Inside was a lawyer’s letter explaining that Alicia had left me her share of her grandmother’s inheritance.
The money was enough to pay off every student loan I owed.
I stared at the amount in disbelief.
Then Nora saw the letter.
“What the hell? She left you Grandma’s money?”
“I didn’t know about this. I swear.”
“Then why did you marry her?”
“It wasn’t romantic. You knew that.”
Nora’s face hardened.
“Now I can see what you got out of it. I’m reporting you to the hospital.”
She walked away before I could respond.
That night, I entered the inheritance amount into my loan calculator. My balance disappeared, and for a moment, I imagined finally giving my parents a comfortable life.

Then guilt set in.
The next morning, I called the lawyer and refused the inheritance.
I also called Nora, hoping she’d reconsider her complaint.
