The air in the hospital waiting room was thick with anxiety. Michael had been waiting all night for news about his daughter. He saw the wallet in the corner, forgotten and alone. It belonged to a wealthy businessman, and inside was a considerable amount of money.

He knew that the funds were important to the man, and he knew what it was like to be desperate. Michael waited for the man to return, and handed the wallet back with a simple, quiet smile. After, he learned the news that his daughter was going to be alright. He walked out into the sunlight.
