Ice and Fire novel Chapter 385

When he saw that Rosa was being led away by Sally, Mond turned his focus onto Jackson and then sat opposite to him.

"Well, how come you have time to play here?" teased Mond, with his eyes fixed on Jackson.

"Aren't you playing here too?" asked Jackson in reply, even though he didn't feel like answering him.

Mond suddenly burst into laughter when he heard him, and said, "Haha! The Mr. Jackson that I heard of from the others should've been a cautious toff, not at all like this. How come you're out on the tiles?"

Mond paused for a moment, and then continued to ask, "Are you in a bad mood?"

When Jackson heard Mond's words, he suddenly recalled of his Grandpa's accident. Jackson firmly believed that it had to be related to Mond, and if he guessed right, then his Grandpa had died because his heart couldn't bear the pain of seeing Mond again.

"It's not beeen long since my Grandpa passed away; do you think that I could feel in the best of spirits?" replied Jackson with his eyes fixed on Mond, eager to see his reaction to the question.

Mond's face instantly changed the moment he heard about Jackson's words. That accident had already turned into a nightmare for him these days. He nearly dreamed himself standing in front of the Chu Family's house every night. If he had had a better attitude, and hadn't rushed to that place so?impulsively, maybe Jackson's Grandfather would have still been...

When he noticed that Mond's face had started to turn pale, Jackson could tell that he actually cared about that accident too.

Jackson and Mond then just stared at each other in silence.

Some time later, Mond broke the silence. "I apologize for what happened to your Grandpa, " said Mond.

"Do you think it's any use to apologize to me now?" Jackson refused to accept Mond's apology, because he didn't need any of it. Jackson didn't hate Mond in his heart, because he knew that the Chu Family had also had a direct influence on Mond. He couldn't have become the person that he was and led a life full of hate without the Chu Family's deeds. Although he wanted to hate him, he would eventually wash out that idea from his mind when he thought of his Grandpa and his parents who had been apart from him for so many years.

Mond lowered his head, speechless with regret. He didn't dare for a moment to meet with Jackson's eyes.

"Isn't this what you wanted all along? Our Family has now been finally ruined. Are you satisfied with this?" said Jackson. Cherry then also came into his mind, and his heart started to ache even more painful than it already was.

Mond raised his head, and said to Jackson, "Yes, but this is just a small part of the final result that I want to achieve. The next step will target you."

When he said those words, Mond had lost all of the strength that he had remaining in his heart. He also suffered and grieved Andrew's death, but he would never forget the tough times and trials and tribulations that he had gone through in the past years.
