The revelation left Lucas and Matias at a crossroads. Despite his deep love, Matias chose to go with Elijah, seeking answers about his past. Lucas, though heartbroken, supported his son’s decision, promising that his home would always be open.
Weeks passed in silence. Matias called less and less, and the cottage that had once been full of life felt empty again.
Then, one evening, a knock at the door. Lucas opened it to find Matias, exhausted and emotional. The luxury and promises of his biological family had felt empty without the love and warmth Lucas had given him. Matias confessed that Lucas was the father he had always needed.
Tears of joy and relief flowed as they embraced. The two stepped back into the cottage, their bond now stronger than ever. In that moment, they realized that family isn’t about blood—it’s about the love and devotion shared between two hearts.
