When we got home, Julie had just prepared a delicious and aromatic dinner. Knowing that Grandma was coming back with us, Julie had even made a medicinal meal to help with Grandma’s recovery.
The meal was extremely pleasant.
However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Grandma seemed a bit troubled. She kept serving me food, as if she wanted to show her care for me with all her strength.
Later on, Grandma urged Frank to take a shower. Frank noticed that Grandma wanted to speak with me privately and cooperated willingly.
“Charlotte, come in with Grandma.”
While Julie was still tidying up the dining area, Grandma called me into her room.
I suspected that she had something important to discuss with me and felt very uneasy. “Grandma, you…”
“Take this and keep it safe,”
Before I could finish, Grandma took out a brown paper bag from her purse and handed it to me.
I panicked. “Grandma, I can’t accept this!”
Grandma smiled in relief. “Do you know what it is?”
“Well…” I pursed my lips. “Simone and the others asked me if I knew the contents of your will.”
“Do you want to know?”
“I just want you to be well.”
That was the truth.
Perhaps because of the lack of a father–daughter bond with Ben, the Shaw family didn’t feel like home to me. I wanted to return to the Shaw family only for Grandma. If I could take care of her like this, that would be good enough.
As for the Shaw family’s assets and money, my career is flourishing, and I have no need for greed.
My mom… probably wouldn’t care to get anything from the Shaw family.
Hearing my unhesitating response, Grandma was both relieved and sighed. “You’re just like your mother. The Shaw family wasn’t fortunate enough to have her.”
Your father was too foolish back then,”
I lowered my head. “He’s still foolish now.”
Grandma didn’t defend him and nodded heavily, “Yes, you’re right. So, this is Grandma’s compensation for you and your mother.”
She stuffed the brown paper bag into my hands, her eyes, marked by time, becoming misty, “Be good, don’t let outsiders benefit.”
“Our ancestors worked hard to get the Shaw family where we are now. Your grandfather worked hard to

protect them. If it falls into the hands of outsiders, how will I explain it when I meet the on the other side?”
“Grandma…”
A mixture of emotions arose in me, and I struggled to Hold back the warmth in my eyes, tightly clutching the brown paper bag. “I’ll take it… I’ll take it…”
Grandma patted my hand. “This isn’t what they think of as a will. It’s a gift agreement. Once you sign it, it will be effective.”
