The True Heiress's Return

Oberlin, as its name suggests, was a city surrounded by continuous mountains, and from the summit, one could see the vast ocean. It was nearing noon, the light rain had gradually stopped, and the sun broke through, casting its rays over the deep blue sea, a sight truly refreshing. Shakira stood quietly for a moment, and soon she heard Walter and the others arriving behind her.

"Shakira, thank you for your hard work. Are you exhausted?"

Skyla expressed her gratitude, offering Shakira and Brian warm water. "Take a rest; we'll tidy up a bit." Some time had passed, and new plants had grown around the gravestone, looking a bit wild. Shakira nodded, feeling tired, and sat down on a large rock with Brian.

Walter approached and handed her a dry towel. "You're soaked with sweat; wipe yourself down."

"That Walter with his sharp tongue!' thought Shakira. Brian remarked from the side, "The young master may seem cold, but he's actually caring for Ms. Nelson."

Shakira, annoyed, wiped the dampness from her head, "I think he's just taking this opportunity to criticize me."

Brian scratched his nose, falling silent. After all, it's not the first time the young master has been so childish with Ms. Nelson

The ceremony itself went smoothly, attended only by their family. Skyla sat before the grave, carefully laying out the offerings, talking about many things. By the end, tears filled her eyes, and Elvis helped her to another area to calm down. Walter stayed in front of the grave for a long time. Unlike Skyla, who chattered away, Walter remained silent, quietly burning all the offerings until they turned to ashes.

An hour later, the group made their way back down the mountain.

Before leaving, Shakira walked to the grave. With a determined gaze, she murmured, "Uncle and Aunt, please rest assured, I will do my utmost to heal Walter's legs." After finishing, she bowed and then turned to leave.

Perhaps it was a blessing from the heavens; the weather was beautiful for about an hour on the mountain.
