Mike was an excellent police officer. During his ten years of service, he had made countless contributions and was deeply loved by those around him. His wife Vera also loved him dearly.
However, Mike suddenly became blind in both eyes. His life fell from happiness into despair almost overnight. He spent every day at home sighing in sorrow and suffering unbearable pain.
Worried about her husband, Vera stopped going to work and stayed by his side every day. She comforted Mike and encouraged him not to lose hope, telling him that as long as he could receive a suitable cornea, he would have the chance to see the world again.
But whenever Mike heard this, he could only smile bitterly. Where could he possibly find a cornea?
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Just when Mike had almost given up hope, Vera told him that a suitable cornea had become available and that he would soon be able to see again.
At that moment, Mike hugged Vera tightly and smiled with happiness.
The corneal transplant surgery was a great success, and Mike finally regained his sight.
There are millions of blind people in the world, and many wait for years without ever receiving a suitable cornea. Yet Mike only waited three months before receiving the chance to see the light again. His fortune seemed truly miraculous.
And the person who gave him this happiness was Mrs. Green, the woman who donated her corneas to him.
Mike asked Vera about Mrs. Green. Vera told him that Mrs. Green lived in Yorktown and was an elderly woman. Because she had donated her corneas to Mike, she had lost her own sight and was now living with great inconvenience.
Mike was shocked. “What? A living person donated her own corneas to me?”
Mike had always thought that Mrs. Green had already passed away, and that donating her corneas had been a decision made before her death. He never imagined that she was still alive and had chosen to give him her own corneas.
Such kindness, such gratitude, and such a deep bond were truly priceless.
