Ice and Fire novel Chapter 234

"Cherry, I think some things are not as simple as we imagined, like everything around Jackson is complicated, " Wilson added logically, "I'm not sure whether any of it has anything to do with Sally, it is bizarre though."

"What is?" asked Cherry with curiosity in her eyes as she stared at Wilson.

"When I investigated Jean, it led to some information of Sally's. The day Jean flew out five years ago, Sally left on the flight following Jean's, and what's more, their destinations were the same." Wilson slowly revealed looking into Cherry's eyes.

Cherry stared in disbelief at Wilson, "You mean to say, Jean and Sally are in this together, somehow?"

"Possibly, I think so at least, but, it could be a coincidence." Wilson shared his suspicions and doubts. He thought it was a possibility that the two going to the same place could be sheer coincidence.

Cherry looked away, avoiding eye contact with Wilson. Suddenly, she felt Sally and Jean might have had a close relationship with Jackson, and it bothered her that Jean could be so close to Jackson. What the hell was the connection between them?

Cherry's silence upset Wilson and he wanted to comfort her, "Cherry, my guess could be wrong you know. Don't dwell too much on it before we finish the investigation."

Cherry was lost in her thoughts though, and didn't get what Wilson was saying.

Wilson asked Cherry, "What are you going to do now?"

Cherry shook her head and looked over at Wilson, "Wilson, Jean has met Joe." She said.

"Joe?" Wilson's eyes widened, worried he asked, "Why? How? What does she want?"

"She may be planning to do something bad." Cherry said nervously, "Wilson, I'm afraid Joe might be in danger."

Wilson thought for a moment, looked away, paused and then said, "I don't think so, Jean knows Jackson's power and influence here. She must know that if she dared harm Joe, Jackson won't let her go. I don't think she will go looking for trouble right now."

"I thought that too, but I would go crazy if Joe were in danger. Wilson, I can't let anyone hurt him. I absolutely can't have Joe in danger, " Cherry's agitation could be heard in every word she uttered, and she suddenly grasped Wilson's arm tightly.

Wilson tried to comfort her saying calmly, "Cherry, don't worry. Everything will be fine. Tell Bill to be alert when he drives Joe to school; he should be safe in school, so, you don't need to be so nervous."

Wilson's reassurance comforted her a little, but, she was still feeling uneasy.

When Cherry got home, Joe was playing in the yard. She was delighted seeing him jumping around happily.

"Joe!" Cherry cheerfully called to him.
