Woman Shelters Abandoned Old Lady Sitting by the Side of the Road and Helps Her Find Her Son — Story of the Day
Alice woke up because her dog started barking in the middle of the night. She went outside and saw an older woman, Janet, sitting on the sidewalk. After urging her to come inside, Janet revealed a shocking story about her daughter-in-law, and Alice knew she had to help.
“DAN! You can’t possibly believe what this woman is saying! That’s crazy! I would never do something like that to Janet! You know me, darling. I love her!” Christina yelled from the doorway after her husband, Dan, looked back at her with questioning eyes.
“Why would I come to this house and lie? Janet is at my house right now and has been crying herself crazy for the last four days after what your wife did. Please, come get your mother if you truly love her,” Alice snapped, crossing her arms angrily, still in disbelief at what Christina had done. She never imagined it would be possible to hate a complete stranger.

However, Janet’s story had been too devastating for words, and the fact that her son had not found her yet was even more heartbreaking.
“Christina, tell me the truth,” Dan demanded, still holding the front door open and looking back and forth between both women.
“I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH ALREADY!” Christina half-whined, half-yelled at him, and then looked at Alice with disdain on her face.
Alice shook her head, uncrossed her arms, and raised them in defeat. “Fine, you people do whatever you want. You have my address now, Dan. I hope you come for your mother and hear the truth because your wife will certainly not fess up. Goodbye,” she stated and turned around.

Alice woke up suddenly at the sound of her dog, Phineas, barking. He was usually quiet because they lived in one of the best parts of Des Moines, Iowa. However, Phineas was making too much noise outside, which meant something had probably alerted him, so Alice got up and went directly to the window.

After opening her curtain a bit, she saw that it was raining, but a figure was sitting on the sidewalk right in front of her house. Who could be out there in this weather? Is it a burglar?...
