Chapter 288 Rush To The Hospital (Part Two)

"Only if you tell me what's your relationship with Mond! And how does Grandpa also know him?" said

Cherry, more determined than ever to find out what had actually happened. She had to know the truth,

although she didn't know the exact reason why she was so anxious to do that. There was an impulse in

her heart that encouraged her, and she believed that all of her questions would be answered if Jackson

just told her everything.

"Don't force me to get mad at you, " said Jackson, trying to suppress his indignation. It appeared that

he didn't know how to answer Cherry's question. He wasn't intending to answer her questions now and

neither in the future, because what Cherry want to know was a taboo over his whole entire life.

Cherry felt a bit helpless because of Jackson's reaction. He was avoiding her question and was soon

going to blow mad at her!

The argument between them stopped.

Staring at Cherry, who was standing in front of him, Jackson finally decided to control himself and keep

his wits. He then softly said to Cherry, "Baby, trust me, I concealed all of these things from you for your

own good. You don't have to know everything, and living your present life okay is enough for you."

"My present life?" Cherry then looked up at Jackson and bared her soul to him, "Do you think my

present life is okay?" I know nothing about you, Sally, my sister and this other man called Mond! I know

nothing at all about you! I'm living in fear, and I'm afraid that some accident will happen to our son! I'm

afraid that if something bad happens to him, I won't know how to deal with it because I don't know

anything!"

Jackson quietly looked at Cherry without speaking a word. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

After she paused for a while, Cherry continued to say, "Jackson, I really have a feeling that I've just

been like an idiot. I've been at your side for so much time already as your wife, but you are always

reluctant to tell me anything about your past. Is it so precious and secret that you can only keep it

buried deep down inside your heart? Or it is because you don't trust me at all? You and your Grandpa

have never treated me in your hearts as an actual member of your Family, have you?"

"Yes, I don't trust you, and I never treated you as a member of the Chu Family!" replied Jackson firmly,

with his eyes fixed on Cherry.

Cherry could hardly believe her ears, and thought, 'What did he say? Did these words actually come

out of Jackson's mouth?'

Jackson continued, "Cherry, I should have told you about this long ago. Don't attach too much

importance to yourself, because it's still impossible for you to know everything just because you're my

wife. I have never allowed you to get into my world."

Jackson acted against his true will and said all of these lies to Cherry. He had only two choices: lying to

her, or telling her the truth about Mond, but he would have never chosen the latter, because the truth

about Mond wasn't only a great shame for the Chu Family, but also a hard knot in his heart. He decided

to hide the truth from Cherry, because he couldn't let her suffer as he did.

"Hehe, " laughed Cherry all of a sudden. She shook off Jackson's hand and moved backwards two

paces. She focused her eyes on Jackson, and then said, "People always say that misfortunes test a

couple's sincerity. Now we can see how sincere we are with each other, right?"

Jackson didn't reply, and instead looked sideways and no longer gazed at Cherry. It had been very

hard for him to decide to lie to her and speak against his will, and he was afraid that he couldn't help

embracing her and telling everything to her when he saw her touching expression on her face.

"I can see that Mond is very important to you. You can even speak your mind because of him, " said

Cherry, while she decided to ignore Jackson's words. Then, Cherry's look in her eyes got serious

again, and as she looked at Jackson, said, "I'm interested in this person called Mond, and actually want

to know him very much. Even though you won't tell me who he is now, I think that I'll meet him, one way

or another. When I do, I'll ask him what's your relationship, and how he also knows Grandpa Andrew

face to face."

"Cherry, if you dare to go to him, I will break your legs! I give you my word!" cried Jackson furiously.

The woman had to be mad if she wanted to look for Mond herself. If she met Mond, then he then would

tell her everything, and Mond was more than willing to do that, because he hated Jackson very much.

"Then I guess I have to go and find him!" said Cherry, without any sort of hesitation.

The moment Cherry finished her words, Jackson raised his hand up in the air and slapped her hard

across the face. Cherry suddenly lost her balance and stumbled towards the wall beside her.

When he saw that Cherry had covered half of her face with her hand, a burst of pain blew in his heart.

He didn't know what he had just done, his mind had gone blank. What he did was emotional and

impetuous. He didn't think about anything, and just directly slapped her.

Jackson was very affected, and regretted every moment of what he had done. He wanted to walk close

to Cherry and console her, but before he had the chance to say anything to her, he heard a voice

shouting from the corridor.

"Mr. Andrew! Mr. Andrew! Wake up!" cried the Butler from the corridor.

Jackson then immediately realized that something was wrong outside, and he immediately got out of

the bedroom.

Jackson almost lost his mind when he saw that his Grandpa was lying unconsciously on the floor in the

corridor. He walked quickly to him and crouched down, and as he slowly held his Grandpa's head into

his hands, he cried, "Grandpa, Grandpa!"

Panicked, the Butler explained to Jackson, "I saw Mr. Andrew lying on the floor when I came upstairs."

It then suddenly occurred to Jackson that his Grandpa must have heard his conversation with Cherry.

He must have heard Mond's name, or otherwise he wouldn't have fainted.

Jackson caught sight of Cherry, who was standing in the door of their bedroom. If it hadn't been for her,

his Grandpa wouldn't have fainted.

Jackson glared at Cherry, with his eyes filled with hatred. One of his most precious people was his

Grandpa, the one he respected most, and the other one was his favorite woman. Both of them were

indispensable to him, but now his Grandpa was old, and suffered from poor health problems. How

could Jackson withstand something like this happening to him?

"Jackson, drive your Grandpa to the hospital quickly!" said the Butler next to Jackson.

The Butler's words made Jackson recover from his deep thoughts. He immediately lifted Andrew and

went downstairs.

The Butler then looked at Cherry and didn't know what to say. He turned around and went downstairs in

Jackson's trail.
