“Twenty thousand is too little, you think?”
“Chris, get this: your father was a homeless vagrant. The fact that he risked his life to earn twenty thousand is already a great honor for your family. Don’t push your luck!”
I shook my head:
“You’re mistaken. What I mean is that this is money you earned with the help of your family, and only you can take it.”
Susan frowned deeply, her face full of disgust:
“This is money earned from selling your father’s body. What does it have to do with me?”
“Do you think I, like you, need such unscrupulous money?”
Susan comes from a single-parent family.
Her mother died young, and her father-in-law raised her with great care.
To support her dream of becoming a lawyer, her father-in-law worked several jobs, developing numerous health problems.
Susan saw it all and remained extremely devoted to him. At first, I didn’t understand why Susan didn’t even return home after my father-in-law died, instead focusing entirely on defending Michael, the perpetrator.
I didn’t realize it was because she thought the man who died was my father.
I looked at Susan and said seriously,
“Susan, I advise you to return the twenty thousand and redeem your father’s body.”
