didn't know what to do after he started thanking her! Everyone was looking, maybe she wasn't able to find the words...

Hi everybody Last week he saw me and said "I know it was you. Thank you", smiled and left. Awkward!!! The other lady still plays along and pretends, so it's a,pretty ridiculous situation. I can't complain as it's all my fault, I put myself in this situation. This is like one of those TV soap operas with a lot of Carmencitas and Alvaro Antonios.

Sounds like it ended well enough for you and he. He figured it out and expressed his gratitude, so your effort was appreciated and his initial help was recognized. He respects you enough to tell you, and did it in a manner that says he is relying on your discretion. Also, he's aware she: #1 is interested, #2 continues a facade, and #3 that she apparently hasn't really thought this through.
