Ice and Fire novel Chapter 344

"Are you here to look at your former home?" asked Cherry, cautiously.

The moment Cherry finished her question, Mond's face changed. He then looked at Cherry and furiously shouted, "Shut up!"

Inside the study, Andrew was sitting in front of the desk, with Jackson standing beside him. The atmosphere in the study was a little heavy.

"I will call your sister later to tell her not to make any trouble tomorrow. You'd better talk to Cherry also and remind her not mind about past things. I hope that our family will be harmonious and warm, " said Andrew.

"Okay, I got it. Grandpa, don't worry about it! Cherry isn't a mean woman, " said Jackson. He clearly knew what kind of person his wife was, and that she definitely wouldn't bear any grudge against Lucia for what had happened last time. She wasn't narrow-minded like most people are, but instead very generous.

"That's good!" said Andrew, while nodding his head.

Jackson then looked at Andrew, and asked concerned, "Grandpa, how are you feeling these days? Is everything okay?"

Andrew wanted to say that he was feeling pretty good, but when he thought that there were only the two of them in the study, he considered that there was no need to tell any unnecessary lies. Jackson was his beloved grandson, and it was meaningless to hide the truth from him any longer.

Andrew suddenly shook his head, and after he let out a long sigh, said, "Oh, Jackson, I'm old, and it's in nature's law for every old man's life to eventually come to an end."

After he heard his Grandpa's dolorous words, Jackson walked towards him and squatted down beside him. As he held his hand into his, he said, "Grandpa, don't say that! You're very healthy, and you can still live for a long time; I don't want you to leave us!"

Andrew didn't speak, and instead patted Jackson's shoulder gently. He then said to him in a tender voice, "Jackson, now you're all grown up and have your own family. I am old and someday I will have to face my end."

After he said that, Andrew paused for a moment, and then continued, "If I leave you one day, you must promise me that you will protect Cherry and Joe and our entire family. In this world, nothing is more important than family!"

Then, Andrew turned his head aside to look outside the window. He felt very sad.

Jackson was grieved also. After he kept silent for a while, he started to speak to him in a low voice, "Grandpa, if I hadn't been so wilful all those years, our Chu Family would have been just another common military family in the residential compound, and you wouldn't have to bear so much pressure on you shoulders. Many things wouldn't have happened, and I wouldn't have been so worried nowadays. Oh, how I wish that I lived an ordinary life with Cherry, and just take good care of you and Joe!"
