The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Mrs. Johnson's hands trembled as she clutched the lawsuit papers, causing the nurse to finally realize who she was dealing with. This was the same lady who had caused a commotion upstairs just yesterday. The nurse had been mentally preparing herself to not react harshly to any provocations.

"What in the world is going on? Who the hell is out to get us?!" Mrs. Johnson spat out every curse under the sun, directing her fury at the person who had handed her the lawsuit.

The delivery guy, sensing Mrs. Johnson was not someone to mess with, made a quick exit as soon as she signed for the package.

The nurse, trying to support Mrs. Johnson, ended up bearing the brunt of her anger due to an accidental shove that made Mrs. Johnson accuse her of malicious intent.

"Everyone, look at this young lady! So small, yet so vicious! What kind of people does this hospital hire? If I, an old woman, were to fall and die here, what would my son do?!"

The nurse was at a loss for words, overwhelmed as the crowd around them grew and the whispers became louder, almost making her faint.

"My God, what's happening to this young lady?" a bold onlooker asked as he helped the nurse to her feet, prompting a tearful thank you from her.

The man, glaring at Mrs. Johnson, demanded, "What's all this about?"

Mrs. Johnson, not one to let anyone defend the nurse, dramatically claimed, "I just asked for her help, and she tried to trip me! At my age, a fall could be disastrous!" The nurse remained silent, her tears falling freely, regretting her attempt to help.
