After warm clothes and a hot meal, Ksenia shared her heartbreaking story: once cared for by her son and his kind wife, her life turned dark after his remarriage. His new wife, Mila, resented her, denied her medicine, and ultimately abandoned her—pushing her into the river and driving away.
Lyudmila, deeply moved, cared for Ksenia like family. Days later at a school event, a surprise reunion took place—Ksenia’s son, Viktor, appeared and was stunned to find his mother alive and well. Mila had lied.
Grateful beyond words, Viktor reconnected with his mother—and with Lyudmila. He visited often, brought gifts for Grisha, helped around the house, and eventually proposed.
By summer’s end, Lyudmila and Viktor were married, blending their lives into a new, joyful chapter—one that began with a boy’s kindness on a quiet riverbank.
