After Losing Her Husband, a Woman Learned from a Nurse That Another Woman Had Been Visiting Him for Several Weeks – A Few Days Later, the Visitor Came to Her House and Said, ‘So You Don’t Know What He Left You, Do You?’

But if you find him, you’ll understand why I couldn’t walk away.

I’m sorry I never told you.’

I read it twice.

Mara said nothing.

“Is Ethan your son?”

“No.”

“Were you sleeping with Jack?”

“Then who is he?”

“I can’t tell you.”

I actually laughed. “You come to a pregnant widow’s house with a letter from her dead husband telling her to find a five-year-old boy, and you can’t tell me who he is?”

“Jack wanted you to decide whether to keep looking.”

“Because once you know, you can’t unknow it.”

“Stop talking like you’re in a movie.”

She flinched. “You’re right.”

“Who are you?”

“I grew up in care. Jack and I knew each other from the children’s home.”
