Chapter 235 Ebony Burst into Tears


After closing the door, Ebony leaned against the door to listen to the footsteps of Lloyd.


At the sound of the door of the next room closing, Ebony slowly walked back and sat on the bed.


There were many documents on her bed.


In her computer was a web page of shares in Eglelish where wavy lines of data spread.


Ebony picked up the computer, clicked on another web page, and saw the words "successful bidding" again.


A smile occured on her face.


In fact, she just shouted, not because of her grandfather's legacy but because she reached a bidding cooperation agreement with an overseas company five minutes ago.


After closing the computer, Ebony picked up a document beside her.


The title of the document was "Rhonten Group".


The document consisted of the latest stock price data sheet and the comprehensive project arrangement finalization of Rongtian Group.


After a short laugh, Ebony put all the documents away, grabbed the backpack not far away, and planned to put them in it.


At the moment, she saw the white envelope in the backpack.


That was her grandfather's letter to her.


She pursed her lips and then took it out. She held it tightly for a while but didn't dare to open it to read.


She thought she'd better not read it again...


She didn't finish reading the letter in the afternoon because she burst into tears after reading just two pages of the letter.


She couldn't help pinching the envelope tightly until her fingertips turned pale.


After taking a deep breath, she summoned up the courage to open the letter again.


She had read the front part of the letter which was the kind greeting of her grandfather.


-- Ebs, how are you now?


Patter!


A tear fell to the center of the page.


Ebony quickly raised her head, grabbed a tissue and pressed her eyes with it.


After the tears were wiped away, she sniffed and continued to read the letter.


-- When you read this letter, you must be twenty years old. Grandpa wishes you a happy birthday. By the way, Grandpa wants to give you a gift.


The tissue was soon soaked through by her tears.


She instantly fetched two more tissues and pressed her eyes.


"Grandpa..." She murmured softly and continued to read the letter while pursing her lips.


-- Shh, keep it a secret from your grandmother. This is my private money. Your grandmother doesn't know it. By the way, how is your grandmother? She is always obsessed with scientific researches, and only has numbers and mathematics in her mind. She is often busy with work and forgets to have meals. Do you always remind her to remember to have meals?


Ebony turned her head and burst into tears.


When preparing the legacy, her grandfather must have never expected that he would die in the same car accident with her grandmother.


-- How is your father? Is he still the same as before? Does he still pay full attention as soon as he starts working? Alas, he will die at the front sooner or later if he keeps doing that.


Her father was still alive when her grandfather wrote the letter.


-- I've received several phone calls from my old friends recently. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. But they asked me to attend their funerals. So I want to write a will, in case that I won't leave any words to you if I suddenly pass away one day.


-- I don't know how long I can live. I hope I can live longer, so that I can spend more time with your grandmother and you as well as can see you grow up and marry.


"Grandpa, I won't marry." Ebony's eyes were swollen with tears. She looked at the letter in her hands and said, "Victor cheated me a lot, so I don't want anyone except you and father. I will accompany you all my life!"


-- Don't say such silly things as not getting married!


Ebony, "..."


She wiped her eyes with a tissue to make sure she saw the words clearly and then muttered, "How did grandpa guess my thoughts?"


The conversation between her and her grandfather seemed to continue because the next words in the letter were her grandfather's reply to her question.


-- You always like to say something about not getting married. I know it's because of your mother. But Ebs, the fact that your mother is not a good mother does not mean that you will not be a good mother. If you have a baby, you will be a very responsible mother. Grandpa believes in you.


Ebony sobbed and didn't say anything. When she was a child, she really hated the word "mother" because people always said she didn't have a mother, so she often said something like she would never be a mother.


-- In fact, Grandpa thinks your Little Senior is good.


Little Senior?


Ebony blinked in curiosity and continued to read the letter.


-- I don't know if he is married. Your Little Senior has had a docile temper since he was a child. He was careful in filling prescriptions and was very upstanding. He always took good care of you. If you are with him, Grandpa will be relieved.


Little Seinor? Ebony thought about him for a while. Except for calling her Eldest Senior a few days ago, she hadn't heard from her Second Elder Senior and Little Senior for a long time.


It seemed that Little Senior had gone abroad.


But Little Senior was ten years elder than her, so he probably got married.


-- You and your Little Senior both study medicine, so you'll have a lot to talk with each other. You are really a good match. Are you still studying medicine now? You won't learn math with your grandma, will you?


Ebony, "..."


She kept silent and didn't dare to say that she did not study medicine or mathematics or join the army. She went to be a star!


If her grandfather knew that, he would be so angry that he would run to her from his grave to knock her on the head!


-- However, if you really like math, I will support you. Whatever you want to do, I will support you.


Ebony burst into tears again, quickly grabbed two tissues and wiped her tears.


-- Ebs, in fact, I don't know what else I can talk to you, because you are actually at the door of the study and peeping at what I am writing.


-- Oh, another thing I want to tell you is that I didn't steal your music box. I just moved it to another place. You will see the music box as long as you can solve my puzzle for you. My Ebs is so smart that she can decipher it, right?


Ebony felt very sad and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, I was not smart at all. I was totally a fool. I didn't find anything in my previous life. I went to the ancestral house, but I found nothing. I was very stupid!"


-- Ebs, if grandpa is really gone one day, don't be sad. It's human nature to live and die. When I'm too old, I will go to heaven to enjoy myself. When you are old and go to heaven, we'll meet. Then I will take you to see angels and the Milky Way. Don't you like fairy tales? The immortals in those stories are all in heaven, and I'll go to be a immortal.


Cheat!


-- Oh, that seems to be a lie to a child like you, but I really can't imagine what you will be like when you are 20 years old. In my eyes, you will always be a little girl that is clever, eccentric, naive, kind, and sensible. Ebs, I don't have a lot of wishes. I just hope you will always be happy and healthy and never cry, OK?


-- Your beloved grandpa.


The letter was written fifteen years ago.


At that time, Ebony was only five years old and she was still very happy.


Her world hadn't turned to a tragedy yet.


After finishing reading the letter, Ebony folded it well and put it back into the envelope.


Then she made the bed, opened the quilt and lay down.


But half an hour later, she still couldn't fall asleep.


After sniffing a little, Ebony got up, took out the envelop and put it under her pillow.


By doing that, she finally fell asleep.
