When the buyers tried to register the property, they were stopped.
“This sale cannot go through. The seller has no legal authority.”
Furious, they called Daniel.
A week later, he was served legal papers at his clinic.
Victoria read them, stunned. “Your mother? I thought you had no family.”
He tried to explain, but it was too late.
“You threw your own mother out?” she said, horrified. “I married a stranger.”
His father-in-law suspended him immediately.
The hearing came soon after.
Evelyn stood in court, holding Linda’s arm.
“Did you authorize the sale?” the judge asked.
“No, sir. I trusted my son.”
“And did you receive any money?”
“No.”
The judge turned to Daniel.
“You abused your mother’s trust and her condition. The sale is void. The property is returned to Mrs. Harper. You have 30 days to repay the buyers—or face arrest.”
Daniel lost everything—his job, his marriage, his reputation.
A month later, Evelyn returned home.
Neighbors helped rebuild what had been destroyed. She no longer worked to survive. She simply sat outside, listening to the wind, feeling the place that had always been hers.
One afternoon, a worn taxi pulled up.
Daniel stepped out—thin, exhausted, broken.
