The next morning, Lennox’s daughter received a call from a lawyer. Her face went pale as she listened. The rest of the family gathered around, curious—until she whispered, “It’s about Dad’s will.”
Turns out, Lennox had already rewritten it. The lawyer explained that after years of being taken for granted, Lennox had decided to leave 90% of his estate—over $12 million—not to his children or grandkids, but to his longtime housekeeper, Maria, and a foundation for elderly care.
The rest? Split into fifteen equal parts—with a condition. Each family member would only receive their share if they spent one full week, alone, volunteering at the elderly care foundation Lennox had funded.
Panic turned to guilt. Regret filled the silence. But Lennox? He was sipping coffee at a small diner with Maria, smiling for the first time in days.
Lesson: Don’t wait to value the people who built your world—especially not the ones who loved you when they had nothing to gain. Because one day, the person you forget… might just be the one writing the final chapter of your story.
