Husband brought homeless boy home to care for his ailing wife, then left to be with his mistress

Описание: The husband brought a homeless boy home to care for his ailing wife, then immediately left to be with his mistress. He would've been shocked to know that the moment he was gone, his wife tossed her crutches aside

Clara sat by the bay window, the afternoon sun dappling the worn velvet of her favorite armchair. Outside, the majestic oak in her backyard unfurled its newest, lime-green leaves, a vibrant testament to spring's relentless promise. Her gaze drifted, not truly seeing the world beyond the glass, but rather peering into the shadowed corridors of her own past. Lately, these journeys into memory were her only escape, a fragile solace from the unyielding grip of her current predicament. Life, as she'd known it, felt like a distant shore, fading into an unreachable haze.
Every shift in the old farmhouse was an arduous climb. Moving from the kitchen's warm, inviting heart to the quiet refuge of her bedroom was a marathon. The gleaming crutches, once a symbol of fleeting support, now felt like cruel extensions of her own agony, each step sending jolts of protest through her weakened frame. And Daniel, her husband of five years, seemed to regard her with nothing but a cool, detached impatience. This bewildering nightmare had been her constant companion for nearly three months now.
Often, in the quiet solitude of her days, Clara would drift back to a past sharply divided into two stark chapters. The first was a canvas she preferred to keep veiled, yet its shadowy outlines stubbornly clung to the edges of her consciousness. She held no tender recollection of her birth parents. According to Mrs. Gable, the kind woman who'd managed the old Saint Jude's Children's Home, Clara had arrived there a bewildered toddler of two. She’d been a spirited, bright-eyed little girl, full of curiosity, yet it wasn't until her fifth birthday that her new parents walked through the heavy wooden doors of the orphanage.
Evelyn and Thomas Dixon, were respected architects in the bustling city, their names synonymous with both integrity and innovation. Clara wanted for absolutely nothing. She possessed the finest hand-stitched dresses, a playroom overflowing with whimsical wooden toys, access to the best private academies, and meals that were always prepared with a mother's careful hand.
Every summer, without fail, her parents would whisk her away to the sandy shores of Sea Breeze Point, where she would spend a glorious month frolicking in the sparkling azure waves, the salt air invigorating her very soul. But more than the lavish gifts or exotic travels, it was the profound sense of belonging, of being cherished within a complete, loving family, that nourished her spirit. In return, she offered them only her unwavering affection and the sweet music of her laughter.
From her very first day at the Preparatory School, Clara consistently shone, gracing their mantelpiece with a steady stream of honor roll certificates and academic awards. After graduating with distinction, she effortlessly gained admission to the prestigious University, though, to her sorrow, Evelyn and Thomas didn't live to witness her proud walk across the graduation stage.
