Chapter 65 When Is The Funeral (2/2)

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

e was too feeble to resist him, so when she saw that he was holding her hand, she did nothing but to silently look at him.

When Jackson saw that Cherry opened her eyes, he happily asked, ”Baby, are you awake?”

But she just stared at him, and said nothing.

When he heard that no reply came from her, Jackson continued, ”You've been sleeping for two days now. Are you hungry? Do you want to have some porridge? I'll get some for you.”

After he said this, Jackson got up from the side of the bed and wanted to go and bring her the food.

But Cherry caught hold of his hand.

When Jackson saw that Cherry gripped his hand and didn't want him to leave, he stayed next to her as long as she wanted him to. He crouched again, put her hair behind her ears, and fondly asked, ”What's the matter? Aren't you hungry?”

Cherry opened her mouth, and hoarsely said, ”Emily...”

Cherry didn't continue, because she knew that Jackson would certainly help her deal with the matter, but if he wouldn't, then she would hate him forever.

Jackson touched her head, and hastily comforted her, ”Baby, baby, don't think too much about it. I'm here, and I'll handle her funeral. Actually, Derek is already busy with this. Please, don't worry, okay?”

Cherry ignored his comforting words, and continued, ”When is the funeral?”

Jackson heard her question, and felt sorry for her pain. He answered her question, ”Tomorrow.”

Cherry then turned her head and didn't look at Jackson anymore, and heavy tears started to fall down on her cheeks.

He knew her sadness, but when he saw the tears flowing from her eyes, Jackson didn't know what to say to her anymore. At that moment, it seemed that all the words in the world were meaningless to her pain and suffering.
