Chapter 1997 Extra 4
Peace returned to Oceanic Estate once the kids had left. Now that everything was settled, the couple, who had been busy, decided to take a good rest. They thought about staying in Avenport for a few days to keep Rufus company.
However, on the seventeenth, Mark showed up to inform them that Jonathan had passed away. Sasha and Sebastian stayed in their room for a long, long time. It was simply too sudden.
There was no warning at all. Jonathan, the powerful warrior who had survived hundreds of battles, had left the world just like that. Worse still, it happened after everyone had left Oceanic Estate.
Sebastian broke down a little after receiving the news. He had just mourned his father’s passing before the new year, and now his grandfather was gone, too.
He locked himself in Jonathan’s room and stayed there all afternoon, guarding over the latter’s body. Not once had he ever left.
“Will he be okay?”
Mark was rather worried after he saw how Sebastian reacted.
Surprisingly, Sasha was much calmer. She knew that the day would come. After all, that was the reason they had held her son’s wedding in advance. They wanted to fulfill Jonathan’s last wish and make him happy.
That was why Sasha accepted his death rather quickly. While Sebastian locked himself in the room, she calmly planned the funeral and informed their friends and family who had just attended Ian’s wedding.
Oceanic Estate was once again bustling with activity that evening. However, instead of beautiful wedding decorations, the house was filled with condolence flowers.
“He left so suddenly. I can’t believe he passed away just days after his great-grandson’s wedding.” “Yeah. He didn’t get to see the birth of his great-great-grandchild.”
Everyone who came for the funeral was sad to see how the cheery ambiance from just two weeks ago had turned into something so sorrowful.
However, someone else spoke up soon after.
“That is not true. He’s blessed. He’s over ninety years old. I heard that he had been unwell and had lived in a temple for some time. Now that he got to see his great-grandson get married and even passed away after the festive season, I’d say that this is as blessed as a person can get.”
“I guess you’re right.” The revelation hit everyone after they heard those words.
He’s right. Old Mr. Jadeson passed away in his nineties. That means he had lived longer than most people out there. On top of that, God had been merciful to him. He got to see everyone he wanted to see one last time, and he left in a way such that he wouldn’t burden his children or grandchildren. Only a handful of people could have such a blessing.
Suddenly, everyone became jealous of Jonathan.
