Chapter 285

The lawyer seemed moved by the bond between Charles and Emily.

He let out a soft sigh and said, “Charles once told me that if I ever handed these things over to you, you probably wouldn’t accept them, and would even insist I donate everything in his name instead.

“That’s why he specifically instructed me that, when the time came to donate these things, I had to do it under your name, Ms. Harper. He just wanted to do one last thing for you.”

The lawyer continued, “These things were originally meant as a gift for your eighteenth birthday, but after everything that happened, he held onto them all this time, just so you wouldn’t feel out of place in the Bennett Family.”

After explaining all this, the lawyer gathered up the contract and pen from the table and quietly left.

The moment the door closed, Emily’s emotions, which she had been holding back for so long, finally broke free. “Grandpa Charles-”

Her tears streamed down in big, heavy drops, her voice choked with suppressed sobs of pain.

Austin felt a sharp pain in his chest watching her. He couldn’t help but reach out, pulling her into his arms and gently patting her back. “Go ahead and cry, Emily. If your heart hurts, just let it out. I’ll always be here for you.”

His words were like opening the floodgates, and Emily could no longer hold back. She broke down, sobbing uncontrollably. Her cries were heart-wrenching, tearing straight through the silence.

Ever since Charles passed away, she’d been wound so tight, afraid to let herself break down. Especially after the funeral, it was like she’d been holding her breath, stuck in limbo, never able to let it out.

But now, at that moment, she finally let go, letting the tidal wave of grief swallow her whole.

Her sobs turned raw and hoarse, the kind of sound that could break anyone’s heart and bring tears to their eyes.

She had no idea how long she had cried. Eventually, her sobs faded, and she drifted off to sleep, completely exhausted.
