The Lady replied, “People with other surnames don’t know.
These things have only been known in the Treadway family.”
Charlie nodded slightly and asked, “Does the descendant of the Treadway family hope to wait here for the appearance of Lord Morvel?”
“The chance of immortality that Lord Morvel promised to the ancestor, if it’s real and the ancestor can appear, it will undoubtedly bring a new life,” The Lady said with a hint of hope.
However, she then added with a hint of sadness, “But my three sons passed away one after another, and it wasn’t until I was 45 that I had my youngest son.
Now that I have finally raised him to adulthood, I only care about him.”
Charlie said, “If Lord Morvel is still alive and willing to keep his promise, you could also pass o
Charlie examined the phoenix bone bracelet in his hand, and responded coolly, “Ma’am, even though I helped you and your son, this bracelet of yours is incredibly valuable…”
“You have done me a great favor.
From my perspective, I still feel like I owe you, even though I did what I did.”
The Lady spoke with hesitation, “Please don’t think that way, benefactor.
No matter how valuable an object may be, it can never compare to a life.
”
Charlie smiled softly, “When we said goodbye, I made a promise to you that upon my return to China, I would come see you and ensure that you and your son would live comfortably for the rest of your lives.
I am here now to keep that promise and I have purchased a small villa here in Donguil for you and your son to move into.”
The Lady responded with hesitation, “Benefactor, I can’t accept such a generous offer.
How could I ask for something so valuable?”
Charlie gestured with his hand and spoke with determination, “Grandma, this amount of money is insignificant to me, and especially considering the valuable bracelet you gave me.
I can’t let you and your son continue to live here without any security.
I insist on purchasing a small villa for you and your son to move in.”
Charlie spoke again, “It has been a long time since Lord Morvel has last been seen and it’s unlikely for him to come back.
You don’t have to hold onto your ancestor’s wishes any longer…”
“Why not leave with your son and start a new life in the city? Though your son is missing a kidney, his health is stable thanks to the elixir he received, he will have a normal life and can even start a family and continue the Treadway lineage.
But if you stay here, the Treadway family’s future is uncertain.”
Charlie spoke candidly and hit Mrs. Treadway’s emotional weak spot.
She spoke in a low tone, expressing her sadness, “I am getting older and I don’t have many years left.
It doesn’t really matter whether I leave here or not…”
“But, my main concern is that if I don’t leave, my son won’t be able to find a wife.
He struggles with self-care and I am worried about his future.”
Charlie said with a smile, “You don’t have to worry about this, I’ve taken care of it.
I arranged for a house with a storefront for your son.
The reason I chose a house with a storefront is because I believe it will allow your son to stay at home and run a small business at the front door.”
The Lady replied with concern, “But my son is not as smart as most people, I don’t think he is capable of running a supermarket…”
Charlie said with a smile, “Running a small grocery store may not be as difficult as you imagine.
By keeping expenses low and finding a supplier who is willing to provide goods on credit, you can stock your store with minimal upfront costs…”
“The supplier can even handle the delivery of goods, so your son would only need to handle customer transactions using a scanner and cash register software that automatically tracks inventory…”
Charlie continued, “This way, when an item begins to run low, the system will send a reminder and all you would need to do is place an order with the supplier.
Running a small supermarket like this is relatively low-cost.
By having a storefront, you save on rent and only need to worry about labor costs.
Plus, the business is not too demanding for one person…”
“You can open and close the store whenever you want and earn a few thousand yuan a month.
And if it doesn’t work out, you can always rent out the storefront for income.
It would give you enough to live on just from the rent.”
The Lady said hesitantly, “Benefactor, I am grateful for your generosity, but I cannot accept the house.”
Charlie remained calm and smiled, “Grandma, many women out there are very practical.
They will not be interested in a man without a stable home and income.
You cannot sell the paintings created by your ancestors, can you?”
The Lady hesitated in her response.
Charlie continued, “Think about it, you want to have more time with your son, right? And when he gets married and has children, you want to be able to help take care of your grandchildren.
Living long enough to see that happen is a blessing from your ancestors.”
Charlie then took out a Rejuvenation Pill from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, “Grandma, this is a pill I prepared myself, it can help strengthen your body.
Give it a try…”
the opportunity of longevity to your son.”
The Lady smiled wryly and pointed to her temple, speaking with a hint of pain, “My son was born with some complications which caused him to have some brain problems.”
She went on to say, “Although he may appear normal on the surface, he is slower and simpler than most people.
He doesn’t have much intelligence.”
Pausing for a moment, she continued, “I still dare not let him know about these things because I am afraid he will not be able to keep secrets…”
“To be honest, the Treadway family has been waiting for so many years, just for the chance of a long life.
Although the opportunity is slim, I didn’t want to give up on it.
But now, I don’t want to wait anymore.
Even if I do wait, I can’t seek immortality for myself.
But my youngest son is not yet mature, and if I let him live forever, it may not be good for him…”
“I understand that a man is innocent but he is guilty.
If he doesn’t have a long life, he may end up in a public nursing home in the future.
If he does get a long life, he may die within a few years.”
Charlie nodded in agreement and spoke sincerely, “To be honest, fourteen or fifteen hundred years have passed, and I believe that Old Lord Morvel has passed away.
Even if we wait, we are unlikely to receive this opportunity.”
The Lady also nodded her head and sighed, “I also have little hope, which is why I was tempted to go out and work to earn money to live in the city.”
“I even sold a piece of jewelry passed down from my ancestors,” she added.
“After much trouble, I went to Mexico with him, but I never thought that our lives were almost ruined.
Thankfully, we were lucky enough to return alive, thanks to a benefactor.”
The Lady remembered something, and said, “By the way, benefactor, my son was on the brink of death when we were in Mexico.
But when we woke up on the bus, his condition had completely improved, thanks to your help, is that correct?”
Charlie nodded, “At that time, his condition was critical and there was no other way to save him.
So I gave him a Life Saving Pill, which has powerful healing properties, but it is not as effective as the Rejuvenation Pill.”
The Lady expressed her surprise and gratitude, “You would give me such a valuable medicine, I will always be grateful for this kindness, I just don’t have much to offer in return for saving our lives.”
