Ice and Fire novel Chapter 373

Mond watched Andrew lying on the ground in front of him and decided not to help him. He asked himself, 'He fell down in front of me; does that mean that I've at last defeated him? Or is he just apologizing to me for all of the things that he did in the past?'

At that moment, Cherry had also come downstairs. She saw Andrew lying on the ground at the door, and then glanced at Mond, who was quietly standing beside Andrew with his eyes focused on him.

Cherry was immediately shocked at the sight of that scene. She then quickly ran to Andrew and loudly shouted, "Grandpa! Grandpa!"

She squatted down beside Andrew and shook his shoulders with her hands, but no matter how hard she tried to wake him up, he still couldn't snap out of it.

Cherry was more anxious than a cat on hot bricks. She then looked up at Mond, and shouted, "What have you done?"

She then looked again at Andrew and tried again to wake him up.

"I've done nothing to him. Actually, I haven't even stepped inside your house, " calmly replied Mond. It was true that he hadn't entered the Chu Family's home, because he was still standing at the door.

At that same time, Jackson had already returned to the residential compound and had gotten out of his car. Before he arrived at the house, he caught sight of Mond standing in the door from a distance, and as he walked even closer, he also saw that Andrew was lying on the ground, and Cherry trying to hold him up.

He then immediately started to quicken his pace and rushed to them.

When he arrived at the door, he furiously pushed Mond aside, and squatted down beside Andrew. He then pulled him into his arms, shaking Cherry's hands away.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! What happened to you?" hastily asked Jackson, as he kept shaking Andrew's body, trying to wake him.

Cherry was both astonished and terrified when she saw that Jackson had come back. She slowly called his name out, but she didn't know how she would explain what had happened to him.

Jackson then stared at her with resentful eyes, and furiously asked, "I didn't punish you for meeting him without my permission, and now you even bring him in our home! Don't you know that it's overwhelming for Grandpa to even see him?"

Jackson's loud voice and stern tone almost scared Cherry to death. She had never seen Jackson so berserk, and she knew that he was in an incredible fit of rage now.

"Jackson, it's not what you think! Please, just listen to me!" explained Cherry, while clutching Jackson's arm with her hand.

But Jackson didn't want to hear a word out of her, and immediately shook her hand off of his. He shouted, "Don't touch me! Get out of here, now!"

Cherry couldn't steady herself because of his strong push, and she fell on the ground.

When Mond saw that, he also became angry, and said to Jackson, "Why do you have to blame her for it? Grandpa fainted because I irritated him some moments ago. It was because of me!"

"Mond!" shouted Jackson, as he stared at him with strong hatred burning bright in his eyes. "You're satisfied now, aren't you?"

Mond met with his eyes, but didn't say a word. He wasn't at all astonished of Jackson's fury, and he thought, 'After all, Andrew Chu spoiled him for so many years. It's no wonder that he becomes so worried like this when Andrew is in danger, but even so, I can't stand that he pushed Cherry away and let her go like that. Could it be that he bears a deeper love to his Grandpa than to his own wife?'

After some moments, he slowly replied, "I can't feel more satisfied."

But Jackson paid no attention to his answer and instead glared at Cherry, with his eyes still filled with hatred.

"If anything wrong happened to Grandpa, I won't let anyone of you go so easily! I won't!" forcefully announced Jackson. He told himself, 'I won't let go of anyone who dares to hurt Grandpa! Mond, I won't show you mercy any more!'

After that, he held Andrew up in his hands and rushed out with him.

When Cherry saw him leave, she stood up from the ground and quickly followed him.

"Jackson! Jackson!" shouted Cherry, as she quickly went after him.

Mond then suddenly stepped forward and caught her by the arm. He said, "Where are you going? He pushed you away and shouted at you! Do you still want to go with him?"

Cherry immediately shook his hand off of her, and heavily slapped him across the face. She then furiously said, "Of course I do! He's my husband, my love forever! I won't leave him for the rest of my life!"

After that, she paid no attention to Mond's sad face and instead continued to run in Jackson's direction.

As Mond watched her running away, a tear slowly started to trickle down on his cheek. He had thought that he would feel happy when Andrew was in danger, but instead only felt grieved.

He said in his heart, 'After all, you're the most important person in this world for me, Grandpa!'

Cherry was driving her car with one hand on the wheel and used her phone to call the hospital with the other. She closely followed Jackson's car which was driving at full speed, and because Jackson's rudeness towards her earlier had already terrified her, she was afraid that he would blame her even more severely afterwards. She wondered, 'What will I do if Jackson doesn't forgive me?'

She prayed in her heart that Andrew would be fine, and thought, 'Dear God, please bless Grandpa! If Grandpa is fine, Jackson won't be angry with me and won't blame me anymore for what happened. I can't leave him! I can't live without him! If he agrees to forgive me and doesn't ask me to leave him, I'll always stay at home from now on and take good care of Grandpa!'
