Alex said, “Grandma, now that you have a great-granddaughter, your wish has come true. Stop looking down on us grandchildren.”
The old lady replied, “It’s only one great-granddaughter. I want more.”
People are greedy—once one wish is fulfilled, another quickly follows.
Before Belle was born, the York family had hoped for a daughter. Now that she was here, the family’s long streak of having only sons was finally broken. But instead of being content, everyone’s hearts had become a little greedier.
They wanted more daughters.
The old lady said, “If each of you brothers has both a son and a daughter, I’ll be able to rest in peace.”
Alex frowned. “Pah, don’t talk about dying, Grandma. That’s a great blessing! Of course, it’s not that we don’t want both a son and a daughter, but it’s all about destiny. Sure, medical science is advanced now. If we really wanted to, we could use IVF and have as many daughters as we want.”
