The Mystery of Life and Death: The Lost and Found Son
On a stormy night, I received a call from the hospital with the cold and brutal news on the other end of the line – that my two sons had tragically drowned. At that moment, it was as if all my strength had been drained, and the world collapsed before my eyes. However, just as I was immersed in endless grief, an unexpected news exploded like thunder, rekindling a spark of hope for me.
Late that night, the lights in the hospital were particularly glaring. I stood outside the operating room, distraught, praying that the children would be safe. However, fate played a cruel joke on me. The doctor walked out of the operating room with a heavy weight and told me that my two sons had been drowning for so long that they could not recover. I was overwhelmed with grief and couldn't come to terms with this brutal truth.
Just as I was about to collapse, a doctor suddenly leaned into my ear and whispered, "Madam, the third son you suspected of having a difficult birth may still be alive." I jerked my head up, my eyes wide, and I looked at him in disbelief. The doctor nodded affirmatively again and said, "We recently found a missing medical record showing that your third child did not completely lose signs of life at that time. Due to the urgency of the situation, we may have made a wrong judgment. ”
The news struck me like a bolt of lightning and made me crawl out of the abyss of despair in an instant. I clutched the doctor's sleeve tightly and asked in a trembling voice, "And where is he now?" Is he okay? The doctor comforted me and said, "He is now in good health at our children's welfare home." However, due to the complexity of the situation at the time, we need to further confirm his identity and circumstances. ”
When I heard this, I was so excited that I almost cried. I immediately asked to see my son, who might still be alive. In the room of the orphanage, I met the child who had been mistaken for the lost child. He was so cute-looking, with bright eyes that sparkled with curiosity. I hugged him tightly, tears welling up in my eyes.
In the days that followed, I began the difficult road of verification. I contacted the doctors, nurses, and staff at the orphanage to try to restore the true identity of the forgotten child. After much effort, I finally found conclusive evidence that he was indeed my third son.
However, when I tried to tell my ex-husband the news, he chose to run away. He couldn't accept this sudden news, let alone face his misjudgment. We had a heated argument and conflict that eventually led to our divorce.
Life after the divorce was not easy, and I not only had to deal with the pain of losing my two sons, but I also had to work hard to care for and raise this lost son. However, whenever I see his bright eyes and innocent smile, I feel immensely happy and satisfied. I know that no matter how many difficulties and challenges there are in the future, I will live strong for him.
As time went on, I began to gradually come out of the shadows and pick myself up again. I started to get involved in community activities and volunteer work to help those in need. I also began to re-examine my life and values, and learned to cherish and appreciate every moment in my life even more.
In the process, I also gradually reconciled with my ex-husband. We can't go back in time, but we can work for this common son. We began to take care of him, educate him, and accompany him to grow up. There are also fewer quarrels and contradictions between us, replaced by more understanding and support.
Today, my son has grown up and become a great talent. He inherited our excellent qualities and values, and made great achievements in society. Whenever I think of that stormy night and that forgotten child, I feel extremely blessed and proud. Because I know that it was that unexpected news and that difficult experience that made me regain the meaning and value of life.
