Chapter 377 Chaos In The Living Room (Part One) (1/2)

It was already 3 o'clock in the morning, but the light was still on in the living room. Jackson took a look at the woman leaning on his arms. It was Cherry, his wife, he felt a little upset by what he saw. His wife looked so tired and sleepy kneeling on the ground. Cherry could barely keep her eyes open. She kept dozing off, that if it were not for Jackson's support, she would probably be on the floor now. Jackson still cared for her. He adjusted his position and faced her, holding her into his arms so that she would be a little bit comfortable.

Suddenly, Jackson heard the sound of someone's feet going down the stairs. He turned his head and looked up and saw his son Joe walking down the staircase with his hands holding a blanket.

Joe walked towards his parents and stopped in front of his Daddy. When he took a look at his Mommy sleeping in his Daddy's arms, he felt sad.

”Why are you here?” asked Jackson, in a low voice so as not to disturb Cherry from her sleep.

”Daddy, ” said Joe, ”I am afraid that you and Mommy will be cold, so I brought you my blanket.”

He then handed over his blanket to Jackson.

”Thank you, son. Now be a good boy and go back upstairs and sleep.” said Jackson, in a whisper.

Joe knew that his father was not in good mood so and he didn't try to argue with his orders. The boy nodded his head in obediently.

Joe took another look at his sleeping Mommy and asked Jackson, ”Daddy, how about Mommy?”

”She has me here. You just go back to sleep.” said Jackson. He felt tired physically and his emotion exhausted from the grief of losing Andrew. What made matters more complicated was his feeling towards Cheery and Joe, who were always able to touch his heart.

”Okay, ” said Joe, looking straight at him. He was confident that his Daddy would look after his Mommy, so, he slowly went back upstairs to his room.

Seeing Joe climbing up the stairs, Jackson lowered his head and took a look at Cherry's face. He felt ache in his heart and he knew this pain was not something that medicines can numb or heal. He took a deep breath and thought, 'How do I face my wife? Where do I start?'
