On top of that, Harold’s health started to decline rapidly. Julia’s heart was broken. Even though this was a situation she already knew was coming, she had started to get attached to Harold. Not in a romantic way but more in some kind of friendship way. So together with Billy and Lucy she spent as much time with him as possible and they tried to focus on the positive.
However, this was extremely hard as the news sent shockwaves through the town. “Do you believe us now?” a new headline of a post in the Facebook group read: “We were right all along”. People called it a scam and said that Julia chose her victim and purposely chose a very old and sick man to fall in love with her. That way she could get rich very soon and easily. They called her sick and heartless.
