Young Nurse Gives up All Her Savings to Carry Out an Old Man’s Last Wish — Story of the Day

A young nurse tasked with caring for a lonely old man sacrifices everything to help him fulfill his last wish, and in return, he leaves her a mysterious gift that changes her life.

Harry Finch was an extremely rich man who made his fortune off multiple investments and his job as a stockbroker. His whole life had been centered around his work because he had a passion for numbers. The hardworking man was literally married to his work, and that left little space for relationships with others.

When he was younger, he was all about making more money and being independent, so he had no time to pursue love. “I need money to have a happy love life,” he always told his mother, who later passed away without ever seeing her child get married.

“There’s time yet,” he would tell his father when the man asked about his love life, and so it was until the man also passed.

Before Harry realized it, the years became decades, and he was past his prime. At 66, with millions in his account, Harry decided to retire and move to a nursing home.

People around him were very aware that the rich man had no family to inherit his wealth, and they all sought to cozy up to him so they could win his heart and have a chance to get a lick of his wealth.

A shrewd man, Harry always saw through the ruse, and it made him extremely unhappy. “Nobody cares about me, they just want my money,” he would think during the long lonely nights at his mansion.

It was a big house that sat on large hectares of land, but for all its luxury, it was a lonely place, and Harry felt it deeply.

His decision to move to a retirement home came one day after he fell down the stairs and spent most of an hour in a prone position because he could not move.

Later that night, he had seen an advert on TV about a new retirement home that boasted of friendly staff who actually cared about the occupants.
