At Jackson's house, Lily and Bill were in high spirits waiting at the door for Cherry's return. When Lily saw Cherry coming up the path, she rushed out of the house towards her.
She was relieved seeing Cherry looking better today, and her smile broadened the closer she got. "Ma'am, it's so great to see you home so soon!" Lily gushed happily.
Cherry nodded giving both Lily and Bill a smile as she took Lily's hand, she said kindly,"I'm okay, don't fret over me."
Even though Cherry tried to assuage her fears, Lily was a little worried about her, but she had to nod her head and pretend to wipe any apprehension away so Cherry wouldn't know.
Lily and Cherry walked into the house arm in arm with Jackson and Joe following behind silently.
"Ma'am, please rest on the sofa for a little while and I will prepare something for you to eat," suggested Lily as they got into the house.
"Okay, but don't make that much," Cherry replied.
As soon as Cherry was sitting on the couch, Jackson sat down next to her and took her hand in his.
"Babe, let Lily prepare enough food for you, even if you don't end up eating all of it, just in case, okay?" said Jackson, his eyes filled with love and concern as he silently pleaded with her.
"I don't want to waste any food though Jackson," Cherry explained.
"That doesn't matter right now," Jackson retorted.
Joe brought a cup of water, offering it to Cherry,"Mommy, please have some water."
Joe's sensible actions thrilled Cherry. She took the cup from Joe and said,"To my surprise, my son has learned how to take good care of others."
"Mommy, you always take such good care of Daddy and me, it's our turn to thank you by serving you well. Rely on us in the future." Joe's voice was full of innocent pride,
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.
"You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.
"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.
so dark right now, and she was feeling too afraid to be alone.
"Don't be afraid, Babe, I am not going anywhere. I am here and will always protect you," Jackson comforted her. He could feel Cherry trembling in his arms, and he worried about her health. He hugged her to him, firmly, trying to give her his strength and warmth.
Cherry wrapped her arms around Jackson's waist, soaking in his warmth and enjoying the closeness. She felt secure that she wasn't alone.
Sitting in a corner of Jean's darkened room, Mond clutched a piece of paper in his hand. There were three sentences written on the paper.
I wish Cherry could forgive me for all the things I did.
I love Joe and always pray for his happiness.
I hope Mond will put down hatred and find his way back to love.
A tear slipped from Mond's eyes and rolled down his face as he stared straight ahead. 'One of Jean's hopes was for me to give up my revenge and live with love in my heart. Jean, I did! I gave up my revenge and Jackson and I are brothers again, but, where are you? Won't you come to make sure the relationship between Jackson and I stays harmonious? It's the only way your dream can come true!'
