Chapter 239 The Note Saying Goodbye VS Karma VS Mrs. James Has Come

"Boss, don't you belong to the Shaws?" Carol quickly followed her and asked carefully, "Why do they call you

James?"

Grace stopped at the door of her room. She turned around and landed her gaze on Carol, whose eyes were filled

with fear. Grace understood at a glance that the girl in front of her had changed. Carol was no longer the

innocent girl that she used to be. Instead, she had becincreasingly cautious.

"Carol, you're afraid of me, aren't you?"

Grace asked. But Carol didn't answer her question.

Her tender face turned red in a second. Everyone could tell her embarrassment. She said, "No, boss. Why would |

be afraid of you? You are the kindest to me."

Grace touched Carol's face with her cold hand. Carol trembled and secretly looked at her boss through the

eyelids. However, she didn't expect that she would bump into a pair of eyes filled with grief. Grace looked

thoughtful yet helpless. Carol was at a loss of words, "Boss ..."

"Carol, | don't know my name, either.

My grandfather namedGrace James when | was born. He is a James. So is my father. | was the daughter of

the James family.

Then, Grandpa passed away. | made a mistake by offending someone that | shouldn't. | was no longer a James

since then.

Afterwards, speople toldthat my surnwas 'Shaw', and | was Grace Shaw from then on.

I don't know what my nis, but | feel more at ease when you callboss."

She wiped the tears off Carol's face with her thumb and said, "Good girl, what are you crying for?" After thinking

for a while, she walked into her bedroom and waved to Carol at the door. "Cin," she said. With that, she

opened a safe in the corner and carefully took out a file bag from it, saying, "Carol, what's wrong? Sit down."

As she spoke to Carol, Grace sat down on a chair beside her and opened the file bag in her hand. She said, "If |

leave this world one day, take this and go find Mr. Nielson of HC Law Firm. Jonas Nielson. ‘Memory Inn' is very

important to me. It's more important than my life. If | die, be strong and helptake care of this place, won't

you?"

Naive and innocent as Carol was, she could still tell that something was wrong. "Boss, you're not going to...leave,

are you?" Actually, Carol felt that Grace's words were more like a note saying goodbye. Nonsense! Long live the

boss!

Carol tried to comfort herself.

Grace stood up and said, "I'll take you somewhere." Without explaining away Carol's doubts, she walked out of

the room with the file bag in her hand.

"Boss, where are you going?"

Grace walked in front, a little anxious, a little staggered. Carol mumbled, "Boss, you are having trouble with your

feet! Slow down."

Following Grace, Carol stood in front of the door in the most remote corner of Memory Inn.

"Boss, you always tell us to stay away from here, don't you?"

Grace ignored her words. She put a key in the hole. With a twist, the door creaked open. Then she pushed the

door and walked in. The room was a little dark. She turned on the light. Carol gasped before saying, "A

picture...of the dead..."

"Carol, don't be afraid.

Her nis Leona. She is a very, very kind girl, like you."

Grace stepped forward to light the lamp and pray for Leona, saying, "Leona was a good girl. She lost her life to

save me.

She lay on my laps and passed away, just like that.

Before closing her eyes, she was still talking about her yearning for this world.

She said that she liked the scenery of Erhai Lake, as well as the distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Her only wish was to run a homestay on the edge of Erhai Lake. It didn't need to be big, and she hoped that

people could be free and happy in her homestay. She didn't want people to be trapped in worldly disputes.

She left without fulfilling her lifelong wish.

She savedwith the price of her life.

So, | have decided to view her wish as my own."

Carol was indeed afraid when the picture of Leona suddenly cinto sight, but she gradually calmed herself as

hearing the story of this girl in the Grace's soothing tone. When she looked at the unfamiliar gir in the picture

again, she could sense her kindness and warmth.

"Boss, you are a good boss. Boss Leona was also a good person."

Hearing this, Grace, who was in front of the incense table, was shocked for a moment. A good person... She

chuckled and stretched her eyebrows. "Leona, this girl said that you are a good person. In these days, only Carol

can use 'a good person' to praise someone." Only a simple girl like Carol would say such words.

"Boss, did | say anything wrong? Boss Leona saved your life. Of course, she was a good person."

"No, you're right." After burning the incense for Leona, Grace wiped her hands and turned around to smile at

Carol. She said, "You are right, Carol. If possible, | hope that you can always be yourself for the rest of your life.

It's good."

She spoke very seriously, but the girl opposite her was obviously confused. Grace thought for a moment and

shook her head ... Forgot it. It was best if she couldn't understand.

If Carol could understand, then she would beca complicated person... That was not a good thing.

She picked up the file bag that had just been put aside, and handed it to Carol, saying, "Carol, do you like

Memory Inn?"

"1 like it."

"Then, if | am about to leave Memory Inn for a long time, can you take care of this homestay?"

"I'm very familiar with the procedures of checking in and checking out. The aunts will take care of the restaurant

and tidying up the rooms, and the garden will also be made neat... Boss, what's wrong? You're strange today."

"Carol, listen carefully. When | leave, take this portfoand go to find Mr. Nielson of HC Law Firm.

Mr. Nielson will help you handle all the inheritance formalities for my estate, including the transfer of this lodging

to your name.

But Carol, if you accept this inheritance, you have to promiseone thing.

It's about Leona. You have to promisethat you will burn paper money for her on her death day and every

Tomb-sweeping Day. Also, you should clean up this place every 15 days."

"Boss, what on earth are you talking about? What does inheritance mean?

Why are you givingan inheritance? Why are you talking tolike you are about to die?

Boss! Was it because of that bad guy today?

It's him, right?

He is going to hurt you, isn't he?

No! I don't want it!"

"Calm down, Carol." Grace wanted to persuade her, but Carol was too stubborn to listen. Grace could only hug

her tightly in the arms. "Carol, don't be so excited. Do you want to know the reason?" Hearing this, Carol stopped

struggling and said, "Alright, I'll calm down. Boss, tellthe reason. Why are you suddenly tellingyour will?"

"First of all, notarized wills are no big deals in other countries.

Look, | don't have any relative. The James family doesn't wantanymore.

You have stayed by my side for the past three years. | can rest assured to give you my will.

Secondly, | am not about to die. | tell you about it, just in case. I'm not in great health. What if | die young? Who

will I give my inheritance to if something unexpected happens? | have no relatives. So, | have to write a notary

will in advance. Right?

Or rather, are you hoping that my inheritance will be given to those families who don't wantanymore?"

"Really? Is that what foreigners do? Just in case?"

"Yes. If I lie to you, my nose will grow longer, just like Pinocchio."

“Alright.”

Carol pursed her lips. She was still a little unhappy, but she had stopped making trouble. Grace touched Carol's

head with her hand. A smile appeared on the corners of Grace's lips... "Carol is such an innocent girl. | hope that

she will fall in love with someone and live a happy life," Grace said to herself.

On the way to the hospital, Caden slowly opened his eyes.

"Jesus. You're finally awake." Ingemar heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Why did you work so hard? Since you

cto Dali, you haven't had a good rest. In these three years, you've been as busy as a top. Do you really

think of yourself as Iron Man?"

Caden raised his hand and touched the gauze wrapping around his head. He suddenly becclear. He opened

the mouth and said hoarsely, "He did this to me?"

Although it was a question, Caden was certain of the answer.

"Can you remember now?

It looks like you're quite sturdy. The tumble didn't hurt you much. No wonder your precious baby thought that

you were pretending to be dizzy so that others would pity you. She thought you were playing a trick again.

Interesting."

Hearing Ingemar's ridicule, Caden's heart tensed up. He felt somewhere painful. And he had no idea that

whether his head ached or his heart ached. He took a few deep breaths before saying, "Don't blher."

"Hey, are you nuts?" Ingemar couldn't listen anymore. "You fell hard to the ground like that. She just watched

coldly and taunted you for being a hypocrite, saying that you were playing a new trick again. And you are telling
