Inside, among the items, lay an elegant watch and a long letter which, after reading it, Elias decided to learn the truth and find the one who had done all this.

There was no name in the letter. Only a story. The man wrote that many years earlier his mother had saved his life. Not metaphorically, but literally.

She worked at the hospital and insisted on an urgent operation when others doubted.

Then she helped raise money for rehabilitation and told no one about it. “She said that kindness should not have witnesses,” the letter concluded.

But at the bottom was the signature of a law firm and an address.
