The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4581

The old lady looked at Charlie Wade, surprised to see him so young. She said respectfully, “Master Ye, thank you for your kindness on behalf of our family!”

Charlie Wade quickly replied, “Grandma, there’s no need to be so formal. Uncle Zhong was my father’s best friend. Helping you is the least I can do.”

Then he asked with concern, “How are you feeling now? Do you have any discomfort?”

The old lady paused for a moment, then said in surprise, “Oh, now that you mention it… I don’t feel any discomfort at all.”

She tried to sit up by herself and noticed that her body felt light. Just recently, she had suffered a stroke and was close to death, but now she felt completely different—surprisingly good.

Her children stood by, shocked and speechless.

Since her stroke, the old lady’s health had declined rapidly. Doctors had believed she was near death and would pass away within a day or two.

But after her eldest son, Chen Zhaozhong, fed her an unknown elixir, she not only showed no signs of a stroke but also had a radiant face. It was hard to believe.

Chen Zhaozhong looked at Charlie Wade and asked eagerly, “Master Ye, can my mother go home now?”

Charlie Wade nodded, “Yes, there’s really no need for her to stay in the hospital any longer.”

Overjoyed, Chen Zhaozhong turned to his mother and exclaimed, “Mom, let’s go home!”

The old lady quickly replied, “Wait! Don’t rush back. We finally have a reunion. We need to go to Shaling first. You haven’t been back in so many years, so we must go there together!”

“Pay your respects to your father first!”

Chen Zhaozhong was surprised. “Dad is buried in Shaling? That place is so remote. I remember it was where the Hong Kong government used to bury unclaimed bodies…”

His younger brother, Chen Zhaozu, quickly explained, “Brother, you haven’t been back to Hong Kong Island in years. You might not know that it’s hard for regular people to find a decent burial spot there. Prices for cemeteries have skyrocketed. Now, a good one can cost millions, and even a columbarium can run four to five hundred thousand.”

Chen Zhaozu’s eyes filled with tears as he continued, “Before Dad passed away, we spent nearly all our money trying to get him medical help. After he was gone, we couldn’t afford a proper burial at all…”

He added, “At that time, we couldn’t even pay for a columbarium. The Shaling Cemetery was about to be developed, and new plots were being made available. It was Miss Fang who helped us secure a spot for Dad in Shaling. Being able to bury him in a proper cemetery, instead of just a columbarium, is something truly special.”

Chen Zhaozhong’s little sister chimed in, her voice shaky, “I can’t help but feel we failed as children… If we had been more capable, Miss Fang wouldn’t have had to step in. Liu Jiahui was really harsh with her…”

Chen Zhaozhong frowned and asked, “Jiaxin… Does Mrs. Liu come here often?”

His sister replied, “She used to come a lot, especially when Liu Jiahui first married her.”

She was fond of her parents, and they relied on her for support, so she often visited them. However, after her father passed away, her visits became less frequent, and she seemed less concerned. Recently, when her mother was hospitalized, she came by to offer some money, but we didn’t accept it.

She paused for a moment, then said, “Brother… over the years, thanks to Miss Fang’s support, our family has done well. So, please don’t hold too much anger towards her for what happened in the past.”

Chen Zhaozhong’s expression turned complicated. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why haven’t you told me about this before?”

His sister hesitated and replied, “Miss Fang asked us not to tell you. She feels she has hurt you deeply and doesn’t want to bring you more trouble.”

At that moment, Chen Zhaozhong felt a mix of emotions. Even though he had moved on from Jiaxin leaving him, hearing that she still cared for his family after all these years stirred something in his heart.

Sometimes, when someone is completely heartless, it’s easier for the one who was hurt to move on. But this situation was different. Discovering that she still held a place for him in her heart made it harder for him to let go…
