Rich Old Man Ignores Family until He’s One Step Away from Lonely Death – Story of the Day

Henry was a rich yet lonely man. He had neglected his family for money, and this strained their relationship over the years. However, this would change after an unexpected visit from his nephew, Stephen.

Henry was a wealthy entrepreneur. He had done well for himself in several business ventures. However, Henry’s success came with the sacrifice of his family and personal life.

Henry loved money, and he always put it before anything or anyone else. He had started his company at a very young age, and now he was an elderly man. It had been the primary focus of his life for the longest time.

His only girlfriend had left him because of his love of work and money many years ago, and he never had a serious relationship again. He tried to date here and there, but his work always took priority in his life, which made finding a partner near impossible.

Henry’s brother died a few years ago, which was a major blow to Henry because they were close. Henry and his brother shared a unique bond, and he was one of the few people Henry felt he could be vulnerable with. So, the news of his passing hurt Henry deeply.

Henry’s brother had always wanted Henry to know his nephews and forge a relationship with them. However, as usual, Henry was always too busy making money to care about that.

He preferred to ignore his nephews and keep them at a distance. To make things worse, Henry’s nephews weren’t as financially secure as he was, making him ignore them even more. Henry was fine with being alone.

His nephews would always invite Henry to various family events, but he’d always ignore their invitations.

He’d always make up excuses. However, this time, when his assistant handed him a letter with an invitation to Christmas, he decided not to answer the invitation at all.

On the eve of Christmas, Henry was in his house in his usual loneliness when he suddenly became ill and lost consciousness. At that very moment, Henry’s nephew, Stephen, pulled up to the driveway.

Stephen hoped to have his uncle join him and his family for Christmas dinner. Upon realizing Henry still hadn’t replied to his invitation, he decided to go to his house and invite him over personally.

Stephen knocked at the door and rang the bell multiple times, but there was no response. He saw Henry’s car in the driveway and knew he wasn’t working during the holidays, so he began to worry.

He called Henry and heard the phone ringing from inside the house. At this point, his concern began to peak.

“Was his uncle in some sort of danger?” he thought.
