For seven years, I cared for Mrs. Patterson, an elderly woman abandoned by her family. Despite her wealth, she lived in loneliness, with only me by her side. She considered me family, and I cherished that bond deeply.
When Mrs. Patterson passed, I was heartbroken. Her family, dressed in designer clothes, showed no real emotion, only anticipating their inheritance. They barely acknowledged her death, treating it as a mere transaction, while I had lost someone who felt like a mother to me.
Days later, I was called to her house for the reading of the will. Her family was eager to claim their inheritance, but they were stunned when they learned Mrs. Patterson had left everything to me, her devoted caretaker. Their anger was immediate and intense.
As they left, defeated, the lawyer handed me a box of memories—photos, letters, and recordings that proved Mrs. Patterson had truly loved me. In her death, she gave me more than just material wealth; she gave me the family I had never had.
