He Donated His Toenails to Save His Dad… Only to Discover a Cruel Lie at a Birthday Party for the ‘Real Son’

TRILL WORLD

Transcript

00:00It wasn't until he saw his parents hosting a birthday party for their adopted son in an

00:03upscale hotel. The young man realized that his poor parents were actually the richest people

00:07in the country. Even his critically ill father had been faking his illness. To raise the $500,000

00:11needed for his father's surgery, the young man gave up the opportunity to study abroad. He

00:16toiled away at construction sites, carrying bricks to earn money. He even knelt before the contractor

00:20to borrow money. Even so, he was still far short of the $500,000 needed for the surgery.

00:25The young man had no choice but to donate his toenails. Then he gave the money he had scraped

00:29together to his father. His father, curious about where the young man had gotten the money,

00:33asked him to explain. The young man assured him that the money had not been stolen, so that his

00:37father could undergo the surgery in peace. Suddenly, the young man's foot began to hurt and he could

00:41barely stand, but he still did not reveal the truth. He lied that he'd been overworked lately

00:45and felt a bit unwell. The father was instantly filled with guilt toward his son. Yet the young

00:49man said it was all something he should have done, as long as his father could rest and recover. He

00:53was willing to do anything. After saying this, he went back to the hotel to work as a waiter and earn

00:57money. After their son left, the woman complained that her husband had been too strict with their

01:01son. He was already 20 years old, and they had never once celebrated his birthday with him. The

01:06man said it was all for their son's own good. Celebrating his birthday would only weaken his

01:10will. Then the man remembered that today was their adopted son's birthday. He arranged a birthday

01:14banquet for the adopted son at the hotel. He told his wife to prepare a gift quickly so they could

01:18present it together later. Coincidentally, this hotel was exactly where their son worked. Soon, the parents

01:23had changed into formal clothes and arrived at the hotel with their adopted son. The young man

01:27also came to the entrance with the group to line up and greet them. Because he kept his head down,

01:31he did not recognize his own parents. Before long, the manager ran over and told him that the richest

01:35family's adopted son needed him to serve in a banquet hall. He followed the manager into the

01:40banquet hall. He happened to see his parents happily singing happy birthday to the adopted son. It was

01:44only then that he realized his parents were actually the richest people in the country. He deliberately

01:48called his mother to ask where she was. To his surprise, his mother said she was at the hospital

01:52caring for his father. The young man didn't understand why his parents had lied to him. When he heard his

01:56father say they were doing it to toughen him up, he felt very sad of heart because he never needed

02:00such hardship in life. And he hadn't even been given the chance to refuse. Over the years,

02:05his parents had poured all their care and love into their adopted son. Every year, they not only

02:09threw a birthday banquet for the adopted son, but also gave him expensive birthday gifts when the

02:13adopted son received a multi-million dollar luxury car from his mother. He took off his watch that he

02:17had worn for five years and handed it to his mother asking her to give the watch to the young man.

02:22Seeing this, the young man finally understood. All the birthday gifts his mother had given him every

02:26year were just second-hand toys the adopted son had grown tired of. His mother even lied that their

02:30family was too poor, so they could only buy second-hand toys. The young man had never complained,

02:35but upon learning the truth, he felt deeply hurt. Although his father said it was to toughen him up,

02:39in his heart, he could only feel that his parents did not love him. At that moment, the adopted son

02:43called the young man over to serve them. From their conversation, the young man learned that his

02:47father's brain tumor was a sham, and the purpose had only been to test whether he could raise $500,000.

02:52His father was satisfied with this test result, but completely ignored the young man's capacity

02:56to bear it. They did not know that the young man had donated his toenails to raise the $500,000.

03:01Distracted, the young man accidentally shattered glass. The adopted son, enraged, slapped him. He

03:06scolded the young man for dirtying his custom-tailored suit. The young man offered to compensate him,

03:10but the adopted son said he was just a waiter and could not afford compensation. Just then,

03:14the father suddenly realized that the young man looked very much like his own son. He asked the young

03:18man to lift his head, to see if this waiter was actually his son. He stepped closer and reached

03:22out to remove the young man's mask.
