Gloria's words caused tears to fall from everyone present.
Sabrina was sobbing.
Marcus had a tear-stricken face.
Even Marcus's parents had reddened eyes.
Sebastian, who was always cold and ruthless, was moved as well.
Sebastian called out in a low voice, "Mother..."
After that, he hugged Gloria with one arm. “Mother, you won't have to suffer anymore. From now on, you have your daughter, your son-in-law, and even your little tyrant of a granddaughter to stand up for you."
Pausing, he said, "After a few days, when everything is settled, we will move Sabrina's grandmother's grave over and give her a proper burial. She was an impressive woman. She managed to raise you for over ten years despite being so ill.
"Not only that, she even left behind so many valuable things.
"She’s a woman who deserves our respect."
After Sebastian’s words, Marcus hugged Gloria's legs a s he cried, "That’s right, Aunt Gloria. I've always admired my grandaunt. I could see that she was an
outstanding woman, and I would always go to her house to visit her.”
After that, Marcus seemed to have thought of something. "That's right, Aunt. That little nest next to the rubbish site near my grandaunt's home, did you stay there?"
Gloria nodded in acknowledgement. "It’s mine. I wanted to be closer to my mother. I was afraid she would be lonely.
"However, I can no longer enter the home I stayed in when I was young.
"I heard someone bought it, so it's no longer my home. So, I can only stay nearby, looking at it from afar."
"You’re all regretting it sincerely, and you want to make amends for the sake of your conscience.
"What about me? Should I bear that suffering? Since you've made those mistakes, then you should carry those mistakes with you for your whole lives. I don’t blame you, but I won't forgive you either, I don't want anything to do with all of you."
After that, Gloria said to Sabrina and Sebastian," Sabbie, Sebastian, let's go home, I’m too tired. I’ve said so much, I’ve explained everything that I should. Let’s go.
Sabrina replied, "Okay."
After that, Sabrina and Sebastian walked out with Gloria, both of them supporting Gloria in the middle.
They left Old Master Shaw behind, sitting on the floor sobbing.
An old man who was almost ninety years old had suffered so much in just one morning.
