Learning that flowers were disappearing from his wife’s grave, a wealthy man installed a camera. But when he watched the video, he was left speechless

And the belt, the belt was on the jacket, Michael asked. I don’t think so. I’m not sure.

Please forgive me. I won’t take your flowers anymore if you don’t want me to. Grandma never received flowers.

And these are so beautiful. And I believe she sees everything and is happy when I come to her grave with flowers. She misses me too, probably.

The boy sighed intermittently and left. Michael frowned. He felt terribly sorry for the boy and decided he would take him in.

He felt relieved. But on the way home, he thought that such decisions are not made hastily. He wants to take this boy in now just because he misses Kate.

But what about tomorrow? No, that’s not the right motive. Michael decided he would keep an eye on him and for now just take him in on weekends. Luckily, the workers at the local shelter knew him and treated him with respect.

After he adopted Sophia, he became a regular sponsor. If something was needed, they would ask him and he would buy it. Do you specifically want this child? But why? The caregiver exclaimed in surprise.

Michael didn’t delay his idea and went to the shelter the next day. Now he understood that the attitude towards children here is not as careful as they try to show, since a six-year-old child can easily run away from there. I know this boy a little.

The caregiver sighed. That’s Adam Johnson, the troublemaker. Always running away from us, can you imagine? Michael didn’t feign surprise.

Well, it’s probably not the boy’s fault. Adults are the ones in charge here. The teacher looked embarrassed.

Yes, you’re right, of course, it’s just that we haven’t had this situation before. I still wouldn’t advise you to take him. The thing is, if you get attached, you won’t be able to adopt the boy.

Once you start taking him in, you’ll want him to stay with you forever, but they won’t give him to you. Why? Michael asked, surprised. I heard his grandmother passed away.

Yes, the grandmother is gone and the child ended up with us, but there’s still his mother. She disappeared without a trace, went to the capital to earn money for her mother’s surgery, and disappeared. It’s been over a year and her whereabouts are still unknown.

The boy still hopes, of course, but… Michael shrugged. I didn’t know, but that doesn’t change things. I’d like to take Adam on weekends.

Let him play with Sophia. She lost her mother. She needs a friend now, and we’ll see how it goes from there.

Michael arranged it with the management and went to work. He felt lighter immediately. He just needed to figure out who Adam saw at the cemetery.

Maybe he made up that story to justify his stealing. The next weekend, Adam came to pick up Michael. They didn’t tell the boy anything to avoid giving false hope.

Seeing his uncle at the cemetery, the boy got scared. I didn’t take any more flowers, I swear! I know, they’re still there. I came for a different reason.

I have a daughter your age. Her name is Sophia. She used to live in this shelter too.

If you want, come with me. Visit. You’ll spend time with her.

Watch TV, play. I’ll take you to the park and the day after tomorrow I’ll bring you back here. I can’t take you forever, but you can visit us for a couple of days now and then if you want.

Michael said this, squatting down to be at the boy’s eye level. Adam sighed and said earnestly, OK, I love the park. Mum used to take me there, but I don’t remember much now.

I was still little then, and now I’m almost seven. Sophia and Adam quickly hit it off. Michael had a wonderful weekend with them, gradually realising he wanted to take Adam home right away.

Returning him was very difficult, but Mike promised to visit during the week. He also asked how to find his grandmother’s grave and promised to bring her a new bouquet of flowers. In return, Adam vowed not to run away from the shelter.

Michael asked the boy once more about the woman at the cemetery. He spoke confidently, clearly. Michael believed him when Adam remembered that the woman had an accent, especially Catherine pronounced the letter R differently.

It sounded beautiful like a French woman, so there couldn’t have been any mistakes. Believing that his wife hadn’t died was difficult. Michael racked his brain.

If she staged her own death, then why? He asked his acquaintance, a detective, for help and told him about his suspicions. The phone call took place late in the evening. Michael dialed and asked if he had woken him up, then explained the whole situation to Liam…
