Chapter 361 Entrust (1/2)
Holding the phone in her hand, Ashley took a deep breath and put it near her ear. ”Grandpa Bruce, I'm Ashley. How are you doing recently?”
”Same as before. Being old, my time is about to come.” The familiar voice of Bruce came through.
Ashley was very respectful to this old man. ”Don't worry. You are so strong. If you take good care of yourself, you will definitely recover.”
”It's the common sense of being old, sick and dead. I've lived for so long, and I've already seen through it.” Bruce sounded generously, ”Let's drop it. Miss Ashley, are you busy with your work recently? If you are not busy, you can come to stay in the countryside for two days. I always feel that we are congenial to each other. Before leaving, I want to talk to her. ”
Jasper was in the countryside. Ashley wanted to refuse, but she didn't have the heart to refuse the old man's request when he was dying.
”Miss Ashley, isn't inconvenient for you to go back and forth? Jasper is in a daze in the countryside every day. How about I ask him to pick you up?”

”Okay.”
It would take four hours from the downtown to the mountain area if the road condition was good. After knowing it, Henry contacted Ashley early to inform her of the departure time. At seven o'clock in the morning of the second day, Henry arrived at Ashley's house. After having breakfast prepared by Betty, the two of them drove to the mountain.
It was dark outside.
”It seems that it's going to snow,” Henry said while driving.
Ashley looked out of the window at the sky. Because of the dark clouds, the light between heaven and earth was a few degrees dark, and she had a feeling that it would be bright at dawn.
”You're going to see Mr. Jasper soon. Why are you in a bad mood?” Henry turned his head to look at the woman beside him. In his memory, Ashley was very talkative. At least, in front of him, they could always have a good chat. Now the woman in the passenger seat next to him was different from the person in his memory.
Ashley turned around and looked at the front of the car. ”Henry, let me ask you a question.”
”What question?”
”You have been with Jasper for so long. You must know a lot of his secrets, right?”
The alarm rang in his heart. ”Yes, I know. But if
