A man finds a baby boy in a basket wrapped in blankets on his doorstep
Lucas, 54, lived a peaceful, solitary life after his wife’s passing and no nearby family. One cold night, as he warmed himself near the fire, he heard a gentle, insistent noise outside the door. Hesitating, he opened it and found a small baby crying in a basket, wrapped in blankets.
He looked around in surprise but saw no one. His heart unexpectedly warmed, and he brought the baby inside. Naming him Matias, Lucas raised the child as his own, finding happiness in the boy’s laughter. Their modest home became filled with love, and Lucas felt whole again.
However, Lucas always feared the day their quiet life would be disrupted.
At age 17, Matias’s birthday saw a sleek red car pull up in their neighborhood, an unusual sight. Lucas watched tensely as a well-dressed man stepped out and approached the door.
His heart pounding, Lucas opened it.
The man introduced himself firmly: “I’m Elijah. I’ve come to take Matias.”
Lucas was stunned.
“Who on earth are you?!” ⬇️
