Lola Simpson sat in a wheelchair, admiring the small garden through the window at Big Hearts Nursing Home. Another year had passed without any significant changes. Her daughter, Natalie, and son-in-law, Roger, didn't return her calls or check on her.
Six years ago, when Lola was 80, her health started failing. She needed help with basic tasks and could barely manage on her own. Once lively and cheery, Lola couldn't beat the effects of aging.
When Natalie realized she'd have to care for her mother, she placed Lola in a nursing home and moved into Lola's house with her husband. Natalie promised frequent visits, but year after year, Lola waited in vain.
One morning, Lola received a letter and recognized the sender's address. "You look happy, Mrs. Simpson. What's the letter about?" Mary asked as Lola smiled, running her hand over the envelope.
"Oh, it's from someone special, darling. Just a minute..."
Lola opened the letter and couldn't stop her tears. She had inherited $2.3 million from her older stepbrother, Morgan, who had found Mary's address through Lola's lawyer.
Morgan had promised their mother to always look after Lola. Bedridden for a long time and told he had only months to live, he decided to leave his money to Lola since he had no family.
Soon, word reached Natalie and Roger about Lola's inheritance. They decided to take her back, but when they went to the nursing home, they learned she had left months ago.
"But where did she go?" 👇
