Ice and Fire

In the morning, Cherry was woken up with a start by the ringing of her mobile phone.

Cherry picked up her phone sleepily and answered without identifying the caller.

"Hello, " said Cherry.

Hearing her listless voice on the phone, Jackson did not want to disturb her from her sleep. He simply said, "Babe."

Cherry opened her eyes immediately and her sleepiness disappeared completely.

"Yes?" Cherry answered.

"Haven't you gotten up yet?" asked Jackson.

"No, I haven't. I'm still in bed, " said Cherry. Then she asked, "What's up? Why are you calling?"

"I'm coming to your house to pick you up. Then we'll drive to the military residential compound and see my grandpa, " said Jackson, quietly.

When she heard him mention the military residential compound, Cherry immediately asked, "Is Grandpa fine?"

"No idea. He just called and asked us to come back, " Jackson answered.

Cherry knew that grandpa's order couldn't be disobeyed, so she said nothing else. Then she told Jackson, "I'm getting up."

"Ok, I'm coming for you. Wait for a while, " Jackson answered.

"All right."

Jackson reached Cherry's house and picked her up. Then they drove to the military residential compound together.

When they entered the yard, they saw John's car parked there. They exchanged astonished looks, but said nothing. Both of them saw that John had arrived already. Perhaps he was not alone.

Jackson took Cherry's hand and walked into the Chu residence together.
