Ice and Fire novel Chapter 255

"Grandpa!" Jackson couldn't help but shout when he heard Andrew mentioning his death.

Andrew patted Jackson's hand, and said, "My grandson, I'm old now, and it's a normal that eventually all people die some day. No one can stop this."

Jackson was so upset that he couldn't say a word anymore.

Andrew suddenly fixed his eyes on his grandson, and said, "Jackson, I'm planning to transfer all my power to you. Then, I'll have nothing to worry about anymore."

Jackson knew what was the power that his Grandpa meant. With that power, he would have a huge army at his disposal with which he could control all the grandees in the city.

Jackson declined Andrew's offer, and said, "Grandpa, you should keep the token for now, I don't need it. Besides, I have Bobby at my side, and he can still help me to do a lot of things." He thought that if his Grandpa still held the token, he would think that he still had responsibility, and that he would forget sometimes that he was old. Jackson hoped that Andrew could live as long as he could to accompany him for more time.

Andrew was astonished by his reply, and asked, "You really don't want it?" He thought to himself, 'Why did my grandson turn me down? The token is always there for him, and he knows that's impossible for me to give the token to someone else. Why didn't he accept it?'

Jackson nodded, and said, "Grandpa, I don't want to have it now, and I hope that you can keep it for longer."

Jackson still didn't say what he wanted to.

His real thought was 'Grandpa, I hope that you can be with us forever.'

Andrew looked at his stubborn grandson and didn't insist anymore. He nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll keep it safe for you."

Jackson also nodded.

Andrew sighed, and said, "Jackson, can't you still forgive your sister, Lucia?"

When Andrew talked about Lucia, Jackson showed his cold face, and said, "I will never allow her to come here again!"

Seeing that Jackson was still mad at Lucia, Andrew tried to persuade him to reconsider, and said, "Jackson, although she isn't related to you, I've always considered her as my own granddaughter. You know what kind of person she is, and you know that she just likes showing off her wealth. Sometimes she talks in a very straightforward manner, but she is a nice person, and she isn't mean deep down inside."

Jackson said nothing and thought to himself, 'How can I forgive someone who has insulted my woman? Even if she's Lucia, I won't let her go so easily.'
