"My husband you need to get well because all our savings has finished on your Ill health.
Your children are no longer going to school and am really suffering , my business is no longer yielding profit.
Please my husband,try and get well 🥺🥺"
These are the saying of Mrs Smith to her husband on his sick bed.
It all started a very long time ago,
Mr. Smith was a very wealthy man who never played with his family, he loved and cherished them from his heart and he never allow them to lack anything, infact he was the best husband that anyone could wish for,
But one day tragedy struck,
Mr Smith was returning from work with his car when he had a terrible accident,
Some people gathered to help him while others came to see if they can find any valuable with him,
Those who came to help rushed him to the hospital while those who came to steal, stole everything he had on him including his phone and ATM card alongside with other valuables and official documents that he had on him,
At the hospital, the doctor asked for his relative's or wife's number and fortunately for him, he had his wife's number off hands,
He told the doctor and the doctor contacted his wife through his own mobile phone,
On hearing the news Mrs Smith jumped up and nearly injured herself while trying to rush to the location that was given to her,
When she got to the hospital and saw how terrible her husband's condition was, she started crying again but the nurses led her out of her husband's ward because she was disturbing other patients,
Some hours later,
The doctor came to inform her that her husband needed a blood transfusion because he had lost alot of blood,
Being a house wife and having no savings because her husband never allowed her to work, she became confused and asked the doctor to take her own blood instead,
Fortunately she is a universal donor.
Now Mr. Smith is out of danger and the doctor assured Mrs, Smith that he will be fine,
The doctor also said that one of the people that brought him has cleared his hospital bill,
Weeks later the man was discharged but he was crippled and the doctor said that he chances of getting back on his feet was slim,
That left bruises on the family because his was the bread winner of the family and extended family,
His wife who has never done any job since she married her husband had no choice than to start working to feed the children and take care of her sick husband,
The worst of it all is that they have no money except the little money that Mr. Smith was saving in the house for a future purpose and some goods in his shop,
They people who stole his phone and ATM card had figured a way to withdrew all the money he had saved in his bank account,
The inexperienced wife took over the business,
At first she was doing well but along the line things started to change and the husband developed a serious illness due to the Fact he was lacking some vital nutrient,
One day Mrs. Smith was coming back from work looking very tired and lost,
She was thinking about her husband, the family, herself and their current situation,
Suddenly she heard a loud shout at the other end of the road, beckoning on her to leave the road,(the car nearly hit her)
With so much fear she jumped out of the road to a safer side,
The owner of the car came down to see for himself who would have put him into trouble,
Only to realize that it was his friends wife😲,
Infact mr. Smith was the real reason he came back from the state,
Mr.smith and Mr. Frank has been friends for years but lost contact when Mr.frank traveled to the state for a business,
Mr. Frank followed his Friends wife home to see his long lost backbone,
It happened that it was mr.smith that helped him when he had nothing, his friend brushed him up and advised him to travel out and seek for greener pastures, infact it was Mr. Smith that provided everything needed for him to travel with,
And now he has come back to repay him for everything he did for him,
Mr.smith was very happy to see that his friend is now successful and even remembered him,
The two hugged each other and cried for awhile,
" What a small world, who could have known that the table will turn someday?
Am very happy for you my friend, as you can see am crippled and poor but I thank God that you're successful,
Atleast I achieved something which is you"
Those were the words of Mr.smith to his friend as hot tears rolled down his cheeks,
"Don't worry my friend, am here to take over from where you stopped, am here to put smiles on your face, am here to clean your tears,
Please cry no more"
Said Mr. Frank as tears also rolled down his cheeks,
The room was silent for a while as everyone was in tears but what they don't know is if it was tears of joy or normal tears,
Days later,
mr.frank paid off all the debt that the family was into and also bought a better apartment for them,
He also opened a big and better business for his friends wife, paid the children's school fees up to the university level,
He never abandoned them for once even though he traveled back to the state,
He kept calling on them to check if they're ok.
So finally there is joy at last 🥰
