At night, Jackson lay quietly in his bed alone, unable to fall asleep. All that he could think of was Cherry's frightened face, and her crying and trembling, and the more he thought about it, the more distressed he was.
He looked at the ceiling, and thought the whole thing over and over. He gradually realized that he had misunderstood Cherry, and that she could not have possibly been involved with John. It all must have been John's fault, because he had gotten drunk and had gone to their house.
Jackson then furiously got up, quite sure that he had misunderstood Cherry. Because they had been together for such a long time, he had got to know her very well, and he was sure that she would have never betrayed him. He had just been driven crazy for the moment, and he should have never said those things to Cherry.
He hated himself for hurting her.
As he stared out the window at the gathering darkness outside, Jackson became more and more worried about Cherry. It was already pretty late. Where had she gone? There was nowhere in the city where she could go to. She neither went to the Shen family, nor the military residential compound. 'Where could she be?' wondered Jackson.
Early in the morning, Jackson called Derek, and told him that he would not accompany him to the barracks today. Derek didn't ask more. He had sensed Jackson's anxiety. He knew that it must have something to do with Cherry, or otherwise Jackson wouldn't have been in such a hurry.
Then, Jackson drove to the Ye's house.
Lucia had just go
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
grabbed John's pajama collar.
"John!" furiously yelled Jackson.
John awoke immediately because of Jackson's cry, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Jackson's burning eyes staring at him.
At that moment, Jean also walked into the room, and saw them looking at each other.
Surprised, John said, "Uncle, why are you in my house?"
"Oh, so you're still playing the fool, ah?" snapped Jackson.
As he stared into Jackson's eyes, John then suddenly realized that he was there because of what had happened the other day at his house.
John tried to explain himself, "Uncle, yesterday..." but he was interrupted by Jackson before he could even finish his sentence.
"What the hell happened yesterday?" yelled Jackson. He had to learn the truth and prove Cherry's innocence.
John then realized that Jackson wanted to know what had happened yesterday.
Jean stood behind Jackson, and was also curious to know what had happened. 'Do the wounds on John's face have anything to do with Jackson?' she wondered.
