Ice and Fire

After he came back to the bedroom, Jackson lied on the bed again, and tightly held Cherry in his arms.

Cherry was almost fully awake, and after she saw Jackson's blurry face, Cherry asked, "With whom did you speak for so long?"

Jackson immediately replied and felt better. He couldn't be more happy when he saw that Cherry was willing to talk with him, and said, "Our grandpa called me immediately after I rang Derek back."

When she heard Jackson talk about Grandpa Andrew, Cherry opened her eyes wide, and asked, "Why did grandpa call?"

There was no doubt that both of them had attached great importance and respect to Grandpa Andrew. His appearance, his walk, and even the mention of his name, represented a kind of distinct cachet.

Jackson asked for Cherry's opinion and looked in her eyes. "Grandpa wants us to go to his military compound and have lunch together with him. Would you like to go?"

Cherry didn't avoid Jackson's gaze, and instead looked back at him, and asked, "Haven't you agreed already?"

When he saw Cherry's face, Jackson nodded, and showed her that she was indeed right.

Cherry then didn't say anything more; she knew that she couldn't ever refuse Grandpa Andrew.

After a while, Cherry said, "Well, let's get up, dress, and wash, then we'll buy a present for grandpa before we go there."

When he heard that Cherry agreed to go, Jackson happily said, "Okay."

In the evening, Jackson drove with Cherry to the family residence, and when they arrived, they walked hand in hand into the living room of the Chu family.

When the butler saw that Jackson and Cherry had arrived, he cheerfully said to Andrew, "Master, Jackson and Cherry have arrived."

Andrew immediately turned around from the window and looked at Jackson and Cherry, but when he looked more closely at her, his heart ached when he saw her emaciated face. How could his granddaughter-in-law ever get to suffer so much?
