Ice and Fire novel Chapter 28

John looked at Cherry and asked,"Is it because of Sally He? Has she come back?"

When John mentioned Sally He, Jackson was shocked and wondered how John had guessed it right.

Cherry could not believe this. She looked at John and asked,"Do you also know her?"

Hearing Cherry's question, John knew that he wasn't wrong. John was now certain that Sally He had come back, because she was the only person, for whom Uncle Jackson could give up everything. So many years had passed, but Sally He was still very important to Jackson. Several years ago, Jackson had stood against everyone to protect Sally He. He had even asked his great-grandfather to order her protection. Now, Sally He had come back, so Jackson did not care about Cherry anymore. Jackson could only love one woman and that woman was Sally He.

John did not answer Cherry's question. Instead, he looked at Jackson and, with irony, said,"Uncle Jackson, after so many years, you've changed but you still love the same woman."

Jackson did not know what to say when he heard this.

"Many years ago, you stood against everyone for Sally He. And now she is back. Will you go back to her?" John looked into Jackson's eyes and was not afraid of him at all.

Cherry listened and suddenly felt that John knew more about Jackson's history than Stephen. But then, she thought that made sense. After all, John was Jackson's nephew, so how could he not know these things?

"John, why did Sally He leave?" Cherry did not know why she asked this question, but she did ask it.

"Because her parents..." Before John finished his sentence, he received a heavy blow.

Jackson had punched John's face angrily. John began to resist and the two men grappled.

"John, if you dare say it, I'll certainly destroy your family!" Jackson coldly threatened.

"Why can't I say it? Why do you want to hide this from Cherr?" John dodged Jackson's punch and said,"I'll take Cherr away. I won't let her be with you and suffer."

Jackson commanded,"She is my woman. Don't you dare take her away."

"Your woman? Do you mean Cherr or Sally He?" John then suddenly asked,"How about I take away Sally He instead?"
