The woman has terminal cancer and confesses to her husband that her 15-year-old son is her first love, and her husband says: The son was not born to you.
My name is Li Qiang, I am 55 years old this year, I have been married to my wife Chen Na for 15 years, and I have a 15-year-old son Li Hao. We live in Beijing, I am a middle-level cadre of a state-owned enterprise, Chen Na is a manager of a foreign trade company, Li Hao is an outstanding student of a key high school, and our life is plain and beautiful.
Chen Na and I met at a party, she was the sister of my classmate, she had just graduated from college at the time, I had been working for a few years, we fell in love at first sight and quickly established a relationship. I feel like she's my lifelong partner, and she also feels like I'm her prince charming, and our relationship is sweet and stable.
After we got married, we always wanted to have a child, but we never got pregnant, we went to the hospital, did some tests, the doctor said that we were fine, maybe the pressure was too much, let us relax, rest more, exercise more, maybe there will be good news. We didn't pay much attention to it, and we felt that sooner or later it would come, so we continued to work hard and live hard.
Until one day, Chen Na suddenly told me that she was pregnant, I was crazy with joy, I hugged her, kissed her, and said that this is the best gift from God, we should cherish it, take care of the baby, and prepare for our baby. Chen Na is also very happy, she said that she also wants this child, she said that she will be a good mother and give our children a warm home.
Our child was born, a boy, and we named him Li Hao, which means that we hope that he can be healthy, happy, ambitious, and courageous. We treat him as our treasure, take care of him meticulously, educate him, accompany him, watch him grow up day by day, become smart and cute day by day, and our happiness cannot be expressed in words.
Li Hao is also very sensible, very filial, he has loved learning since he was a child, loves sports, is very polite, very responsible, he has excellent grades in school, is loved by teachers and classmates, he is also very obedient at home, very considerate, often help us do some housework, buy us some small gifts, let us touch, thanks.
Our family is so harmonious and happy, we feel that we are the luckiest people in the world, we feel that nothing can break our beauty, we feel that our future will be even better.
Until one day, everything changed.
It was a sunny weekend, Chen Na took back the company's physical examination report, her face was very pale, her eyes were very frightened, her voice was very trembling, she said to me, she had advanced ovarian cancer, only three months to live, she said, she didn't want to die, she still wanted to live, she still wanted to be with me, she also wanted to watch Li Hao grow up, she said, she didn't know what to do, she said, she was scared, very painful, very helpless.
I listened and felt the sky fall apart, I couldn't believe it was true, I grabbed her hand and asked her if she was joking, if she was mistaken, if there was any way to cure it, I said, I will not let her die, I will accompany her, I will protect her, I will find the best doctor, the best medicine, the best way, I said, I believe that she will get better, I said, I love her, I need her, I can't live without her.
Chen Na looked at me and shed tears, she said, she also loves me, she also needs me, she can't live without me, she said, she doesn't want to die either, she also wants to live, she said, she is willing to work with me, fight together, fight this terrible disease together, she said, she believes in our love, believe in our strength, believe in our miracles.
We immediately went to the hospital and started chemotherapy, but it didn't work well, Chen Na's body was getting weaker and weaker, her hair was falling out, her ** was dull, her weight was lost, her smile was gone, her pain was increasing, and her hope was slim. I stayed by her side every day, trying my best to comfort her, cheer her up, encourage her, give her warmth, give her confidence, and give her happiness, but I was also desperate, helpless, powerless, painful, and fearful.
Li Hao also knew his mother's condition, he was very sad, very sad, very reluctant, very worried, he also often came to see his mother, brought some small toys, small gifts, small surprises to his mother, he also tried his best to comfort his mother, make his mother happy, tell his mother his study, his life, his dreams, he also said to his mother, he loves his mother, he needs his mother, he can't live without his mother, he said, he believes that his mother will get better, he said, he will study hard, live well, be filial piety, grow up well, he said, He will reassure his mother, make his mother proud, and make his mother happy.
Chen Chenna looked at Li Hao, so moved that she couldn't speak, she hugged him hard, kissed him, said that he was her baby, her pride, her hope, she said, she is very lucky, very happy, very satisfied, to have such a good son, she said, she will not give up, she will persevere, she will work hard, she will walk with him through every day, every night, every minute, every second.
In this way, our family supports each other, encourages each other, warms each other under the shadow of illness, and our love is firmer, deeper, and purer under the test of suffering, and our life is more cherished, more grateful, and more beautiful under the helpless reality.
Chen Na knew she didn't have long to live, and one day, she took my hand and wept and said she had a secret to tell me, a secret she had been hiding for fifteen years.
She said that after graduating from high school, she and her first love lost control after drinking and became pregnant with a child, that is, Li Hao, who was not my biological son, she didn't dare to tell me at the time, and she didn't dare to beat the child, so she secretly gave birth to him, and then married me and treated him as our child.
I listened, it felt like I was struck by lightning, I couldn't accept this fact, I felt betrayed, deceived, I yelled at her, asked her why she did this to me, she cried and said, she loves me, she doesn't want to lose me, she also loves Li Hao, she doesn't want him to be without a father.
I was trembling with anger, I wanted to leave her, but I couldn't bear it, I knew she was dying, and I didn't want to upset her, I calmed down and told her that I also had a secret to tell her, a secret that I had been hiding for fifteen years.
I said, I was actually infertile, I did a check-up before I got married, and I knew that I couldn't have children, but I didn't tell her, because I loved her, I didn't want to disappoint her, I wanted to give her a complete family, so I found a ** woman and gave birth to a child, that is, Li Hao, he is not my biological son, I brought him back and told her that it was our child.
Chen Na listened, stunned, she couldn't believe what I said, she asked me why I did this, I said, I am for her, for our happiness, I also love Li Hao, I treat him as my own son, I don't want him to know the truth.
Chen Na couldn't cry, she hugged me, said she was sorry for me, she thanked me, she said, she always thought that Li Hao was the child of her and her first love, she had always felt guilty about him, she didn't expect that he was actually our child, the crystallization of our love.
I also cried, I said, I don't blame her, I am also sorry for her, I said, we all did something wrong for love, for the sake of the family, but we have no malice, we are all good people, we all deserve to be forgiven, to be understood.
We hugged each other tightly, felt each other's warmth, our tears mixed together, our hearts melted together, we both released years of inhibition, and we all found our true selves.
We decided not to tell Li Hao the truth, we want him to be happy and happy all the time, we want him to know that we are all his parents, we all love him, and we are all proud of him.
Chen Na's condition is getting worse and worse, her breathing is getting weaker and weaker, she is in my arms, and she said to me, she is very happy, very happy, very satisfied, she said, she does not regret, she does not regret, she says, she loves me, loves Li Hao, loves our home, she said, she hopes that I can be strong, can take good care of Li Hao, can start again, and find new happiness.
I kissed her forehead and said to her, I also love her, I love Li Hao, I love our home, I said, I will remember her, I will miss her, I will respect her wishes, I said, I will live well, love Li Hao well, treat myself well, I said, I will make her feel at ease, let her rest assured, let her go peacefully.
At this moment, Li Hao pushed open the door and ran in, he was holding a bouquet of flowers, a greeting card, a box of chocolates, he smiled and said, today is Mother's Day, he wants to surprise his mother, he wants to wish his mother a happy holiday, he wants to tell his mother that he will always love her, always support her, and always accompany her.
He saw the way we looked, stunned for a moment, and then came over and put things on the bedside table, and he asked, Mom, Dad, what's wrong with you, what are you crying about, do you have something to tell me?
We looked at him, and our hearts ached, we didn't know how to answer, we didn't know how to face it, we didn't know how to choose.
All we know is that we love Him, we love each other, we love this home, we love this story, we love this life.
