Grieving Mom Meets Limping Mute Boy Who Looks Exactly like Her Late Son and Takes a DNA Test — Story of the Day
A mother who is unable to accept that her son is no longer alive meets a young boy from an orphanage who resembles her late son. Things take an unexpected turn for both of them when she takes a DNA test with him.
As Silvia opened her eyes, she watched them come and go. Nurses with different medicines and syringes walked past her and into her room. For a moment, she thought, “Is the delivery not done? Are they going to perform a C-section?”
Eventually, she moved her hands on her belly and realized her baby bump was no longer there. The delivery was done, but where was her child?
Suddenly, a nurse interrupted her thoughts. “Dr. Carter, Silvia D’Souza is awake! She gained consciousness,” she said, looking at her and then rushing out of the room.

After a few minutes, the front door opened, and a tall woman in her 40s entered the room. “Do you feel better, Mrs. D’Souza?” she inquired softly.
“Yes, I do, doctor” Silvia whispered, unable to move her body due to a lingering weakness. “Is everything alright? Where’s my baby?”
“He’s premature, so he’s in the NICU. But don’t worry, Mrs. D’Souza, he’ll be fine.” Dr. Carter comforted her. “We need to keep an eye on you as well. Do you remember when you were brought here?”
“I’m not sure, doctor. All I can feel is a sharp pain and a sense of weakness in my body. Where’s Andrew? Is he waiting outside?”
Dr. Carter sighed and turned to face nurse Mandy. It was harsh for a woman who’s just recovering after a difficult delivery to hear such bad news, but Dr. Carter didn’t have a choice. “You see, Mrs. D’Souza, I have something to tell you about Andrew. But we should do it a bit later. You’ve been unconscious for 2 weeks, and you just woke up.”

Silvia was worried. “Nothing happened to him, right?”
“He’s fine, ma’am, or so I hope, but he left you something. I recommend that you read it later.”
“He left something?” Silvia’s eyes welled up. “It’s okay, doctor. Please bring it. It’s not like I could avoid it for long….”
