In the small town of Meadowville, Judith, a young girl struggling to make ends meet, worked as a salesgirl in a pharmaceutical store. Her life was a constant battle, supporting her seriously ill mother and three brothers on meager wages while enduring the relentless exploitation of her wicked store boss. Survival was a daily struggle, and hope seemed like a distant dream.

One fateful day, Judith's mother fell seriously ill, requiring immediate treatment in the bigger city. Overwhelmed with fear and desperation, Judith used the last of her meager salary to contact her stingy Aunt who lived in the city. Though her aunt was known for her frugality, Judith's only concern was finding a place to stay so she could save her mother. With fervent prayers, she put her trust in the Lord.

Miraculously, Judith's aunt agreed to help, providing them with a small abandoned room near the engine room. While her aunt's assistance was limited to providing food, it was better than nothing. Judith did what she could, paying a fraction of her mother's medical bills, but they were still struggling to make ends meet.

Unable to bear the sight of her family starving, Judith ventured into the streets of the big city at the tender age of seventeen, searching for a new job as a maid. With a growling stomach and tears streaming down her face, she scoured the skyscraper-lined streets to no avail. Just as she was about to lose hope, a dog burst out from a magnificent hotel, closely followed by an angry woman. Judith, driven by her love for animals, managed to catch the dog before it escaped. Attached to its teeth was a piece of paper that the dog struggled to remove.

Curiosity piqued, Judith gently took the paper from the dog's mouth and handed it to the woman. Grateful for Judith's help, the woman offered her a chance at employment. She led Judith back to the hotel, where she introduced her to Mr. Karen, the head chef. Judith explained her desperate situation, and to her delight, Mr. Karen offered her a job as a cleaner with a daily wage and the provision of extra food. Overwhelmed with happiness, Judith embraced the opportunity.

Despite her hunger, Judith worked tirelessly, completing all her cleaning duties efficiently. She was soon rewarded with her wages and a food package for her family. Overjoyed, she rushed home to share the good news with her worried and starving family. Her mother's tears turned into tears of relief and gratitude.

Days turned into weeks, and Judith's mother's condition worsened due to a change in medication. Unable to sleep, Judith stayed by her mother's side throughout the night. In the morning, her mother appeared calmer, so Judith rushed to work, determined to provide for her family.

As she finished her regular cleaning duties, a senior staff member approached Judith, ordering her to clean the long-abandoned store room. Judith pleaded to leave early due to her mother's condition, but her request fell on deaf ears. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she whispered a prayer for her mother's well-being and entered the room.

Inside the room, covered in cobwebs and filled with dusty files and forgotten items, Judith worked diligently for hours. Exhausted and with a pounding headache, she took a moment to rest and sat on an old chair. Overcome by fatigue, she fell into a deep sleep.

In what seemed like a dream, Judith found herself surrounded by beautiful flowers, leading to a diamond-like crystal house. As she approached the door, it swung open to reveal an old, kind-looking man seated on a royal chair. Before she could utter a word, she was abruptly awakened by a loud bang on the door, accompanied by the senior staff's voice demanding to know if she was finished.

Startled and unsure if it had been a dream or a glimpse of reality, Judith rushed home to check on her mother. To her immense relief, she found her mother alive and well, cooking in the kitchen and singing with her younger siblings. Overwhelmed with joy, Judith embraced her mother tightly before retiring to bed, her mind filled with questions.

Days turned into weeks, and Judith continued to work diligently. Once again, she was summoned by the senior staff to organize the store room. This time, without the urgency of her mother's condition, Judith took her time, ensuring everything was in order. As she sat on the chair, fatigue once again overcame her, and she fell into a deep slumber.

In her dream-like state, Judith found herself standing before the diamond-like crystal door once more. Inside the house, the same old man sat on the royal chair, waiting for her return. He explained to Judith that she was the only one who could reach him, and he revealed the truth behind his untimely demise. His driver had orchestrated his murder, seizing his wealth and empire, unaware of a video tape where he had willed everything to his old nanny.

Awakening from her slumber, Judith was determined to uncover the truth. With the assistance of the old nanny, they exposed the driver, who had been masquerading as the CEO of the company. The stolen property was reclaimed, and the nanny, overwhelmed by Judith's integrity and courage, gave her 80% of the entire wealth.

With the truth revealed and justice served, Judith never saw the old man in her dreams again. She used her newfound wealth to provide a comfortable life for her family and established a foundation to help others in need. Judith's journey of survival and redemption became an inspiring tale of resilience and the power of unwavering determination.
