Ice and Fire novel Chapter 289

Standing in front of the bedroom, Cherry's mind was filled with Jackson's resentful look from earlier. He hated her very much. He didn't love her, and he even hated her, but what about Grandpa Andrew, how could he had fallen on the ground unconscious? Was it because he had heard the argument between Jackson and her? Or because he had heard the name "Mond"?

Cherry was even more confused in her heart, but she knew that this wasn't the right time to think about that. 'Grandpa Andrew fainted. Did Jackson take him to the hospital? Will he be okay? Nothing bad will happen to him, right?' she wondered.

Cherry didn't dare to think about it anymore, because Andrew had treated her very well in the past days. How could she stay at home and act as nothing had ever even happened?

Cherry immediately ran into the bedroom, grabbed a coat, and then strode downstairs.

Lily was standing in the doorway anxiously, unaware of what to do next.

When she saw that Lily was standing in the door, Cherry quickly told to her, "Lily, you stay at home and wait for Bill to bring Joe back from school. Just cook for Joe as usual and don't tell him anything about what happened to Grandpa Andrew. Okay?"

"Okay, okay, " immediately replied Lily, with her hands trembling. "Will Mr. Andrew be alright?" she asked.

"I'll now go to the hospital and check on him. Don't worry about that, just take good care of Joe here at home, " said Cherry, and then got out of the house.

"I know, but Mrs. Cherry, please drive carefully, " said Lily with concern, as she watched Cherry drive away from the house.

Cherry drove to the nearby hospital, and in front of the emergency ward, she saw both Jackson and the Butler standing there. She then walked up to them.

Jackson knew that Cherry had arrived, but he didn't look at her for one moment. He just sat on the bench, with his head lowered and buried in his hands.

The Butler nodded to greet Cherry when he saw her walking to them.

Cherry asked the Butler, "How's Grandpa Andrew?"

"We don't know, the doctors are still inside with him. They haven't come out yet, " answered the Butler, as he looked at the door of the emergency room from time to time.

Cherry then didn't say anything else; she quietly stood beside the door, and paid no attention to Jackson at all. Her face was still burning, and how could she forget his slap and what he had said to her earlier in the bedroom?

Suddenly, the door of the emergency room opened, and a doctor came out of it.

Jackson then instantly stood up and walked towards the doctor.

The doctor looked at Jackson, and as he respectfully nodded to him, said, "Mr. Jackson, Mr. Andrew is okay now, he passed out because of an emotional stimuli. He's on a drip now, but soon he'll be moved to the general ward, and then you can see him. I have to tell you that it will take some time for Mr. Andrew to wake up."

After he heard what the doctor said, Jackson also believed that it wasn't anything too serious. He knew that his Grandpa's physical?condition couldn't be that bad.

"Okay, I understand, " said Jackson in a low voice. He wasn't arrogant anymore, and it even seemed that he had turned into a completely different person.

Cherry and the Butler were also standing nearby, but didn't say a word.

After he glanced at them, the doctor eventually focused all of his attention on Jackson. He then politely said to him, "Well then, Mr. Jackson, I will get back to work now, I have other patients waiting for me. Please call me if you need any other help."

Jackson fell into silence and waved the doctor away.

Inside the family residence, Selina and Derek dressed in their clothes, which had been specially prepared for the party. They decided to go and check on Jackson and Cherry how they were and go to the party together with them.

To their surprise, they noticed that everything was quiet when they arrived at Jackson's house.

After they walked into the living room of the big house, Derek and Selina looked around but found that there was no one on the first floor.

At that moment, Lily happened to walk downstairs from the second floor. Noticing that Derek and Selina were in the living room, she politely greeted them, "Hello, Mr. Derek, Miss Selina!"

"Where are my brother and sister? Why can't we find them anywhere? We're going to a party tonight, " said Selina.

Lily then walked closer to Derek and Selina. After she thought for a while, she decided to tell them what had happened earlier, because the Chu Family and the Lu Family were very close to each other. She thought that it would be okay to let Derek and Selina know about the unfortunate event.

"Mr. Andrew fainted today, so both Mr. Jackson and Mrs. Cherry have gone to the hospital, " said Lily.

"What?" said Derek, astonished. He immediately thought about it, and asked, "Why hasn't Jackson told me that already?"

"He might have not had time to tell you about it. I also don't know what happened at the hospital, " said Lily, also very worried.

"Who's at the hospital now?" asked Selina calmly, while thinking how to deal with the problem best. The party was soon to start, and she had expected that this kind of accident would happen.

"Both Mr. Jackson and Mrs. Cherry have gone to the hospital, and so did the Butler, " replied Lily.

An idea then suddenly occurred into Selina's mind; she said to the maid, "Lily, bring my brother and my sister's clothes for the party to me."

With these words, Selina turned her eyes to Derek, and said, "Brother, call the hotel next to the party and order a room first; I'll go back and grab my cosmetic bag now. After Lily brings you the clothes, take them back to your car and wait for me there, we'll go to the hospital first."

"Okay, no problem, " said Derek.

Selina immediately got out of the Chu house and ran back to her own. After she grabbed the cosmetics bag from the table, she turned around and went back to Derek's car.

While he was standing in the living room, Derek saw Lily come downstairs with several big bags in hands, which contained clothes and shoes. He immediately took the bags from her and went outside to the car with them.
