Family heirloom

The lawyers sitting across from me were more than all the lawyers I had seen in my entire life. As I awkwardly looked at the group of lawyers, Grandfather started talking. 

"I want to sell one percent of the hospital shares to Dawn."

"What do you mean grandfather, have you finally lost it? Where do I get that kind of money?" I was so shocked that I said my inner thoughts without thinking.

"Shhh! Be quiet, you're only here to sign wherever I say! Mutter another word and you're out!" He shut me up and continued.

"As I was saying, it will be a transaction. She's getting paid for doing an errand of mine. I want the documents until the end of the day!" as he finished, all the lawyers rushed out.

 He was trying to shut the other relatives were finding out about the transfer. So, even the almighty Dr. Miracle couldn't act fearlessly.

As if he understood what was going on in my thought he snapped at me.

"I only hate complications. Now wipe off that smug look or there will be no villa for you!"

"Don't you need permission before giving the villa?" I said before I could control myself and as an answer I got hit by his slipper right in the face. For the 100th time, I confirmed where Mom's violent side comes from.

"You know, we can talk it out, right?" I said as jumped over and guarded behind the sofa. The next thing that hit my head was rather edgy. 

"Take that and get lost from my sight! You ungrateful.." Looking at the big envelope, my eyes got watery. "Grandpa!.." as I was trying to hug him, he backed down.

"Don't get too emotional! That Villa is an heirloom and can only get passed down to your children or grandchildren. Therefore, no one was that interested in it. I only give it to you cause I'm too old to take care of it. However, if it is as much as a little damaged, you will pay for it, understood? It is my grandmother's beloved mansion, so you better cherish it dearly! Now get lost before I change my mind!" Grandfather said in his usually arrogant tone. As I knew he wasn't joking about his mod flip, I ran to the door.

"Grandpa, love you!", I shouted with a red face as I closed the door.

"Bang", probably the sound of grandfather's other slipper hitting the door. Well, Grandfather is not a man of words, more of an action person.

When I was about to feel relieved that I didn't see any familiar faces in the elevator, I saw Grandmother Miracle getting out of her car.

I turned around to run away.

"Dawn!", she called out to me.

I put on a smile and turned back.

"Hi, Grandmother! Such a coincidence! Are you here to see Grandfather?"

"Why should I visit that crazy old man? I'm here for my beauty routine! Look at that white face! Did you collapse?", as I was about to answer' No I saw a ghost' she began nagging.

"Whoever looks at that face thinks you're studying something important like your siblings! If you can't achieve anything, at least take care of yourself so you can marry rich! Do you even have a boyfriend? What am I even asking? Who would want to date you when you don't even dress up?" 

"Grandma! Isn't that Miss Fox? Our Hospital is famous isn't it?" I changed the subject, pointing at the famous model, getting out of her car, before she could set me up with one of her friends' weird grandsons. 

And then, pretending I got a call from the imaginary school I work at, I said "goodbye", flying away from her.

That night, as I was planning a trip to my new property, I got a package containing the deed for my 1% ownership of the hospital.

I have never been richer before! Owning a mansion! Having a loaded bank account! 0.1% of a big hospital worth almost 2 billion dollars and technically, I have a grown child too. Honestly, it scared me how fast my life had progressed to this level. Myself at the beginner level.

[Next Morning]

Waking up after just two hours of sleep, I started looking for my driver's license and car keys, which I found in the deepest corner of my desk driver. After getting accepted into medical university, I rarely used them. Thou, for a long time now, the car that I stole from Divine and refused to give back, is in my grandfather's parking. So after finding them, I got on my bike and pedaled for one hour before arriving at his house's door.

Only to find that the petty brother of mine had taken it away from there. I knew I should have covered it with more garbage! Damn you Divine! Now thanks to dear Divine, my life isn't complete anymore! I miss a car!

I was dying to know what my war loot; my new mansion looked like. Therefore, I tried asking my grandfather for one of his cars.

"Do you think I will trust you with one of my babies? You're not being funny. Be grateful for what you have got and get lost before your grandma wakes up!" was the answer he gave me with a scary face.

"Where did the generous grandfather from yesterday go?!" I asked, faking a pitiful look.

"Ugh, now I lost my appetite! Your grandmother was right, you will never find someone to marry!" he replied to my cutesy acting, pretending to be about to throw up.

'As if he didn't hinder my marriage further by luring me into adopting a child', I thought, even though I did not dare to say it out loud, as he seemed to have a lack of sleep. Grandfather was usually like a beast that only barked, but when he lacked sleep, he would also bite.

"I felt like I was too generous and couldn't sleep well, seeing that God wasn't that generous with you. I feel like I can sleep well! Shoo, go out before I call security to kick you out." I was so speechless that I couldn't even show any reactions. Grandfather is still the devil he was. I will only treat what I received as compensation for all the emotional damages he caused me.
