A woman wore her mother's necklace for 25 years, and suddenly one day, she accidentally discovered the amazing secret buried inside the necklace for 25 years!
Suddenly, in a trance, Anna lost her way and lay on the ground. Still a little dizzy and confused by what had happened, Anna tried to get up from the sidewalk. Many rushed over to help her.
"What just happened?" Anna wanted to know. She looked back and quickly put everything together. A car stopped behind her. She must have been trying to ride her bike around and avoid it, and she fell. Luckily, Anna and her bike didn't seem to be damaged at all.
The floor on the sidewalk was littered with her mother's old necklace, and the large pendant on the necklace was squashed. Anna's tears began to flow out, and this old necklace that had accompanied her for 25 years was the only keepsake that Anna had left for her by her mother, and it held Anna's endless thoughts about her mother!
Anna is 68 years old and has just retired, just like her husband Thomas. Anna's children have long since grown up independent and moved out of the house, and Anna is preparing for a relaxing retirement. To an average woman, this may sound like the most ordinary story, but Anna's life is not ordinary at all, and it will not be in the future.
You see, Anna's early life was much more difficult than anyone's usual life. Due to the complex feelings of her parents, it brings great life difficulties and emotional pressure to her childhood life, and even her adult life. Although Anna left everything behind her for many years, the memories and mental trauma brought to her by her parents' family life still left a deep shadow on her.
A poor family
Anna was born into a poor family in a city where the quality of life depends largely on a person's financial situation. Even before she was born, her parents had been poor.
Anna's birth didn't help her family get better, and the family had more negative problems than just lack of money. Anna's birth seems to have changed the relationship between the couple who once loved each other so much.
Anna's father, John, seems to want his daughter to live the best life possible, so he works hard and spends all his free time on his lovely daughter. Anna's mother, Dorothy, seems to have taken a different attitude towards Anna. This continued for several years.
John hated his wife's behavior, but felt helpless. He loved his wife very much and didn't want to lose her. He hoped that this was only temporary difficulties that would soon pass. But it soon turned out that this was not the case.
One night, Anna's mother, Dorothy, suddenly said goodbye
One morning, John woke up to find his wife, Dorothy, not in bed, which was a very unusual phenomenon. He began to look around the house and woke Anna up in the process. There seemed to be nothing in the room, it was abnormal, but Dorothy was nowhere to be found.
After John searched the entire house without success, John and Anna (who was about 8 years old at the time) began looking around the neighborhood, asking neighbors if anyone had seen Dorothy leave that night.
Luckily, they had a neighbor who lived across the street who worked the evening shift around 1 a.m. and came home from work. The neighbor told John and Anna that at about 1:30 in the morning he saw Dorothy leave the house. About five to ten minutes later, a limousine appeared in front of her. Some thought the driver got out of the car, opened the door for Dorothy, and bowed respectfully to her as she got into the car. After that, they left.
A family letter
Unfortunately, the neighbor didn't think to record the license plate and didn't know what the exact model was. That wasn't enough for the police to investigate, so Anna and John lived in a miserable world of complete darkness for weeks.
Later, one morning, a letter appeared in their home's mailbox that seemed to explain what had happened. The letter was short, and to the point, and was written by Dorothy. In the letter, she explained that she left the home because she was in love with someone else, someone richer than John. She wanted to live the life she deserved and never wanted anything to do with her family again.
Recovering from the shock of receiving the letter for the first time, John began to notice that there seemed to be a lot of problems in the letter. It was a handwritten letter, but it was not Dorothy's handwriting, and it contained something he had never heard his wife say.
With these suspicions in mind, John went to the police again, but did not get the answer he had hoped for. The police told him they thought the letter was a reasonable explanation for his wife's departure, as it made sense to neighbours who said someone had taken her in a limousine. If John wanted to keep looking, he would go and find it himself. There was no will in John's body to stop searching for his wife.
John had to go back to work
John's job didn't give him more free time to look for his wife, and if he didn't come back soon, his company boss would find someone else to do his job. He has an 8 year old daughter at home that he has to take care of and he can't afford to lose his job. Considering all aspects of the situation, John felt that he had no choice but to give up on finding his wife, Dorothy.
He gave up looking for his wife, trying to convince himself that the letter was true and that she had left him. He lowered his head and went back to work to take care of himself and Anna, who also had to learn how to take care of herself soon, and this went on for several years.
At that time, instead of getting more information about Dorothy, they slowly began to forget her. John gradually forgot about his beautiful ex-wife, Dorothy, and at this time, another woman seized the opportunity.
John A new relationship, Anna turns into a nasty drag bottle
John and a beautiful young woman begin a new relationship, and they seem to fall in love. It didn't take long for her and her son to be with John and Anna.
John expected this to be the beginning of a wonderful new chapter in his life. But the result is clearly wrong. While John got along well with his new girlfriend, that didn't happen to Anna, who had a cold relationship with her new mom. It was clear that the woman had only her son in her eyes, and she thought in her heart that Anna was an obstacle to her and John's perfect life, and she quickly put those thoughts into action.
The stepmother's abuse of her stepdaughter
With John not home, Anna, 15, often spends time alone with her new mum, and the two face-to-head clashes are never far away. Anna often went uneaten, and she cried with hunger.
She wanted to tell her father many times, but she knew that he was satisfied with the new relationship, and she did not want to destroy her father's sweet relationship. Anna eventually decided that leaving home was the best option. But how? She didn't even have enough money to buy food. But, one day, an unexpected opportunity appeared in front of her.
Anna received an unexpected package
Anna felt that although her biological mother was not around to take care of her, it seemed that in the dark, her biological mother was always caring for him from a distance.
One day at noon, when Anna was home alone, the bell rang. Her father was at work, and her mother and son were at the grocery store. Anna opened the door and got a small package. The package doesn't have a sender address, and the mailing guide doesn't know where it came from.
Anna quickly opened it. There were three things in the package: a letter to Anna; a beautiful and expensive necklace full of diamonds; and a picture frame with a man Anna recognized as her mother, wearing the same necklace. Still confused, Anna opened the letter and read it.
Mother Dorothy died
The letter was short. The letter said Dorothy had died two months earlier and that the funeral had taken place, but did not say where the body was buried. The letter ends explaining that the contents of the box were left to Anna by Dorothy in her will. Even in the letter, there is no mention of who sent it from where.
Anna was very surprised by the letter. Of course, she hadn't seen her mother for nearly 7 years, and Anna had been thinking endlessly about her biological mother, especially when she was abused by her stepmother and was hiding in a small dark room in the attic crying silently! She had never heard from her mother either, but because of her mother's miserable situation, she still thought that Dorothy was her own mother, and was very saddened by her death, and Anna ran alone to the corner of the park far from home and wept.
Valuation of this necklace
Anna took the necklace to the local jewelry store and wondered how much it was worth. The clerk took the necklace to the back to see, which he examined carefully and took nearly an hour to get back to Anna.
But about this necklace, he came to a very strange conclusion. The jeweler told Anna that the entire necklace was fake. Very delicate fake, almost as fake as a fake, but still fake. It's almost entirely made of cheap metal and glass, which in itself isn't surprising, with fake jewelry appearing almost every day in his shop. There was one thing in this fake that intrigued him. This item is not fake.
A precious diamond
The small stone above the large glass pendant, which is actually a real diamond, is very precious.
Anna was very happy to hear the news, because in her opinion, it meant that she could have the best of both worlds. She can sell the gem to a jewelry store to fund her run away from home; She could keep the rest of the necklace in honor of her mother.
The jeweler paid a good price, as Anna had hoped, but it wasn't enough to get Anna to leave. For Anna, for the time being, everything seems to be going well, but this luck is not long-lasting.
Another serious quarrel between Anna and her stepmother
The situation at Anna's house did not improve at all. In fact, it's getting worse. As time went on, her quarrels with her stepmother seemed to become more frequent, and her stepmother became more and more violent.
In the beginning, it was only when her father, John, was not present that her mother began to scold Anna. But this time, in front of John, she started yelling and hitting Anna, who was sitting in the same room. Anna wanted her father to help her, but he did nothing. He just let it go, and this scene made Anna completely disappointed in her biological father, who had loved her so much, that she almost collapsed.
That night, she packed her bags and left the house without telling anyone, and she was forced to run away from home.
On the first night of the run, she had nowhere to go, so she decided to sleep in the park. Her biological father didn't even come to her, which really made her sad.
The next day, she jumped on a bus that would take her as far as she could. She quickly found a job as a waitress and saved enough money to rent a small apartment for herself.
But in the end, Anna will not live alone for a long time, and the god of fate and love, like her mother, still cares for and protects her in the dark.
Anna's god of love is coming
In the restaurant where she worked, there was a young chef, and Anna seemed to have fallen in love with him from the first time they met. Anna was very cautious at first, because it was clear that she was still enduring the trauma of the past two years and was healing herself alone.
But the young chef Thomas kept trying, trying to open the hardest layer of self-protection on Anna's body! Eventually, Anna got along well with him, and the young lovers fell in love for months and finally held hands and moved in together.
This love is fate's best blessing and gift to Anna's kindness and strength, and they also know that they are destined to be together forever.
A box of memories of childhood and mother
Anna and Thomas got married, and after having children, she put everything she could remember her childhood in a box and hid it deep in the basement.
The box was like a dark box of Anna's feelings, and it had been there deep in the basement for so long that Anna had almost completely forgotten about it. So, when the couple and their newborn moved to a bigger house, sorting through the clutter, Anna was surprised when she found the box again.
This time, she felt she had the courage to open the box and bring those memories, whether happy or painful, back into her mind.
When she opened the lid, the first thing she noticed was a huge fake necklace that her mother had left for her. This necklace, the main reason she was able to let go of everything at the most difficult time of that moment, she suddenly developed a deep attachment to something she had never experienced before.
She put it on, and from that moment on, it became something she rarely took off. This reminds her of the difficulties she has overcome, and it also makes her miss her mother, who rarely accompanied her growing up.
On a fateful day, Anna bought some groceries and rode home on her bike. By this time, she had her mother's old necklace, in fact, it had been almost 25 years.
A car accident that fell from the sky
Suddenly, there was a car behind it, coming out of nowhere. The driver seemed to have lost control of the steering wheel and was coming in Anna's direction. She managed to avoid the out-of-control vehicle at the last second, but lost her balance in the process.
Anna fell heavily to the ground and lost consciousness for a moment. When she woke up, someone helped her up.
Fortunately, Anna herself was not seriously injured, leaving only some bruises and bruises.
But her mother's old necklace, the one she was wearing at the time, had shattered to pieces on the ground beneath her. Anna was about to cry, but this was the only bond and thought between Anna and her mother.
But then she noticed something between the fragments of the large pendant.
She reached for it and got a small key. Anna looked at the writing on the side of the key, and the whole world stopped for a moment. There was a sticker on the key with her name on it. How did this key get into the pendant? Why did her mom want her to have it?
On the way home, she thought of only one thing that would give her more answers. In addition to the necklace she inherited from her mother, there was also a picture frame left by her mother, which was the only good relic her mother had left for her so far.
Anna's mother's old picture frame
Anna found her mother's old picture frame, but found nothing but some numbers behind the frame. Her husband, Thomas, looked at the photo and the numbers on the back.
But unlike Anna, he quickly recognized the numbers, which were geographical coordinates! Anna had decided that no matter where the coordinates pointed, she would get there as soon as possible. But luckily, she wouldn't go too far. To their surprise, the coordinates seemed to point to a nearby town, the city where Anna and Thomas lived before moving.
When the exact coordinates were entered into Google Maps, it became clear that the location her mother was trying to find for Anna was an old local bank. That night, Anna and Thomas quickly packed their bags, got into the car, and rushed to the bank as fast as they could.
Arrive at the bank
Anna approached the bank clerk and was so excited that she almost knocked the key on the table, startling another clerk at the counter.
Anna asked him if they had given him the keys, if he could open a safe or something here. The clerk didn't immediately recognize the key, but Anna told him her name. He typed Anna's name on the bank computer and quickly got the results.
The bank set up a safe in Anna's name that was valid for 50 years, and the instructions for the safe were that anyone with a designated key could remove the contents of the cabinet.
The bank clerk accompanied the couple to a warehouse with many small safes. He pointed out which safe the key should be opened, and the staff first checked whether the safe could still be opened with this key after so many years, and then left the warehouse room, leaving them with their own privacy.
At that time, Anna's heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of her chest. The safe was one of the largest in the vault room, and the safe also contained some smaller cardboard boxes with a letter glued to the top of which Anna opened and read it.
Mother Dorothy's last letter to her baby daughter Anna
The letter begins with a letter of apology from her mother, apologizing and deeply blaming herself for not being by Anna's side for not being there for her and protecting her when she was growing up, and for the way she left her.
Her mother, Dorothy, felt guilty about what she had put Anna through, but she felt she had no choice. She felt helpless about the pressure of raising her children and became depressed as a result, and as a result, her relationship with Anna's father quickly deteriorated. Her husband was a sadist.
In the month that Dorothy was ready to leave, she had been in touch with another man who had made her believe that he had fallen in love with her. He assured Anna that if she lived with him, he would find a way to get Anna to join them. He was wealthy and assured her he could handle any legal process.
But she soon realized that she had made a big mistake, because the man didn't want Anna to reunite with her, and the rich man was no better to Dorothy than John.
So Dorothy once again plans to escape, stealing his money. She lied about her death and sent the package to Anna as previously described, which is the end of the letter.
Seeing that the boxes had not been touched since they had been deposited in the bank, it seemed that her mother's plan had succeeded.
The failure of her mother's love and marriage once again made Anna's eyes begin to gush with sad tears.
Mother Dorothy's grave
The couple didn't want the money, so they donated it to charity.
But years later, the bank received a mysterious message that was meant to be sent to the person who had come to open the safe.
It was another set of coordinates, and as Thomas looked at them, he immediately realized what they would find there, the graveyard of Anna's mother.
For Anna, knowing where her mother was buried was more important than any sum of money she left behind. She was able to give her the last respect she deserved, even though it was decades too late for both Dorothy and Anna.
After Anna first found her mother Dorothy's last habitat, the couple stood there for about an hour!
Twenty-five years later, this time Anna was the closest to her mother, but she didn't expect it to be: ten years of life and death, not thinking, unforgettable. Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to say desolate.
When she returned home, Anna vowed to come back here at least once a year to celebrate her mother's birthday and accompany her lonely birth mother for the rest of her life.
