Relationships with the in-laws are typically really complicated.

But her mother-in-law would require to withdraw the money from her retirement account. Grandma believed it would be worth it. She wanted her daughter-in-law to hear her children' cute child babbling.

That's when Ellen surprised Sarah with a present toward Envoy Medical Corporation, the company who did the original implant. She offered her what she needed to get the next procedure done. But then Ellen gave $30,000 to "pay her back" for her generosity. Her mother-in-law was floored.
