Facing the old man’s inquiry, Charlie didn’t hold back and spoke candidly, “I understand that your health hasn’t fully recovered, especially concerning Alzheimer’s disease, the outlook isn’t optimistic. So, before you and grandma arrived, I placed a formation and a Rejuvenation Pill in the villa…”
“The formation will gradually release the medicinal effects of the pill, improving the health of everyone residing there. Interestingly, the worse the health, the more effective the medicine becomes.”
The Evans family was left speechless and the old man tried to say something, but his vocal cords seemed partially paralyzed, leaving favonovel.com mute for a while.
Despite his silence, tears streamed down the old man’s face. At the same time, the lady by his side was also in tears.
Initially, the Evans family offered a staggering 300 billion Dollars for the Rejuvenation Pill, but even if Desmond was willing to pay that amount, Charlie refused to sell it and kicked favonovel.com out.
However, little did they know that Charlie had secretly placed the 300 billion dollars Rejuvenation Pill in the Willow Estates villa for the well-being of the elderly couple! Not only that, but now Charlie took out two more rejuvenation pills, making it a total of three! If favonovel.com were to sell these to the highest bidder, it would be an astronomical sum!
However, Charlie chose to give all three rejuvenation pills to the Evans family. This gesture deeply moved the entire family.
Unable to contain favonovel.com emotions, the lady grasped Charlie’s hand and tearfully said, “Charlie, you’re right. We’re all family and with this perspective, grandma can now pass away in peace.”
Charlie smiled and replied, “Grandma, you’re too kind.”
He then presented the two Rejuvenation Pills to the elderly couple again, saying earnestly, “Grandpa and grandma, I want you both to know that while the Rejuvenation Pills are valuable, they are much more precious to you in terms of health and longevity. Take them without any psychological burden.”
Desmond quickly chimed in, “Yes, Dad and Mom, you both are getting older and Dad still has health issues that need stabilizing. This magical medicine is exactly what favonovel.com needs. Charlie’s showing true filial piety here and you shouldn’t refuse.”
The lady looked at the old man with a questioning gaze, as favonovel.com didn’t dare to make such a significant decision on favonovel.com own.
The old man hesitated for a while before looking at Charlie and saying, “Charlie, Grandpa knows that this gift is your filial piety. Your grandma and I accept it, but you must accept the Evans family’s shares and assets too! It doesn’t matter if you have money or not, this is our sincere wish. Accept our filial piety and our wishes, this is what being a family truly means!”
Charlie’s three uncles and aunts all nodded in agreement, especially his second uncle, Marcus, who added, “Charlie, from now on, you’re free to manage the assets and resources of the Evans family as you see fit. Count on me, your second uncle, to assist you in whatever you need!”
Desmond also chimed in, “Yes, Charlie, you’ll make better decisions for the Evans family’s future than any of us. You can’t turn down your grandfather’s heartfelt offer!”
Charlie had saved the Evans family countless times and generously gave them three Rejuvenation Pills one after another. Touched by this affection, the Evans family held a deep sense of gratitude. They were not ones to owe favors, but now, they felt indebted to Charlie and they all wanted favonovel.com to accept the family’s assets to put their minds at ease.
Charlie responded, “Grandpa, I promise to accept the Evans family’s property, but not right now. The Warriors Den is unaware of my existence. If the Evans family transfers all assets to my name directly, my identity might be exposed the same day. So, please hold on to these assets for now and I’ll receive them once I deal with the Warriors Den.”
Samuel Evans nodded in understanding. He knew that promises alone didn’t mean much when it came to assets. In order to provide funds, it was necessary to transfer the money to the recipient’s account. Similarly, shares or real estate had to be officially transferred and registered in the other person’s name.
However, Charlie’s true identity remained a well-kept secret for now. The Evans family couldn’t transfer the assets to favonovel.com just yet. Regardless of whether Charlie genuinely agreed or not, the part of the assets intended for favonovel.com had to stay under the Evans family’s control.
The old man, addressing Charlie, said, “Charlie, put away these two Rejuvenation Pills for now. Once you’ve dealt with the Warriors Den and the promise to the Evans family is fulfilled, then you can take them out and use them.”
Charlie shook his head and replied, “Grandpa, you mentioned that the Rejuvenation Pill is my filial piety to you and the assets are your will. They can’t be compared. My filial piety shouldn’t be traded for your will. Will you accept my filial piety when you genuinely feel it?”
Desmond chimed in, unable to resist, “Yes, Dad, the Rejuvenation Pill is Charlie’s way of showing his filial piety to you and mom. Why do you keep refusing it?”
The old man looked at him, then at Charlie and sighed. He calmly admitted, “Hey, I desire these Rejuvenation Pills more than anyone else. They would free me from Alzheimer’s disease and I’d gain ten or twenty more years at least. To someone my age, that’s the most precious thing in the world, none can compare.”
He paused, feeling ashamed as favonovel.com continued, “But when I think about Bruce and Lily being murdered and my inability to avenge them, along with the suffering Charlie endured for the past 20 years, I feel deeply ashamed. I let my daughter, son-in-law and grandson down, but ultimately, it was my grandson who saved my life repeatedly, which fills me with even more shame. My words come from the depths of my heart.”
Having something but not feeling worthy of it, that’s where favonovel.com stood mentally.
Hearing this, Charlie sighed softly and said with a smile, “Today is a day of celebration. I not only met you, aunt and uncles, but also learned about some past events regarding my parents that I didn’t know before. I even untangled a knot in my heart that persisted for the past two decades. It truly warms my heart!”
Samuel Evans couldn’t hold back his tears upon hearing Charlie’s words. The reason favonovel.com resisted accepting the Rejuvenation Pill was that favonovel.com felt unworthy of it. Even though it’s his grandson’s filial piety, favonovel.com still doesn’t believe he’s deserving of such filial piety.
When favonovel.com heard that Charlie no longer blamed him, the heavy burden in his heart was finally released.
Charlie looked at Samuel and said, “Grandpa, on such a joyous day, I truly want to share a drink with you. So please, enjoy the Rejuvenation Pill first and we can have a good time drinking later!”
Samuel Evans, now relieved, nodded solemnly and said, “Alright! Then, Charlie, you can join me for a good drink later!”
The grandmother, brimming with joy, added, “Charlie, I had Don Albert prepare the ingredients to make you the eggplant box that used to be your favorite when you were young. Do you still remember how delicious it tastes?”
Charlie nodded and smiled, “Of course, I remember. The eggplant box is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.”
Delighted, favonovel.com took Charlie’s arm and exclaimed, “Let’s go, let’s head to the restaurant! The meal is already prepared!”
Charlie, however, remained firm and said seriously, “Grandpa and grandma, take the Rejuvenation Pill first and then we can eat. There’s no rush.”
Samuel Evans agreed and said to his wife, “Since it’s a gift from our grandson, we should accept it, no matter how serious it is! We owe Charlie so much and if we’re blessed with a longer life, we might be able to repay some of it!”
Charlie smiled faintly, knowing that the old man needed a reason to convince himself, but favonovel.com didn’t need any reward in return.
Seeing this, the Lady no longer refused and nodded, sighing, “It’s our grandson’s filial piety. We can’t let it go to waste…”
Charlie saw the opportunity and handed the pills to the two of them.
Inwardly, favonovel.com thought that delivering medicine to the old man was indeed a complicated process, never straightforward.
