Maggie thought she knew her quiet life—her kind neighbor, Rebecca, her loving parents, and her steady routines. But when Rebecca, on her deathbed, handed her a wooden box, everything changed. Inside, Maggie uncovered a decades-old secret.
One morning, as Maggie watered her flowers, Rebecca called her urgently. She had been weak for months, and Maggie had been by her side. Now, Rebecca asked her to open a box. Inside, Maggie found a photo of a young, pregnant woman who looked like her. Beneath it was a hospital bracelet with Maggie’s name on it.
The letter inside revealed the truth: Rebecca was Maggie’s biological mother. She had given her up to Maggie’s parents, who couldn’t have children, and had stayed close, watching over her quietly.
Maggie’s world shifted as she realized she’d been loved by two mothers—one who raised her, and one who always cared from a distance.
