After losing her only son Neil in a tragic accident, Estella’s world turned gray and silent. Neil had been a brilliant scientist with no time for romance, or so she thought. He left no family behind—only memories that haunted Estella’s every breath. For years, she lived in quiet grief, never finding closure. Each morning, she placed a flower beside his photo, still talking to him as if he’d walk through the door.
One day, ten years later, Estella was shopping at the market when twin boys tugged at her sleeve, begging for food. As she leaned closer, her eyes caught a familiar birthmark on one boy’s neck—the same crescent-shaped mark Neil had. Stunned, she offered them a warm meal, heart pounding with questions. Their bright eyes and gentle manner reminded her of the boy she had once rocked to sleep.
