Meanwhile, in the waiting area, hospital staff tried to piece together the mystery of the boy’s identity. With no name, no family contacts, and no explanation, he was a ghost in the system. Social services were notified, but they too were at a loss, having no records of a missing child matching his description.
After several tense hours, the surgery was completed successfully. The team managed to extract numerous metallic objects, ranging from small nails to shards of glass. It was a miracle the boy had endured such pain without immediate life-threatening consequences.
As the boy recovered in the hospital’s pediatric ward, the nurses attempted to coax some information from him. They brought him warm meals and small toys, speaking gently and offering comfort. Gradually, the boy began to open up, bit by bit.
