Chapter 311 Private Jet to Switzerland
"You must comfort him more, his hair has already turned white," Phillipe said to Abella. It was impossible for this to happen unless he was overwhelmed with grief. Phillipe knew the pain of losing a loved one, so he patted Abella's head and said, "You are his pillar of support now."
"Yes, I will take care of him," Abella responded.
...
The day after the funeral, Abella paid a visit to the place where her grandmother used to live. The garden, long neglected, was filled with wilted flowers and plants. Fallen leaves and decaying flowers covered the cobblestone path. Everything seemed lifeless after her grandmother's departure.
Abella had the entire villa cleaned inside and out. She then went to her grandmother's old bedroom, turned a wall lamp, and the entire wardrobe moved aside to reveal a hidden room.
This room contained all the items her grandmother had cherished during her lifetime. Some were valuable items Abella had given her, some were property deeds and bankbooks in her name, and others were collections she had gathered throughout her life. They were all left as a dowry for Abella.
In a corner of the room was a safe. Abella entered the code and, upon successful recognition, retrieved the contents. Among them was a jade thumb ring that her grandmother had intended to give to Phillipe. But now... things had changed.
After reminiscing for a while, Abella opened her backpack and packed everything into it. These were the items her grandmother had protected with her life, and she couldn't leave them for Mr. Wilson and his ilk.
In the hidden room, Abella also found a large box. Inside were her doodles and letters to her grandmother from her childhood. The letters promised that when she grew up, she would take her grandmother around the world and provide her with a better life...
Upon reading these, Abella felt a pang in her heart. She never thought that such innocent promises would be stored in the hidden room along with the world's treasures. In grandmother's heart, her granddaughter must have been more valuable than any treasure, right?
With these thoughts, Abella recalled the kind old woman and the life they had shared together...
Finally, she slung her backpack over her shoulder, picked up the box, and after returning the wardrobe to its original position, she went downstairs and handed the box to her subordinate.
"Send it to my bedroom in Valleydale."
"Boss, your grandma left you such a box of treasures?" her subordinate asked incredulously, taking the box and peering inside. "What's this? Drawings by kindergarten kids?"
The box also contained many other items, including crafts she had given her grandmother when she was a child, handmade gifts, and so on, all perfectly preserved in the box.
"Yes," Abella replied succinctly, taking a last look at the villa. "Remember to change the locks after cleaning."
She couldn't afford to give Isla any opportunities.
"Notify the property management about Isla."
She couldn't let her take advantage!
" The idiot, Mr. Wilson, must have been here before. There are signs of rummaging everywhere," her subordinate commented, finding it hard to believe that such people existed.
Abella's eyes turned cold. Mr. Wilson had no idea that there was a secret room behind her grandmother's wardrobe...
That was why they hadn't found any treasures when they had previously searched the place!
"Boss, did Grandma also leave this villa to you?"
"Yes."
But if she could, Abella would rather not have her grandmother's possessions. She just wanted her grandmother to be alive and well...
After leaving the villa, Abella got into the car and gave the jade thumb ring to Phillipe. "This is for my grandma’s future grandson-in-law."
Phillipe was moved to find that Grandma had prepared a gift for him before she passed away.
"Take it," Abella leaned back in her seat, her mind filled with memories, and her heart ached even more...
This long summer vacation was about to end.
About a week before a new semester, Abella suddenly received a phone call.
"Abella, you, you need to come quickly, Mr. Walker is about to do something foolish! He won't listen to anyone!!!"
Phillipe, who was sitting next to her, asked softly after she hung up,"What happened?"
"I need to go to Switzerland," Abella got up and walked out, with a tense expression. "There's something wrong with Mr. Walker."
"I'll go with you."
Phillipe offered his private jet, and they landed at Mr. Walker's private estate as quickly as possible.
The butler, Paul, rushed up to them,"Abella, it's terrible! And this... this gentleman is...?"
"Phillipe, my fiancé," Abella replied succinctly, and moved forward with quick steps. "What happened to Mr. Walker?"
Paul nodded at Phillipe and hurried to keep up with Abella, explaining as they walked,"Mr. Walker has been refusing to eat, sleep, or drink since he returned from the funeral. He just stares at Mrs. Wilson's photo in a daze..."
Abella entered the main hall, where many servants bowed to greet her. It was clear that she had been here before, and the servants recognized her and treated her with great respect.
Abella nodded in response, her long legs carrying her into the elevator. "And then?"
Paul pressed the button for the second floor and continued,"Every time you called to check on him, Mr. Walker would pretend he was fine, but he wasn't... He didn't want us to tell you. He just kept saying that he didn't want to live, that life was meaningless..."
How could it be like this?
Abella had been calling him every day, sometimes even video calling...
"Well," Paul added,"Every time he made video calls with you, he would have someone do his makeup to make him look more energetic..."
Because they were separated by a phone screen, and because Mr. Walker always deliberately kept a distance from the camera, either pretending to be gardening or showing Abella the scenery of the estate, and with his deliberately cheerful laughter, Abella had not noticed anything amiss!
It had been more than ten days since her grandmother's funeral, and all Abella knew was that after the funeral, Mr. Walker had given Mr. Wilson a beating at the police station.
Since he wasn't her grandmother's blood relative, she didn't care that he had been beaten...
Now she realized that Mr. Walker had not only disciplined Mr. Wilson, but also made things difficult for Mrs. Wilson, and had been checking on her daily, giving her advice as if he were indirectly leaving his last words...
She knew that Mr. Walker was planning to stay in Switzerland, but she didn't think much of it because he owned many properties and sometimes went to France or Italy...
But Abella never expected the reason for Mr. Walker's visit to Switzerland!
Paul added,"Mr. Walker stopped eating and drinking, and finally applied for euthanasia..."
In most countries, euthanasia is not allowed!!
However, in Switzerland, applying for euthanasia is legal, though it must be performed by the people themselves, Otherwise it would be considered as murder...
