"It's impossible. She couldn't have donated everything. I'm going to see her!" Eric snapped, spinning on his heel and rushing out the door, intent on confronting Kelly.

His frustration was building.

How could she give away that money without his approval?

Half of it was his, even if it had gone through legal channels.

What right did Kelly have to make that call on her own?

After a restless night, she was up early, handling the massive donation. The amount was so large that it took a while for them to verify the source. Once everything was confirmed, she found herself swarmed by reporters eager for interviews.

One of the researchers from the institute told her that the news had spread. The higher-ups were already aware of her actions. Now, everyone knew what she had done.

"Honey, does your back hurt?" Zev asked, setting the milk down before starting to rub her lower back.
