Heritage

" I really don't know about it." Adora shook her head helplessly, with a trace of confusion on her face, but also a trace of happiness. "But now that I think about it, it's really unexpected."

Alison blinked and said : "Okay, okay, I believe you."

Night

In the dark sky, the stars twinkled, like the flowers in the sky, giving people endless reverie. Alison had fallen asleep during the conversation, only Adora still had trouble falling asleep, tossing and turning in bed. However, this was not the first time she couldn't sleep. Since her parents passed away, it has been difficult for her to sleep well.

After turning over again, she still couldn't sleep. Adora simply sat up with a thin quilt, resting her chin on her knees and sighing. It seems that if she exhales more, the big stone in her heart will be lighter.

The girl was in a daze again, and Patrick's face came to her mind unconsciously. After sitting in the quilt for a long time, Adora finally developed a little sleepiness. She lay down and slept for a while before being woken up by someone.

It was dawn. Today was the day she was discharged from the hospital. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Alison standing by her bed, saying happily, "Let's go, we're going home."

Perhaps she was infected by Alison's happiness, and she smiled unconsciously. The two packed up and set off to return to Adora's home.

"Are you nervous?" Alison asked Adora, holding her hand.

Adora looked at Alison in silence. It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. She returned to the place full of memories with her parents again. From three people to two people, she felt infinite emotion.

It felt like driving for a long time and came to a quiet suburb. There was only a mansion around. The white exterior walls and large floor-to-ceiling windows complemented each other, giving people a fresh and elegant feeling. The roof adopts a flat roof design, with simple geometric shapes, which looks both fashionable and stable.

Adora opened the door and walked into the room, a little dazed.

Alison opened the curtains to make the space brighter. Large glass windows bring sunlight into every corner, and light and shadow sway gently on the smooth wooden floor.

Alison sat on the sofa and patted it to signal Adora to sit down: "It seems that not much has changed."

Adora remained silent at first, then pursed her lips and was about to speak when she was interrupted by the doorbell.

The girl stood up and checked the screen of the door in the smart doorbell. The screen showed a smiling middle-aged man, wearing a well-tailored dark suit, standing at the door with a briefcase in his hand.

Adora touched the screen and turned on the video call function: "Hello! May I ask who you are...?"

"I am the lawyer appointed by your father. My name is Eugene and I am here to visit you." The other party responded friendly and the voice came clearly.

Adora smiled politely: "Please wait, I'll open the door."

The door slowly opened, and the lawyer came to the house with a kind face and said softly: "I'm sorry you have to go through such pain. Your father entrusted me to manage his estate before he died. Now I need to talk to you about related matters."

Adora looked directly at the lawyer and said: "Please sit down, what do you mean by estate..."

The lawyer sighed slightly, and then said: "Your father mentioned in his will that only by completing the task he told you to do can you get the estate." He took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Adora.

Adora took the document and was confused: "What did he tell you to do?"

The lawyer cleared his throat and explained patiently: "According to the will, you need to complete one task."

A's heart tightened, and he asked in disbelief: "One task? Which task?"

The lawyer nodded: "Yes, the task is to find the person you love and marry him."

The person I love?

The death of her parents made Adora feel hopeless, and now she has to face the task they left behind. Maybe these are what they want. Thinking of the company and industry that her parents have worked so hard to build, she took a deep breath and decided not to escape. She agreed: "Okay, I will do it."

The lawyer smiled slightly, as if he was pleased with Adora's determination: "I will fully support you. In the process of completing these things, if you need any help, please feel free to contact me."

Alison suddenly said: "Then this house can't be lived in, right?"

Alison and Adora both looked at the lawyer, waiting for the lawyer's reply. The result was as expected. The lawyer replied: "Yes."

"It's okay, you can live in my house, my family will welcome you very much." Alison saw that Adora was a little overwhelmed and comforted her. It is understandable to feel overwhelmed when you suddenly can't live in your original home. Although Alison's home is a little far from Adora's original home, it is also a stopgap measure.

As the lawyer left, Adora fell into deep thought. She was thinking about how to get the inheritance in a short time. This is the hard work of her parents, and she must take it back and protect it well. If she can't even protect these, she will blame herself even more.

Seeing the girl so entangled, Alison wanted to change the subject: "Didn't Patrick invite you to dinner after you were discharged from the hospital that day? Didn't you tell him that you were discharged from the hospital?"

Alison's words reminded Adora, she slowly opened her phone and sent a message to Patrick thoughtfully
