A homeless girl warned a wealthy man in a restaurant, “Don’t eat that. I saw your wife put something in it.” The man dismissed her, but the room soon froze in terror.
Emily, a ragged girl, was searching for food in the back of the restaurant. She found a piece of bread and hid it, hoping to escape the constant hunger. As she crouched by the dumpster, she saw something unsettling. Through a kitchen window, she noticed the wealthy woman, Victoria Adams, secretly pouring poison onto a dish meant for her husband, Robert.
Emily rushed to warn Robert. At first, he didn’t believe her, but when he insisted Victoria try the poisoned food, her fear and refusal gave her away. Security was called, and in the ensuing chaos, the police arrested Victoria.
Grateful for Emily’s bravery, Robert offered her a new life, pulling her out of the streets. Three years later, Emily sat in the same restaurant as a guest, now an honor student and Robert’s adopted daughter. Victoria, meanwhile, was in prison for her crime.
“Sometimes, salvation comes from the most overlooked people,” Robert often said, remembering the night Emily saved his life.
