When the wife made a video call to this phone number, she couldn't believe her eyes...

the wife found a stash left by her husband and upon seeing a phone number on the bill she dialed it via video call and froze from the morning started as usual Roger Moore went to work but soon she received a call informing her that her husband had died in a car accident slippery roads black ice lost control and something else that now had no significance how could she believe it Sarah didn't believe for a long time she lived for several months as if he were still there it was especially hard to wake up and realize

a new that he was gone and would never return but how could he not return when they had so many plans when they were supposed to live and Thrive together when his slippers were still under the coat rack just as he left them just come and put them on but he won't come and all his things could be thrown away or given to someone else but she was afraid even to touch them it seemed that if everything remained as it was with Roger then no she wasn't going crazy it was just very difficult to admit

that her husband was no longer there and never would be she would pick up one of his things thinking to throw it away or sell it and then she would carefully put it back in its place what if he comes back asks for it and what will I tell him no let it stay then her husband's things were kept in place just to maintain this foolish belief in the what if in the illusion of that belief it also happened because she was completely alone now yes they had lived almost 15 years together always just the

two of them Roger was an orphan so there was no family Sarah's family had all died before she got married they married out of great love and were very happy they just didn't have children and why they never really figured out for the first 5 years they lived as if they didn't notice their childlessness well if there weren't any there weren't they were so good together then Sarah finally went to see doctors well everything seemed fine they said her husband needed to get checked too and everything was fine with him too but still no children

they hoped that they would still have them because sometimes it happens well they continued to live as they were used to hoping that someday however after celebrating their 15th anniversary together suddenly they seemed to realize that no they wouldn't have children they started talking about the possibility of adoption that's not an easy matter either perhaps not easier than giving birth themselves and there were plenty of arguments between them should they adopt a boy or a girl a baby or an older child in short they discussed a lot and they had already reached an agreement they

had already managed to get permission to adopt a child only the final steps remained and now now she had to come to terms with the thought that she would never have anyone because a single unmarried person would not be allowed to adopt anyone there were enough complete families dreaming of children and who was she now Baron with everyone around her dying well it would have been one thing if it were just her husband but there were no other relatives either so there was nothing to strive to replace those she couldn't protect with this already unfortunate

child of course no one told her that Sarah thought so herself and if she was honest she didn't want anything anymore she was almost 40 soon which means most of her life had already been lived what was left for her there even if she managed to adopt a baby would she be able to raise them could she make them happy in her current state it seemed impossible she couldn't hold on to anything with her powerless hands after Roger's death life froze she went to work came back home but there was nothing else to do at

home and so she didn't do anything already perfectly understanding that her husband had gone forever but still decided to leave things as they were as they were with him one day as if Awakening she looked at herself at the apartment from the outside and was horrified if Roger could see what I've become and our apartment she thought he was such a neat freak and here I let everything go justifying Myself by preserving his memory but would this have been possible with him around what if he sees what if his soul is tormented right now by

what I've become thinking like this Sarah suddenly felt a surge of energy her soul came alive she began to tidy up the apartment which was Dusty and neglected as if no one had lived in it for the past 6 months well actually she hadn't you see she was a widow a lonely woman with no one and nothing left no now everything needed to be restored to its former state to make the home just as it was when her husband was alive the apartment was quite spacious a three-bedroom one so there was a lot of work

to be done but Sarah didn't seem to feel tiredness she rejoiced to see every corner coming back to life filling with air and regaining its former appearance as a fin touch she left the smallest room which had been Roger's study he used to do his work there sometimes spending all weekend and she when she felt bored alone in the apartment sometimes settled into her armchair with a book oh those were Blissful evenings yes it was painful now to enter this room to look at the empty chair where he once sat and at his now empty

desk she gave some papers to her husband's colleagues which might be useful to them now now everything that remained seemed to be of no use to anyone but cleaning was still necessary let it be empty in there but clean they had once dreamed of converting this room into a nursery but now it seemed it would always remain empty or I'll make it my own room Sarah decided as if forgetting that the entire apartment was now hers she started cleaning and in the end began to go through the drawers of the desk in which there was

almost nothing left left except for a few bills rolled up she took out this stash of her husband's smiling so Roger like many men was hiding some money from me well now we'll never know what it was for maybe it was for her as a gift or for some of his own needs ah what difference does it make now there's no way of knowing anymore Sarah removed the elastic band spread out the bills sorted through them and noticed a phone number written on one of the bills there was no doubt that it was Roger who

wrote it she knew her husband's handwriting but why did he write it on the money and what are those symbols written next to it he never did that before there were notebooks for notes or anywhere else he could have written it down maybe he borrowed from someone and didn't have time to return it although none of his acquaintances mentioned that Roger owed them money but maybe out of politeness the amount wasn't that large the only way to find out the truth was to call that number but what would she say Sarah closed the desk drawers

went to her bedroom only then realizing how tired she was but she had done a considerable amount of work she was completely happy with what she had accomplished if not for this mysterious stash and the number written on it to call just to see who would be on the other end of the line she knew many of her husband's friends but today it was already late and tomorrow she planned to tidy herself up over the past 6 months she had let herself go quite a bit so laying the money on the table she headed to

the bathroom thinking that there was nothing particularly special about it she would call tomorrow and find out everything surely everything would be revealed very simply and she would quickly forget about it the next day Sarah visited a beauty salon got a haircut and a manicure she regretted not having time for the rest of the procedures she couldn't wait to make the call although upon waking up she wasn't sure if it was a good idea but it was better to satisfy her curiosity let there be no secrets between her and her deceased husband especially since there

probably weren't any everything would be clarified very simply but some excitement still lingered returning home Sarah took a deep breath and dialed the coveted number activating video call and then what she didn't expect or H for began a woman answered the call not to say she was beautiful quite ordinary about the same age as Sarah of around 40 moreover she was pregnant hello we're not acquainted but I need to change that my name is Mrs Sarah Moore you can just call me Sarah and you are I'm Pamela Hawkins but why do you you want to

get to know me asked the woman surprised but not alarmed she was quite Pleasant and spoke kindly but what connected her to Roger I would like to meet you to talk in person not over the phone you understand don't worry I don't wish you any harm and won't C you any trouble Sarah reassured her I don't even know you see I'm in a situation I hardly go out anywhere I'm already quite far along so maybe you could wait until the baby is born Pamela said with a smile no I'd prefer it sooner my matter isn't

exactly serious and it won't take long but still besides after the baby is born you'll be even busier and would you mind if I come over to you briefly strangely enough Pamela agreed gave her address and said she could be reached now this stranger lived on the other side of town and during the long journey Sarah wed herself up completely she was already sure she was going to meet her husband's mistress and apparently he had been with her for a long time given her Advanced pregnancy at least a year maybe even longer yes it was

not surprising Barren women were often abandoned but why why didn't he tell me anything why did he seriously discuss adopting a child with me was is he planning to leave me later with this adopted baby or planning to leave her with his child oh Roger I never would have thought you were such a master at hiding secrets and I certainly never thought you would betray me after all these years you never gave me any reason to doubt your faithfulness and then suddenly some Pamela appears oh why am I even going to her what do I

want to find out maybe it's better to remain ignorant whatever I find out nothing can be changed changed now it will only torment my soul and not just mine it will cast a shadow on the good name of my own husband but she understood ignorance in her case was not the best option there would be no peace anyway so it's better to know everything right away therefore hesitating like this she still drove to the home of the unfamiliar woman and rang the doorbell Pamela opened it invited her into the apartment without any suspicions but Sarah

was becoming increasingly anxious in the room on the bookshelf she saw a photograph of her husband the same as at her home only without the morning frame or black ribbon she probably doesn't know he's dead poor thing how Carefree doesn't she worry that her lover hasn't visited or called for half a year maybe she didn't even love him at all maybe she doesn't even want the child and she'll give it to me maybe Roger got involved with her for that reason used her as a surrogate mother crazy thoughts raced through her mind but still to

find out the truth she needed to ask but how she decided to start from a distance and who's this she asked Pamela pointing to the portrait your husband no Pamela smiled he's a friend of my husband's a very good man he helped us with Phillip and then when I was left alone and found found myself in a difficult situation but it's been a while since we heard from him his phone isn't answering and what did you want to talk about I wanted to talk about him please don't be upset you shouldn't oh why did I

even come here this is my husband he died 6 months ago Sarah said tormented by having to deliver such bad news and the News apparently was indeed very heavy Pamela said side covered her face with her hands and burst into tears I'm sorry Pamela I'm sorry Sarah exclaimed hugging her and crying too oh I shouldn't have come and talked about this but it happened women's curiosity and suspicion and she told her about what had brought her to this house about Roger's sudden death about the found money about her doubts about her husband's Fidelity and when

I saw that you were expecting a baby I even made up a whole story and now I see that I was wrong I believe you no no Sarah the child is from my own husband I never had anything with your Roger and it couldn't have been but he really was a very good person helped both Phillip and me after what happened to Phillip pamelo waved her hand hopelessly it's such a pity he's gone I feel sorry for you and what about your husband he's not not also Sarah gasped no no of course not he's alive

but he's just unlucky he's in prison no he's not a thug not a criminal just unlucky he stood up for a girl on the street a very young one two guys were bothering her well he defended the girl gave those Scoundrels the good beating but it turns out they were the sons of some bosses Philip didn't do anything wrong to them well he gave them some bruises broke one guy's nose for that he could have gotten 15 days or maybe even nothing at all he's not guilty but these big shots considered it a serious offense

and they also remembered that he had been convicted for some nonsense in his youth oh they took Phillip gave him the full treatment I don't know what would have become of me if it weren't for Roger I don't have any family left my mother was ill for a long time and I took care of her so I got married not very young only after her passing but we still decided to have a child philli and I really want kids after crying enough and talking about everything they parted as friends Sarah decided that now she should

help the person her husband cared for she didn't even think about Roger having an affair with Pamela anymore the woman was completely honest with her telling her everything without hiding anything Sarah felt sorry for her late and difficult pregnancy no Husband by her side and no family either and even the only person she could rely on was gone how could Sarah leave her she gave her the money she found in her husband's desk promised to visit and asked her to call her in case of any trouble Pamela don't hesitate call me I'll accompany you to

the maternity hospital I'll meet you there and we'll buy everything necessary for the baby I'm not rich of course but I won't leave you don't doubt it and for this your child will be kind of like a nephew or godson to me I don't have any of my own thank you Sarah I'll try not to bother you too much but it's so much easier now don't think that I need the money I just lack the support and now I think I'm not alone in the world and my child will have someone to rely on if

anything happens Pamela thanked her Sarah was not lying she was genuinely pleased with this acquaintance and grateful to Roger for it she felt that now she was not alone she had loved ones who needed her help in other words Sarah had someone to live for she enjoyed going to baby stores but didn't buy anything remembering that it's not good luck to buy things for a baby in advance however she enjoyed looking at the delicate tiny clothes cloes toys and other necessities for the baby how often she used to do this before still hoping to become

a mother now she had no such hope but still with someone else's child she would be able to enjoy it it was already known that a boy would be born and Pamela said that they decided to name him Leo with her husband but unfortunately their friendship was shortlived one morning Sarah called Pamela and from her voice it was clear that something was was wrong Sarah it's starting for me the ambulance is already on the way they'll probably take me straight to the maternity hospital she said tearfully oh sweetheart don't worry everything will be fine you

know that I'll go to the maternity hospital right away too I'll be there don't worry and she quickly called the taxi although she realized that she wouldn't be able to help in any way after all she wouldn't even be allowed into the delivery room and if she were well at least it would give her some peace of mind knowing that pamelo was already under the care of doctors and everything would be fine with her and the baby although the birth of little Leo was expected only in 2 weeks but maybe it's not so critical however

she was met with terrible news at the maternity Hospital's information desk are you the relative of the mother in labor they asked Sarah sympathetically yes the only one what happened to her she asked frightened the situation is very serious doctors are fighting for the lives of both the mother and the baby but Pamela didn't make it the boy survived his life and health were out of danger but he was orphaned immediately after birth what to do Sarah had to take on the organization of the funeral and caring for the baby of course she couldn't prove

her relation relationship with Pamela there wasn't any but besides her the deceased didn't have any close relatives either so Sarah started the process of becoming the legal guardian she also informed philli in the correctional facility about what happened as he should have been allowed to say goodbye to his wife Sarah didn't know him at all only from her friend's stories but still felt sorry for him not only was he imprisoned for seemingly no reason leaving his pregnant wife but he also found out about her death at such a moment she needed to instill in him

at least some confidence that everything would be fine with his son it was hard to even imagine what would be on his mind after he learned the terrible news of his wife's death well at least Leo was doing fine the boy was really healthy even before Sarah could arrange all the paperwork they left him under the care of doctors at the maternity hospital here she could breathe a small sigh of relief since she had previously been preparing for the adoption of a child she still had the documents she knew where and how to apply she

hoped that everything would go well and she would become the guardian of the child at least until the father returned and then who knows maybe he'll leave the boy to me Sarah thought hopefully things went very wrong for Phillip learning about his wife's death he was sure that he would be allowed to attend the funeral after all he didn't have much time left to serve and the reason was more than valid but the head of the correctional facility firmly said sorry Phillip I can't let you go yes the reason is weighty but you have a

violation here and not only because of that it's far to go you won't make it anyway that's one and two I can't afford to send a convoy for you yes they recently let one guy go to his father's funeral but he lived nearby besides they took two people to the trial at the same time that's why they allowed that but to drive half the country because of one person so I offer my condolences and all that and for these days so as not to bother I can put you in a separate cell maybe even give

you something to remember her by but there's no way I can take you there and back Philip understood that arguing in such a situation was pointless but he couldn't not come to his wife's funeral taking advantage of the temporary relaxation in the regime he decided to escape yes he realized that he might not make it he understood that he might be caught and most likely in this case his sentence would be increased but he couldn't just sit and not try to do something he was tormented by the injustices of life that had been coming down

on him since childhood so even without much hope of success he ran away and at first it even seemed that everything was going well he managed to get out of the fence only the most dangerous place remained to be crossed the field where a person could be seen from all sides The Fugitive was spotted by a guard standing on a tower he acted according to the instructions first shot into the air then aimed at The Fugitive he didn't think that they would detain this person anyway the main thing for the young performer was to impress

the authorities as the detention guaranteed an unscheduled promotion and leave yes he was lucky but Philip wasn't the bullet hit his spine the Convoy received a well-deserved reward and went home satisfied but Phillip he was taken to the infirmary then transferred to the hospital in the city but even there the doctors only saved his life but his health no one would bother with a colleague who had no prospects other than returning to prison but there was no point in keeping him there either who would take care of a non-walking invalid who required constant care they

didn't even bother to try him for attempted Escape so he didn't stay behind bars for long Philip was acquitted and released in a wheelchair he came home hoping only to visit Pamela's grave and at least Bid Farewell to her there and of course see his son there was no other reason for him to live he knew that Leo was now with some friend of his wife's and hoped that she was a kind woman who wouldn't arreat his little one for him being fre free meant clearing up some matters for instance resolving the issue with the

apartment and settling scores with life why live on after everything that had happened no relatives no close ones just a son whom he hadn't seen and who wasn't even a year old yet why would he be needed by the child just a hindrance a burden well if he lived with a woman who cared for the baby and wouldn't abandon him and he Phillip didn't intend to impose himself on anyone struggling to reach Sarah's apartment he rang the bell when she opened the door he introduced himself realizing that a stranger wasn't obliged to Rejoice at his

arrival but she welcomed the guest warmly introduced him to Leo and seated him at the table first she talked about her son about how he was growing what the doctor said about his health and development she showed him the room equipped for the boy she was afraid to touch on the main question understood better than anyone how painful this question would be for a person who had lost his love but it was necessary to talk about it Pamela told me about you but not much unfortunately we met shortly before the birth well you understand she

was waiting for you it's a Pity I didn't talk to her more but I didn't know it would turn out like this I thought we had plenty of time ahead after all I wanted to be there to help her with with the baby I was completely alone after my husband's death and he also died suddenly I don't even know how you met him and why I didn't know anything about you how did that happen well it's all very simple we're brothers he's older I'm 2 years younger but we were separated in childhood and found each

other shortly before I was convicted Philip replied how is that possible I always thought Roger had no relatives and then suddenly a brother a blood relative Sarah was amazed yes Blood Brothers we didn't know our father and our mother well she can't be called an exemplary mother either when I was five and Roger was seven she died I don't know why we were too young to be told and there really were no other relatives so we held on to each other tightly understanding that we were the only family we had we were put in an

orphanage Philip fell silent lost in thought apparently immersed in memories I knew Roger grew up in an orphanage but he never talked about having a brother how did you two separate were you adopted my husband told me he ran away from the orphanage more than once but he didn't talk much about it I guess he didn't want to reopen Old Wounds good kids don't run away from good places right no we weren't adopted but running away yes we decided to that's how fate separated us it was quite nice there no better than with our mother

but we wanted to go to the Sea we dreamed about it shortly before her death mom suddenly started talking about how we were going south soon it's great there warm fruits grow right on the street the man smiled sadly well we didn't go with her didn't make it and while living in the orphanage Roger and I were dreaming about going there together it all seemed pretty simple if it's warm there then a home isn't needed if fruits grow right on the street then there's no need for money for food since you just pick and eat

those fruits and since we're still little we can go there without much trouble we'll lie and say we got lost that we're going home so we stole some bread from the canteen to have something to eat on the way and at the station but then doubt struck me which train goes south to the Sea we didn't even know geography I started persuading my brother to turn back but he wouldn't budge you're a coward Phillip if you don't want to then I'll go alone and you stay in your orphanage I'll figure something out on my own

the main thing is to go they'll take us somewhere the train was supposed to leave soon Roger got on it and I stood there crying it was scary to go scary to stay scary to lag behind my brother and I was mad at him while I was standing there crying the train left I wandered around thinking Roger would come back but the police detained me the orphanage had already reported the children missing they brought me back and Roger wasn't found how could they find him they asked me where my brother went what could I say

I got on a train which one I don't know I went to the Sea which one what can a six-year-old kid tell that's how we got lost in this world he later told me how he spent the night across the country from train to train from City to city and he made it to the Sea then he wanted to come back but didn't know how anyway he spent that summer surrendered to the first orphanage he found but it was far from our native lands and from me they didn't bother bringing him back and then it

all just sort of faded away for both of us no I remembered that I had a brother somewhere but I didn't know how to find him so you grew up in that first orphanage Sarah sighed over the brother's tragic fate yeah that's where I lived finished school vocational school then I was convicted in my youth spent a year in a detention center for stupidity lived on after that quietly hoped to straighten out my fate even got married thought I'd have a family but my first marriage was a disaster my wife refused to have children then

she started partying left I thought maybe it wasn't my destiny to live with family or with loved ones apparently that's the cross I beared to being alone and then I met Pamela Philip lowered his head lost in thought life hasn't spared either you or Roger we got married as adults too we dreamed of children but it didn't work out we wanted to adopt but we didn't have time my Roger died and I knew little about his past now I have no one to ask about it well given the circumstances I can only envy him look

at what I'm left with legs that should just be cut off and thrown away don't worry Sarah I won't burden you I'll come by sometimes to check on Leo have you decided to keep him permanently of course I love him as my own but I'm not going to hide you from him of course he should know his father's name and what about you are you planning to live alone Sarah was surprised who else am I going to live with if I can live live at all I'm not exactly tenant material as you can see Philip

didn't share all his plans with her and to be honest he himself didn't know what he would do next Sarah seemed to understand why be so bloomy you have someone to live for and you know what stay with us for now there's plenty of room and we won't be a bother to each other and if anything you can take care of your son and anyway it's easier together as for your condition you need to get your pension sorted out now then see a doctor as they treat a lot of things nowadays Sarah tried to cheer

him up they do treat things yes for money and as you understand I don't have any and wanton but there are quotas we need to find out everything and we'll do it together that's why I say stay and you can find work it's definitely something to do your hands work fine after all Philip didn't resist for long he really couldn't imagine living alone and honestly he didn't want to be separated from his son while they were talking with Sarah the boy was sleeping but when he woke up he reached out to his father he must

have recognized him so they started living together Sarah wasn't lying she enthusiastic Ally began to inquire about the Cotter for Philip's surgery but she was told that priority was given to children and promising citizens of working age and what about your relative twice convicted and the prospects for Recovery are very doubtful they explained to her well how doubtful are they the doctor said anything's possible we just shouldn't delay the surgery besides he's a single father he has a little son so he gets a pension and the son too for the loss of his mother and

you're his Guardian so of course we'll put him in line but it's hard to promise anything wait if anything we'll let you know Sarah came home upset but Philip met her with good news he found a job and a pretty good one at that it happened quite by accident he called an old acquaintance who knew him he worked in a car park and said they were currently looking for drivers I'm telling you my legs don't work how can I be a driver besides I've never heard of disabled people being eagerly hired for work Philip waved

off what's the big deal you'll drive a car with hand controls It's Perfectly Normal we hire disabled people too one guy he's mute and deaf he drives so don't doubt it Phillip they'll hire you and they did hire Phillip he turned out to be a decent driver plus being a former convict without legs some of his colleagues occasionally expressed disatisfaction is this our Humanity tolerance or whatever it's called they'll start giving him concessions now and better assignments don't doubt it and they'll boast about how well they treat everyone hiring disabled people without discrimination it's a

plus for the boss and for this wheelchair bound fellow too but it's just extra hassle for us some drivers grumbled among themselves they were wrong nobody made any special concessions for him Philip sometimes overheard conversations among his colleagues though no one spoke directly to him about it but he couldn't help but feel the attitude towards him what could he do he resigned himself to it tried to work without complaints that's all he needed to earn money to support his son and maybe for the surgery there was no hope of saving up such an amount nor

of ever getting that surgery but money was needed anyway sah talked him out of selling the apartment he lived in with Pamela no now's not the time to sell real estate I'm sure you'll recover and then what without your own place Leo will grow up won't he need an apartment for now we can rent it out that's all that's also money use that to save save up for the surgery and don't lose hope for the Cota either so they did they rented out the apartment Philip stayed to live with Sarah and the baby they lived

together harmoniously and Philip tried not only not to show but even not to admit to himself that he had fallen in love with this woman as for Sarah she didn't think about love she was just happy for the first time since her husband's death she believed that she could live not alone as an unwanted Widow quietly Aging in her loneliness now she was a happy family woman with a child who loved her like a mother and with a man who wasn't her husband but also needed her in a fit of kindness one day she couldn't

resist and even did what she had been thinking about for a long time but hadn't dared to do she took in a large homeless dog maybe it wasn't the most prudent move to bring a dog into the apartment where a little child and a disabled person lived but she couldn't bear to see how clear intelligent trained but apparently unwanted dog wandered the streets dirty and hungry Sarah sometimes fed him and he apparently recognized her as his owner how could she abandon him she brought him home washed him took him to a Veterinary Clinic where he

was examined and given the necessary vaccinations so their family got rocky a faithful guard and protector philli also grew to love the dog although he laughed at Sarah's sudden desire to make every everyone happy you've already got enough on your plate with Leo and me and now a dog too this Rocky also demands attention and everything else how do you not get tired of all this he marveled but I'm sure he's not at all Superfluous in our home nobody just appears in someone else's life for no reason apparently it was meant to be that we

have a dog she could only reply philli didn't argue Rocky really wasn't Superfluous in their lives he gave them a certain sense of assurance that the future held no dangers however if not with danger Philip did encounter some unpleasantness actually it was a common occurrence in the life of every Taxi Driver as they have to deal with all kinds of people everyone can tell you something from their practice about scammers and just unreasonable people taxi drivers were robbed attempted to be killed and drawn into criminal stories once two strangers got into Philip's car who he

immediately didn't like they were nervous Twitchy didn't specify a destination they just asked to drive faster and they would tell him where to drop them off later Philip didn't know how to get rid of such passengers but everything happened on its own the men suddenly jumped out of the car as soon as they saw a police car ahead Philip side with relief he got rid of them and that was that but it turned out he hadn't gotten rid of them completely in their haste apparently they forgot a bag on the back seat opening it Philip

saw bundles of money this was serious apparently he had transported criminals who had committed a robbery it would be naive to think they simply forgot about their loot they would definitely try to find him and get the money back but the amount was quite substantial it would be enough for the surgery and subsequent recovery which was Philip's main dream so the Temptation was great not having decided what to do he came home with the bag to consult with Sarah upon seeing the money she was frightened there's a lot here no Phillip you shouldn't consider them

yours surely these were criminals and they will want them back you won't get away from them later I don't even know what's better to report to the police or wait for these Scoundrels to come and take the money themselves and I don't know either I don't expect any kindness from the police with my past but I wouldn't want to deal with Bandits either all right let's wait perhaps tomorrow we'll come up with something but they didn't have to wait until morning neither did those who left such a sum in the taxi the criminals remembered the

driver and the car's license plate finding Phillip was no trouble Sarah and Phillip were already getting ready for bed when there was a demanding knock on the door it's the them Sarah guest I'll call the police and you open the door but try to keep them engaged in some conversation Sarah went into the room Philip wheeled up to the door and opened it yes the very same passengers were standing on the doorstep and the expression on their faces didn't bode well ah and he's also legless one said disdainfully so uncle are you going to give

us back the forgotten things in the car or are you going to whistle for us that you turned them into the lost and found Bureau are you talking about the bag left in the car I'm not trained to whistle but I did hand it over as required so you've come to the wrong place contact the taxi company and maybe they'll return it to you well if you can prove it's yours he replied firmly smooth talker he handed it over we'll see about that show us we know for sure it's stashed Somewhere With You the thugs

turned the wheelchair boldly entering the apartment keep it down there's a child sleeping there Philip said well have some pity on your kid give it all back yourself otherwise we'll have to turn this place upside down do you think we want to rumage through this mess but we're not used to losing our own we're more into taking someone else's so man I don't advise resisting or you might end up without hands philli realized ing the situation was taking a serious turn was about to shout for Sarah to give the damn bag to the thugs but

the situation unexpectedly changed from the corner of the hallway Rocky darted out like a black lightning whom no one had paid attention to but the dog was watching the guests and realizing that danger threatened the owner he lunged at the enemies clamping powerful jaws on one of them's arm there was shouting chaos Sarah rushed out of the room alerting everyone that the police police were already on their way Leo who had woken up started crying in Fright fortunately the law enforcement officers didn't keep them waiting long they had already been informed about the robbery of

the private exchange office and were looking for the criminals they were arrested Philip handed over the bag Sarah wept over Rocky whom the thugs had managed to injure after all the formalities were observed the police left Philip began to calm his son down and Sarah have called for emergency veterinary care she was very worried about Rocky fortunately as it turned out the dog's life was not in danger and after receiving treatment the veterinarians left Sarah and Phillip trying to calm down after what had happened sat in the kitchen to have tea oh Phillip you should

quit this job it doesn't just give you money it brings so much worry how will I feel seeing you off and waiting for you afterwards she said Philip couldn't agree with that well no being without work isn't good either what about my pension and the money from renting out the apartment I still haven't lost hope of saving up for the surgery it seems we won't be waiting for quotas in the next 100 years and about the dangers they don't happen that often it happened to me once so I guess I've reached my quarter of unpleasantness

well agree oh you always joke sarahi disagreeing with this optimistic statement and it turned out that the story with the stolen money had a continuation during the investigation Philip learned about the owner of the robbed exchange office Charles Hudson he was an elderly impressive man he was very impressed by the disabled man's deed who didn't appropriate the money and without fearing the bandits did everything to ensure that the entire sum was returned to the honor he thanked Phillip sincerely but Philip had no intention of hiding anything and attributing non-existent merits to himself oh come on

I'm not that much of a hero at first I did consider keeping it all for myself but you know for the right cause after all I need the surgery and it's not cheap so Sarah pointed me in the right direction and my protector became Rocky my dog he's the one who suffered the most still getting bandaged up to this day Charles on the other hand came to visit Phillip and Sarah not so much to meet the whole family but with an offer that couldn't be refused sitting at the table with the hosts he said I

you see am a completely lonely man that's just how it turned out and not only that I recently found out that I don't have much time left to live no it's true cancer terminal stage no chances no treatment in this condition will help anymore it'll only prolong the agony and that's of no use to me if it's faded then better sooner rather than later yes what am I talking about I decided to give Philip money for the surgery and to put him in a good Clinic where they'll definitely help you Phillip are still young you

have a whole life ahead of you besides you have a son and he needs a father the man paused lowering his head I had two of them Sons I mean well there would have been but I was too busy with my Affairs to notice they existed I chose a mother for them who was completely unsuitable for the children and as a result I ended up alone so here I'll help you out you're like Redemption for my sins or something like that philli and Sarah couldn't believe their luck was this really happening it turned out yes

Charles wasn't joking about such an important matter and soon he began to implement his plan Philip was admitted to the hospital and treatment began the elderly man who organized everything was constantly informed and stayed in touch with Sarah letting her know how everything was going she didn't have much time to go to the hospital herself she had a child to take care of and she understood that a lonely elderly let alone terminally ill man simply lacked company she started inviting him over just to talk talk to spend time in a calm family atmosphere Charles didn't

object on the contrary he was grateful for it he really missed having a family from his rather sparing stories she already knew that he had no personal life for a long time yes as they say I always bet on the wrong horse I saw the purpose of my life in earning money developing business and it seemed like I succeeded and only then did I think what do I need at all four turns out neither money nor anything else is needed nothing can help with this damn loneliness he admitted sadly and so were you never married

Sarah asked well how to say I mean it seemed like I was about to like I was already married but it turned out again not to the right one and not in the right way and not for anything many years ago I married a girl from a not so simple very very influential family well what could go wrong but everything did her parents married her off to me to tame her because their daughter went wild well I also thought everything would be fine we got married she gave birth to a son but she immediately passed

him on to Nanny's she didn't need the child at all she even seemed disgusted by him and then life completely fell apart her father was imprisoned with confiscation her mother died my wife was left with nothing and she was pregnant I thought we'll live but where she was used to another life she didn't need it anymore I became the main obstacle and the little son became one too she gave birth to a second child and ran away with both kids at first I felt relieved living with her was very difficult but then I realized what

about the kids but I couldn't find her anymore she left one joined another I only found her 3 years later but it was too late she was already completely degraded and the children Sarah asked they died perished she said she started weaving something about some accident in which she also got hurt well and money of course asking for it in short that's where it all ended I didn't try to arrange my life anymore more there were of course some meetings but in every woman I saw only greed and deceit maybe I was wrong but it's

too late to talk about it now so I live as a recluse and until recently everything suited me but now horrible it's even strange that all of us you me my husband Philip have lived full of such complex tragic events I mean Roger and I lived well only there were no children and then died unexpectedly tragically in an accident but his childhood wasn't easy either their brothers with Phillip they grew up in orphanages just in different ones wait Roger and Phillip but my children were named that too and who was their mother do you know

anything Sarah Charles suddenly became worried I don't know anything and they themselves knew very little her name was Helen and it seems she died and do you think they could be Sarah was at a loss but such coincidences don't happen exactly they don't names Destinies everything matches up well at least something from my husband's past survived documents photographs everything is very important I'll try to find them now but I'm not sure if I can she said realizing how important all of this was for Charles there was very little left of course even the birth certificate

was lost but a photograph of Roger and Philip's mother miraculously survived and of course in the woman depicted in it Charles recognized his ex-wife Helen unbelievable I mourned my children for so many years and they're alive oh not all of them why why did she deceive me how could I say such things about my own son Sons the elderly man couldn't understand grabbing his head and what now one is gone the other has survived so much that it's unimaginable oh all because of that foolish whim of their own mother I would never have left them

calm down Charles Sarah embraced him but you found not only your son but also your grandson moreover you helped your son so much thanks to you he'll soon be coming home on his own two feet we should be happy and Philip will be so happy he never knew he had a father let alone such a good loving one yes you right I need to go see him tell him oh I don't know if he'll be happy because maybe he's been thinking his whole life that I abandoned him if only I had known they were alive

oh Charles couldn't calm down the next day everyone including Leo whom his grandfather now didn't let go of went to the hospital to see Phillip the surgery he underwent was successful he hadn't gotten up yet but progress was being made sensation had returned to his legs he could move them the news that the surgery was paid for not by just anyone but by his biological father stunned him he was ecstatic saying he never blamed his orphanhood on anyone I don't hold a grudge against my mother either you never know how life turns out Philip said

now we'll never know what drove her I think she paid for everything herself it's a Pity of course she could have lived well until now but what can you do about it that's for sure now she's facing another judgment and now Phillip you need to recover without fail you understand how hard it is for a son to live without a father wait a minute something just occurred to me Charles suddenly realized so does this mean I don't have to die now are you still doubting absolutely not exclaimed Sarah you have a grandson growing up he

must know his roots well for the sake of this young man I'll live a little longer promised the grandfather doctors told me about some new methods that can be tested and I didn't believe it but now I have to yes Father getting treatment is difficult but necessary where else can we go I'm trying too after all there are people to live for and I also want to see what life has in store Philip laughed after some time he returned home not quite on his own figet with crutches but still not in a wheelchair which he

thought he would never return to he continued his recovery and was confident that he would be able to go fishing and play football with his son and take Grandpa with us right Leo he asked his son and he agreed Charles did indeed take his health seriously promising that he would definitely wait if not for Leo's wedding then certainly for Sarah and Philip's marriage ceremony when are you two love birds getting married he teased it's obvious that you love each other what's the holdup you're already a family your son will soon be going to kindergarten and

you still seem like strangers to each other we're not strangers at all quite the opposite but as for the wedding soon dad soon Philip said seriously as soon as I realize that I can get married without crutches then immediately what's the rush people might think we have some sort of calculated marriage a beauty marrying a and it happened 8 months later philli eventually managed to walk without assistance he and Sarah I've got married Charles spared no expense on the wedding even though the young couple wanted a much quieter celebration kids have a conscience he reproached

them this is the first time I'll be attending my son's wedding how about some modesty everything should be first class so that they remember it for a long time and that's exactly what happened the wedding was magnificent although not very crowded as the newly wits had no relatives but there were friends and faithful Rocky
