Ice and Fire novel Chapter 395

Jackson went on saying, "We still have a few obstacles to get rid of, so I can give us the life I want."

"What are they?" Cherry asked out of curiosity.

"Well, I still haven't found the token, and then, " Jackson paused sighing and shaking his head before saying, "there's Mond and Stephen. If they have their way, I will never live a peaceful life."

"Wait? Even though Grandpa has passed away, they'll just keep coming after you?" Cherry was surprised.

"Of course. Their hatred wasn't for Grandpa, it is for the whole Chu Family, and it won't end." replied Jackson, "Anyway, right now, it is more important to find that token, because how things will go next depends on it."

Cherry thought about it, and asked, "Jackson, what does the token look like? Did you look in Grandpa's room for it?"

Jackson shook his head, "I searched everywhere I could think, but I haven't found it. Grandpa told me it bears special lettering, but I never saw it myself, so, I don't actually know what it looks like. In fact, unless my guess is wrong, there are two tokens."

"But where would they be, if not in Grandpa's room?" Cherry wondered aloud. She pondered the question, but couldn't figure it out. She didn't know much about Grandpa, which made it almost impossible for her to work it out.

"I don't know either, but I'll keep searching the house until I find it, " replied Jackson.

He stared at her with a serious look on his face as he added, "Babe, I'm telling you this so you understand Grandpa better. Promise me, that if you run into anything that might be remotely related to this, you will guard yourself against any danger, okay?"

"Okay, I understand, and I will." There was a determined look on Cherry's face as she nodded and promised Jackson, so he knew she took him seriously.

"Aside from you and I, only Derek knows the tokens haven't been found, and you can't let anyone else know. Otherwise, I'm afraid you and Joe will be in danger. I don't know if or when Mond and Stephen will notice they aren't found." warned Jackson. He had considered as many variables of what could happen before eventually deciding to tell Cherry everything. He knew she would understand the severity of the situation.

"Don't worry, Jackson, I know what I need to do." replied Cherry, a tenuous smile on her face.

Jackson hugged her to him tightly and didn't say more on the topic. They always considered each other's feelings and knew the other's thoughts well.

The next morning, when Jackson and Cherry they got up, they went downstairs, and found Lily had their breakfast already prepared.

Lily walked up and greeted them respectfully, "Good morning Mr. Jackson, and Mrs. Cherry. Breakfast is all ready for you, whenever you want."

"Okay, thank you." replied Jackson, and the two of them went to have breakfast in the dining room.

They sat together enjoying their breakfast when Cherry's phone suddenly rang. She quickly glanced at it and saw she had a new message.

"Who is it?" asked Jackson casually as he ate.

Cherry picked up her phone, "Let me have a look... Oh, it was Selina. She said she was sending Joe to school and for us to not worry." She put the phone back on the table and continued eating her breakfast.

"Well, it's good you can always count on Selina." Jackson said relieved.
