It was a sunny weekend, and I was planning to go on a business trip, but suddenly I remembered that I still had a lot of chores to take care of, so I canceled the trip and planned to stay at home to deal with these things.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by the strong smell of food, and I found that the table was filled with my favorite dishes, which looked like a rare meal.
You're back. She whispered.
What's going on? I asked, confused.
I know I'm doing poorly, but I'm really trying to change. Her voice was filled with helplessness and apology.
But can't we really work harder on each other? Can we still give each other a chance? I began to say anxiously.
She shook her head, "The problems between us can't be solved overnight, I think it's better for us to face them separately."
I froze in place, my mouth open, but I couldn't find any reason to convince her. I suddenly felt like I had lost something important, like I had lost the direction of my life.
For the days that followed, I was in silence and confusion. I tried to fill the void left by my marriage by working overtime and socializing, but I couldn't get rid of the painful memories of my failed marriage.
One night, I received a **. It was my father calling, and his voice was a little anxious.
Kid, something happened to your mother. My father's words made my whole body nervous.
I immediately rushed to the hospital and found my mother lying in a hospital bed, her face pale and looking very weak. The doctor said she was brought in because of heart problems.
Doctor, how is she? Can it get better? I asked the doctor anxiously.
The doctor frowned and said, "Her condition is very unstable and she needs to recuperate for a while. Family members should pay attention to observation and contact the hospital at any time if they have any questions.
I decided to stay in the hospital with my mother. My father and sister are also in the hospital. At this time, I noticed that there seemed to be some kind of inexplicable connection between the originally estranged family members, and we began to take the opportunity to get together and tell interesting stories and past events.
A few days later, my wife also learned of my mother's condition, and although we had been estranged for a long time, she resolutely rushed to the hospital.
I was also a little embarrassed to see her, but my mother took her hand and smiled and said, "It's good that you're all here." ”
As a family, we sat around my mother's bedside, as if we had regained our old affection. During this time, everyone was trying their best to take care of my mother, and I felt that the connection between my family became stronger.
However, a sudden heavy rain once again tore apart this seemingly repaired relationship. On that day, my wife and my father were in the hospital with my mother, and I had to leave early because of work.
When I returned to the hospital, I saw my mother sitting quietly alone on the edge of the hospital bed, her voice low: "Let's go, I want to be alone for a while."
I nodded silently and turned and walked out of the room. In the hallway, I noticed my wife and father standing with solemn faces.
What happened? I asked hurriedly.
The wife's face was a little complicated, and she whispered: "I have a little disagreement with your father, and he doesn't understand what I do. ”
My heart tightened, and I had a vague sense that things were not simple. The mother's condition has not yet stabilized, but new conflicts have arisen in the family.
I was trying to calm my heart, but by chance I received a letter from an unknown sender.
My eyes widened in disbelief. My wife and I have never had children, what is the matter with this letter? There is also a strange woman's ** in the envelope, she looks sweet, and her eyes reveal a trace of homesickness.
When I groped my way to investigate the matter, I found a fact that I had never realized - I actually had an illegitimate daughter.
I was amazed that I didn't know anything about such a big secret.
