At the wedding, the son insulted his mother, calling her a «scoundrel» and a beggar, and ordered her to leave. But she took the microphone and gave a speech…

Svetlana Petrovna stood in the doorway of the room, barely opening the door — so as not to disturb, but also not to miss an important moment.

Arriving at the hospital to see her dying husband, a wealthy woman threw money to a beggar… But upon hearing a strange advice, she froze in hesitation.

An elegant woman in an expensive coat, with a heavy gaze and restrained posture, entered the old building of the city hospital.

Rushing to the intensive care unit, the husband rubbed his hands, anticipating imminent freedom—he was sure his wife had very little time left to live… But an unpleasant surprise awaited him.

When Viktor arrived at the ICU, he barely contained his triumph. His face was a mask of calm, but inside everything was boiling: finally, the moment he had been waiting for had come.
