Selfless

The lawyer, Mr. Louis, apparently a friend of the family states Mel’s name and waits for her to acknowledge him. Mel does not bother to look up. She stares at the window. She is already aware of the jewelry her mom had left which she cannot claim because those same jewelry were stolen after news broke of her mom’s passing. Mel was furious. Not just because of the jewelry but also because she did not understand why they had to read the will the day of the funeral. She had protested many times to push it, but no one wanted to wait. It is not like her mom left a fortune behind.
