‘There’s Something Inside!’ Boy Cries after Sitting on Old Sofa Late Granny Left Him
Ten-year-old Kevin is stunned when he finds a hidden box in the shabby sofa he inherited from his Granny. Inside, he discovers a letter and legal papers revealing a devastating truth about his family.
Kevin cringed as movers dropped Granny’s old sofa, left to him in her will. “I’m going to miss Granny,” he said, recalling her kindness. His father, dismissive, sneered, “She’s done nothing but cause trouble for us.”
The boy defended the sofa, saying, “This isn’t junk, Dad. It’s a memory of Granny.” His father, however, remained bitter, reminding Kevin of past conflicts with Granny.
Kevin hoped to stay with his dad permanently, but a sharp object in the sofa caught his attention. He found a box labeled “For Kevin.” Inside, he discovered a letter from Granny, warning him that his father only returned for his inheritance. “Your well-being and your future depend on you making a smart choice now,” she wrote.
Granny’s letter revealed her struggle to secure Kevin’s safety, involving social services and a court battle. She urged Kevin to stay with Denise and Miguel, loving caregivers who had been looking after him.
Kevin faced a heart-wrenching decision: stay with his father or trust Granny’s advice and stay with Denise and Miguel. Granny’s final words echoed in his mind, “Make the right choice, my boy. Love always, Granny.”
Kevin folded the letter, knowing he had a difficult decision to make soon.
