Once a well-known businessman among Kyiv’s elite, Richard Levinson now lived alone in his enormous, quiet mansion following the untimely death of his only son, Leo, five years prior. As a silent remembrance, he brought white lilies, his son’s favorite flower, to Leo’s grave every Sunday. Richard saw a small boy sitting close by one rainy afternoon; he was oddly familiar but out of place. Richard’s curiosity was piqued when the boy ran away, so he asked his helper Daniel to track him down. Richard soon found the boy, Noah, and his mother, Clara, living in poverty and in hiding from the outside world.

Clara disclosed a life-altering fact during a heated meeting at an abandoned warehouse: Leo was Noah’s father. She had kept this information a secret after Leo passed away out of fear and uncertainty. Richard promised Clara undemanded support and was shocked but determined to be involved in Noah’s life. In addition to helping Noah enroll in school and arranging for them to move into a small apartment, he also provided groceries, care, and tutoring. Richard eventually reminisced about Leo, and Noah gradually started to thrive, forming friendships and accepting his new life.
