Ice and Fire novel Chapter 291

"Cherry, the party will start soon. I've brought for you and Jackson the the evening dress and tux. Quick, go and change into them together with Jackson in the hotel and I'll help you with the makeup after. Then we can go straight to the party, " said Selina quickly.

"Selina..." but before Cherry could finish what she wanted to say, she was interrupted by Andrew.

"Well, hurry up, you heard her! You'd better go and change your clothes now, the butler will take good care of me, don't worry, " said Andrew.

Jackson then looked into his Grandpa's eyes and knew what was his first priority. He had no other choice but to listen to his grandfather's words.

He then replied to him with a nod.

Derek didn't say a word until he saw that Jackson agreed to go. He then said to Andrew, "Well, Grandpa, we're leaving now, but we'll be back to see you as soon as the party is over."

"No, no! You don't need to come back here again. I'll only sleep here for one night, and will come back home tomorrow morning. I really can't stand the smell of disinfectant in here anyway, and it's better for me to stay at home, " said Andrew while smiling.

"Okay. I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning then, " said Jackson.

"Alright, alright. Hurry up now!" said Andrew, as he waved his hand to them gesturing to leave already.

The moment the four got out of the ward, an irritated expression immediately appeared on Selina's face.

She then turned to Derek, and said, "Derek, you drive to the hotel by yourself. I'll take Cherry's car instead of yours."

Judging from her tone, Derek could clearly notice that there was something wrong with Selina. He looked at her puzzled, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, I just don't want to take your car, " said Selina, as she held Cherry's arm. She then said to her, "Come on, Cherry, let's go."

Cherry didn't comment on any of it. She just smiled at Selina, and went together with her.

Jackson kept silent and just quietly walked ahead.

As soon as they arrived in the hotel room, Jackson went to change into his tuxedo in the bedroom, while Selina helped Cherry do her makeup in the living room. Derek was just standing at the window, watching the scenery outside.

Selina suddenly whispered to Cherry, "Does it hurt?"

Even though she said it in a low voice, Derek still heard it, and he quickly turned his head to look at them. He saw that Selina was staring at Cherry's face, half of which was red and swollen. He then thought to himself, 'Did Jackson hit her? What happened?'
