Chapter 4: A Mother's Silent Sacrifice
The next morning...
Tony visited the tiny apartment where Helen and Ethan lived.
The walls were cracked.
The furniture was old.
But every corner was spotless.
Ethan proudly showed Tony his room.
"My mom says we don't need expensive things."
"We just need each other."
Tony fought back tears.
He noticed dozens of certificates hanging on the wall.
Employee of the Month.
Perfect Attendance.
Community Volunteer.
Helen had quietly donated part of her small paycheck to children without families.
Tony finally understood.
She had never stopped loving people...
Even after life had been cruel to her.
He turned toward Helen.
"I can't change the past."
"But if you'll let me..."
"I want to spend the rest of my life making up for every day we lost."
Helen looked at Ethan.
The little boy smiled.
"I've always wanted a dad."
