I found a quiet spot on a mountain, with a view of the ocean.

The sanatorium was expensive, but I booked it for six months.

Six months should be enough.

What's the point of keeping all that money anyway?

Might as well spend it on myself.

If things were still the same with Nathan, if nothing had happened.

Maybe I would have really considered buying a house and car for my brother-in-law, even preparing the wedding gift money for him.

But now? No way!

How does that saying go?

You can't take it with you when you die.

I'm an orphan, with no parents.

I treated Nathan's family as my own.

So when I had Nathan, I felt like the happiest person in the world.

I loved her with all my heart, loved our family.

Molly's birth gave me a real sense of having a family.

That's why I could overlook everything that affected our family's harmony.

Including my mother-in-law's snobbery, and Nathan constantly using our money to support her family and brother.
