Maria worked in a small hospital.
One winter night, a young man named Samuel was brought in after an accident.
He had no family nearby.
Maria cared for him.
During his recovery, they fell in love.
But Samuel’s injuries left him unable to walk.
He believed Maria deserved someone better.
“You should leave me.”
Maria shook her head.
“I didn’t fall in love with your legs.”
Years of rehabilitation followed.
Samuel struggled with anger, depression, and hopelessness.
Maria stayed beside him.
Eventually, he learned to walk again with assistance.
They married in the same hospital where they first met.
Their wedding was simple.
Samuel looked at Maria and said,
“You saved my life.”
She smiled.
“No. You saved mine too.”
