Ch. 146..150: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 146-150
Chapter 146: Emily, I Don't Want to Compete with You
Passed Wendy's blood off as Emily's and had a paternity test...
Matriarch Jackson was stunned. The whole person became extremely stiff and was shocked.noveldrama
Who was this woman? Who was she on the phone with? Who was Matriarch Jackson?
Wasn't she the only Matriarch Jackson?
So, who was the person this woman called?
Before Matriarch Jackson could understand, the woman after the flower said again, "Hunter seems to like that Wendy very much, and often invites her to visit Jackson's house."
"I feel worried about Emily. So, I come here today. I haven't expected to see Wendy and Hunter together. I am so angry!"
"Isn't Wendy relying on her appearance which is like her dead mother? She dares to steal Emily's man. This bitch! I have to
take her a lesson sooner or later!"
Not knowing what the man at the other end of the phone said, the woman continued to curse, "I would have driven Wendy out of the house at the beginning if I knew it. How could I have kept her if it wasn't to hide Emily's identity?"
"I have raised her for so many years for nothing and let her take Emily's place. What I want is that one day, Emily will be admitted as Talia's daughter by Matriarch Jackson."
"Of course, I have already known that Wendy is Matriarch Jackson's granddaughter..."
After that, Matriarch Jackson couldn't hear any words.
Her heart was a little uncomfortable. Suddenly, her hands fell on the position of
the heart, and she was short of breath.
Oh my god! What did she do? The truth was like this!
How could they! How could they treat her granddaughter like this!
They even bullied Wendy into this way!
"Matriarch Jackson, Matriarch Jackson, what's the matter with you?" The maid was startled and cried out in a hurry, "Help, help! Matriarch Jackson is sick! Come on, help!"
...Matriarch Jackson was sick again and spent two days and two nights in the emergency room.
Two days later, she was transferred to the intensive care unit. It was said that she didn't want to see anyone, even Patriarch Jackson.
Later, Patriarch Jackson insisted to go in. No one knew what happened in the room. In short, three days later, Matriarch Jackson went back to the Jackson's house.
There were family doctors and nurses who took care of Matriarch Jackson in the Jackson family. As long as she didn't get sick, it would be better at home than in the hospital.
The key was that Matriarch Jackson had been in a bad mood and did not want to see anyone.
This time, she even did not meet Emily.
Five days had passed, and now it was the sixth day. Emily completely did not know the situation of Matriarch Jackson.
Hunter had gone to visit Matriarch Jackson twice. However, every time Matriarch Jackson faced him, she was about to speak, but saying nothing.
She seemed to have a lot of things to say. But in the end, she did not say anything.
People did not know how to comfort her with such a situation.
The doctor said that most patients had this kind of situation, because they knew themselves... their physical conditions were not very good.
So, Matriarch Jackson was worried that she would die soon. Then, she was desperate?
No one was willing to say such words. But as for Matriarch Jacksor's situation, everyone had been tacit.
They were afraid that Matriarch Jackson really wouldn't live long.
The doctor had revealed carefully in the past that he didn't sure whether Matriarch Jackson could survive this winter. Everyone in Jackson family was worried about this news.
Two days later, it was the weekend. Emily came to the Jackson's house early and wanted to visit Matriarch Jackson.
Unexpectedly, she met Wendy in the yard, who also came to visit Matriarch Jackson.
"Emily, are you also here?" Wendy seemed to be in a good mood today.
However, her dress let Emily inexplicably feel a bit strange.
It was beautiful for Wendy to wear retro dress.
However, she never liked this kind of skirt. What's more, she had no makeup at
all.
Without makeup, was this still Wendy?
Emily had never been kind to Wendy. She just glanced at her and went to the backyard.
The servant said that Matriarch Jackson was in the backyard. She wanted to see Matriarch Jackson.
As long as she could see with her own eyes that Matriarch Jackson was in stable condition, she would be at ease.
"Why are you walking in such a hurry? Do you think Matriarch Jackson would like to see you again?"
Wendy walked behind her, slowly and calmly.
"What do you mean?" Emily looked back at her. Although she didn't want to contact Wendy, she always felt that there was an insinuation in her words.
"Nothing. I just want to make a bet with you."
Wendy came to her and motioned her to go to the backyard with her.
"Do you think Matriarch Jackson would like to see you or me today?"
Emily frowned. What relationship could Wendy have with Matriarch Jackson?
In the last life, although Wendy had always wanted to please Matriarch Jackson, Matriarch Jackson had been indifferent to her all the time.
But today, why did she look so confident?
"I heard that Matriarch Jackson actually wanted me to be with Hunter. But not
knowing why, she changed her mind later."
Wendy's smile today was as elegant as a noble princess.
She looked at Emily without any hostility. Because she seemed to not despise her
as an enemy.
She was so superior and elegant, but always so hypocritical.
Emily ignored Wendy and went straight to the backyard.
Wendy also followed closely behind her with no intention of passing her.
Matriarch Jackson was behind the main house. This time, Patriarch Jackson was with her.
Last time Matriarch Jackson was ill and transferred from the emergency room to the intensive care unit, Patriarch Jackson had been with her.
But after all, he was the boss of the Jackson Group. He had been accompanying
Matriarch Jackson, so the affairs of the Jackson Group had naturally been delayed.
Now there was a rumor inside the Jackson family that Patriarch Jackson was arranging for a successor.
But Patriarch Jackson hadn't made a statement. So, everyone was still trying to perform well.
Although Hunter had always been favored by Patriarch Jackson, he had his own Century Group, and he seemed to have no intention of coming back to take over the Jackson Group.
As a result, the competition in the Jackson family was very fierce recently.
Now, it was critical to please Patriarch Jackson and Matriarch Jackson.
Seeing Patriarch Jackson pushing Matriarch Jackson for a walk not far from the front, Emily hesitated for a moment and then quickened her pace.
She knew that Patriarch Jackson didn't like her. But she came here to see
Matriarch Jackson today.
So, even if Patriarch Jackson didn't like her, she had to brace herself and go
there.
Unexpectedly, she just walked two steps while her arms were grabbed and she was pulled back by Wendy.
"What are you doing?" Emily was pulled and her feet were unsteady. She almost
fell down and could only catch Wendy subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, Wendy fell to the ground as Emily caught her.
"Oh." Wendy cried out in pain. She touched her ankle, and tears filled her eyes.
"Emily, I... I just want to see Matriarch Jackson. I really don't want to compete with
you."
Emily frowned. The next second, she knew what Wendy wanted to do.
Wasn't it too childish to frame others?
How dared she play tricks in Jackson family! Hunter was not here. Why was her purpose to do it?
Chapter 147: Fall into Disfavor So Soon
Wendy was sitting on the ground and frowned. Her face was full of pain.
It seemed that she couldn't even stand up.
She was always good at acting. Emily never denied it.
But now, she didn't need to pay attention to this woman.
Emily was about to leave while Wendy said pitifully, "Emily, I will remember what Mrs. Gale said to me last night."
Mrs. Gale? Which Mrs. Gale?
Emily looked at Wendy. The only Mrs. Gale she knew was Wendy's mother, Kate.
But, why did Wendy call her mother like this?
Wendy did not give her the opportunity to think, and immediately said, "I will try to keep away from Hunter and do not embarrass you."
"You keep away from Hunter?" It was such a big joke that Emily sneered, "Do you think I will believe it?"
"I... I will try to not think about him."
Wendy bowed her head. It looked like she wanted to cry.
Emily really didn't want to see her perform anymore. However, Wendy's action was really weird.
Wendy was clearly acting for others. Of course, she would not be the only audience!
Just as Emily thought of this, an anxious voice has sounded behind her, "Wendy, why are you sitting on the ground?"
looked at Wendy sitting on the ground, Matriarch Jackson felt heartache for no
reason.
"It's cold on the ground. Get up! Don't freeze!"
Although it was still October and the weather was not very cold, it was not good for a girl to sit on the ground.
It turned out that Wendy wanted to act for Matriarch Jackson. How could Matriarch Jackson and Patriarch Jackson not see through such a clumsy scheme?
But Emily did not expect that when she looked at Matriarch Jackson, Matriarch Jackson's eyes were complicated.
Matriarch Jackson just glanced at her, and then looked at Wendy anxiously, "Wendy, get up quickly."
Wendy tried to get up. But she just stood up a little bit and immediately fell back.
She let out a low voice which was full of pain.
"I'm sorry, Matriarch Jackson. I... My feet may..."
"What's wrong with your feet? Does it hurt?" Matriarch Jackson was so anxious that she wanted to go and help her up in person.
Patriarch Jackson's hand fell on her shoulder and gently pressed her back.
He lifted his chin, and the maid behind him immediately went over to help Wendy
up. Then, she helped Wendy sit down beside the flower bed.
The maid looked at Wendy's feet and turned to look at Matriarch Jackson and said, "Matriarch Jackson, her ankle is injured and swollen so much."
Emily's line of sight also fell on Wendy's ankle. She did not expect that it was really red and swollen!
But she was OK just now. Was it worth to hurt herself like this just in order to frame her?
"How come? Call the doctor quickly. Hurry up!"
Matriarch Jackson was so anxious that her eyes were red.
Although Patriarch Jackson didn't understand why Matriarch Jackson cared so much about the two sisters, he couldn't calm down when Matriarch Jackson was so anxious.
For fear that Matriarch Jackson would be ill again, Patriarch Jackson said, "Hurry to call the doctor."
Listening to his order, the maid ran quickly to the back room of the main house.
Matriarch Jackson lived in the back room. In order to take care of her, there was a medical room in the back room, and several doctors and nurses were usually there.
Soon, the doctors and nurses rushed over. Seeing that Matriarch Jackson cared about Wendy, they did not dare to be careless.
"This lady's ankle is sprained. It's probably due to an accidental fall."
The doctor took out the prepared ice and packed it with a special tool to cool her ankle.
Wendy frowned tightly, and her lower lip was bitten out with a pale color.
But she held back the pain and fought back the tears.
This girl was really strong and tolerant. Matriarch Jackson didn't know whether she had always been like this.
Could it be that she had learned patience from childhood so that she was so strong now?
She was in pain. But she just made a low sound cautiously. It was obvious that
she was suppressing the pain.
Matriarch Jackson was so sad that she couldn't hold back her tears.
How could her Wendy be so pitiful?
Finally, the doctor treated Wendy's ankle. Matriarch Jackson said in a hurry, "My room is not far away. Help her go in and have a rest."
Matriarch Jackson still had a lot of sad words to say to Wendy and she wanted to ask Wendy many questions.
Before, Matriarch Jackson had been hesitant and entangled. She could not be able to make up her mind.
She also couldn't get through to the private detective who she had entrusted before.
With her current physical condition, it was impossible for her to secretly go out to look for someone to investigate. Patriarch Jackson would not let her go out.
Matriarch Jackson didn't want Patriarch Jackson to know about it, for fear that he would embarrass her granddaughter.
All the evidence clearly suggested that Wendy was her granddaughter, and Emily was an impostor.
But Matriarch Jackson always did not want to admit it. After all, she had already identified Emily.
However, as long as she thought of what grievances Wendy had suffered, Matriarch Jackson was deeply distressed these days.
Today, seeing that Wendy was so pitiful to this point, she felt sadder.
"How could you be so careless?" Looking at Wendy's ankle which was still red and swollen, Matriarch Jackson was heartache.
Wendy subconsciously looked back at Emily, as if she was about to speak, but saying nothing.
But in the end, she just shook her head and looked at Matriarch Jackson and
said, 'I... I am careless. It is my fault."
This made Matriarch Jackson feel worse.
Wasn't it Emily who pushed her over just now?
This girl was really stupid. She didn't even say a word of grievance but just
wanted to make concessions to avoid trouble.
Did this happen often before in the Gale family?
Did she grow up in this environment? Her granddaughter was so pitiful!
At this time, Matriarch Jackson looked back at Emily and saw her freckles on her face, she suddenly disliked her.
Why didn't she think of that before? Talia was so beautiful. How could she have
an ugly daughter?
Talia's daughter should be as clean, beautiful, soft, and gentle as Wendy.
And, goodness.
Even if she was bullied, she was not willing to complain!
On the contrary, looking at Emily, her sister was so injured, but she was just
indifferent and stood by.
How could this girl be her granddaughter?
She was really blind before!
Matriarch Jackson hated Kate, Charles' wife. However, this matter was not
something that could be publicized. So, even if she hated Kate very much, she couldn't do anything to her.
What's more, she was so old that it was difficult for her to go out alone. What else
could she do?
"Wendy, go to my room and have a rest. You guys hold her well. Don't hurt her
feet again. Be careful"noveldrama
"OK. Matriarch Jackson, we will not hurt this lady's feet."
"After that, you need to call her Miss Wendy."
"I see. Miss Wendy, please walk slowly."
Emily looked at a group of them who were walking from the courtyard slowly to
the back room where Matriarch Jackson lived.
Looking at Matriarch Jackson who was pushed by Patriarch Jackson, Emily
suddenly felt sad and wanted to cry.
But what did she cry for?
She originally didn't know why Matriarch Jackson loved her. Now, Matriarch
Jackson loved others and didn't love her anymore. Why did she cry?
She just... her eyes were not very comfortable. Maybe sand blew in her eyes.
Emily lowered her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Before she could find an excuse not to be sad, a low and contemptuous voice sounded behind her back suddenly, "What happened? Do you fall into disfavor so
soon?"
Chapter 148: What Are You Doing
Emily was favored by Matriarch Jackson. Even when Matriarch Jackson was in the ward, she always wanted to see this ugly girl.
This thing had already been spread in the whole Jackson family.
No one knew why Matriarch Jackson liked Emily so much. Some people even suspected that Emily was Matriarch Jackson's relatives outside.
However, they just suspected it. After all, Emily had a name and a family. There was no doubt about her life experience.
Maybe it was just because Emily was Hunter's fiancée. Matriarch Jackson liked Hunter so much, so, she even liked Emily.
However, what Matriarch Jackson always missed in her illness was not Hunter, but his fiancée.
This point was still incomprehensible.
Unexpectedly, the thing just passed a few days. Now, it was Wendy who was favored by Matriarch Jackson.
The pendulum had swung back and Manson, who had witnessed the whole process, was in a mixed mood.
Happy? It seemed that there was nothing to be happy about.noveldrama
After secretly wiping the tears in the corners of her eyes, Emily looked up at Manson.
To be honest, after the incident of Heaven-like Island, Emily was still a little scared when she saw Manson.
If Hunter hadn't arrived in time that night, she would have been killed by Manson.
This man was a disaster to her.
"Funny?" Emily said lightly. She seemed to think nothing of Manson's ridicule.
"Isn't it funny?" Manson stared at her face.
He hated this face. But he often thought of this ugly face during this time.
Manson suspected that he was ill, even seriously ill.
Emily glanced at him again and turned to go.
Manson frowned. He was angry, because the girl was always so rude to him.
He ran after her and said coldly, "Do you really think Hunter is kind to you?"
Emily didn't speak and went on.
She didn't want to be alone with this man at all. She had no sense of security.
Behind her, Manson's face sank and he said with unhappily, "Hunter took a very beautiful girl from the auction of Heaven-like Island. Do you still not know this thing?"
Emily was stunned slightly and stopped to look back at him.
Why was she panicking? How would she think that it was dangerous to be with him?
Manson didn't know that she was that girl! She was an ugly freckled girl now. How could Manson be dangerous to her?
Manson was not willing to touch such an ugly girl as her. In fact, she was very safe.
Suddenly, Emily really wanted to laugh.
This guy always wanted to embarrass her. But he didn't know that she was the girl who was taken by Hunter. Wasn't it ridiculous?
"Manson, what do you want to say?"
"Hunter has other woman behind your back outside. When your whereabouts was uncertain and nobody knew whether you were dead or living, your husband took a beautiful girl home and had sex with her."
Manson had been staring at her face, trying to see a little strange expression from her face.
At least, she should be shocked, or sad, or unbelievable.
However, why was she still so calm and indifferent?
"Are you really not sad? When you suffered outside, your husband was with other
women! Emily, are you a dead man? How can you be so calm?”
"If lam a dead man, are you talking to a dead man, Manson?"
Emily wanted to laugh.
Originally, she was in a bad mood and was really sad. But after talking to this man, she felt better.
In fact, she couldn't see through Manson. Why did Manson, the second son of the Jackson family, always embarrass her? What was the point?
"Well, I'm really sad that Hunter has a mistress outside. But I'm just a weak woman. I can't stop him, right?"
So, Manson shouldn't talk to her so much. It was meaningless.
If it was true, she really had no ability to stop it as she said.
It is his business that he had how many mistresses outside for a man like Hunter.
Could it be that Manson thought that she had the ability to stop all this?
The reason Emily said those words was originally to get rid of Manson early and leave here.
However, after saying this, Emily suddenly was in a heavy heart.
It was really a sad thing that the status of husband and wife was different.
Hunter was so powerful, as well as rich and handsome. Emily could not stop him
at all if he wanted to find a mistress.
It turned out that the distance between her and Hunter was so big.
If she married such an excellent man, she had to live a life of fear and anxiety.
This kind of life was not what she wanted.
Therefore, she and Hunter were doomed to have no good ending.
Manson caught the loss of Emily's eyes.
He originally thought that he would be happy as long as the ugly woman was sad.
But now, seeing Emily's melancholy, he was not happy at all.
He even took a little bit pity on her?
No! How could he pity this woman? Unless he took the wrong medicine.
Emily turned to leave, and Manson looked at her back.
Shouldn't he rush up and make a few more sarcastic remarks?
Hunter stole his angel. Then, he would let Hunter's wife feel sorry.
But after catching up with her, what Manson said was not sarcasm, but, "How did you get back?"
He couldn't receive any news at that time. He didn't know where Hunter found this
woman.
Emily said casually, "I crawled back."
It sounded a little pitiful.
The night she went back was the night Hunter stole his angel girl, right?
Manson felt a bit oppressive, "Did Hunter go to save you?"
Emily sneered, "Don't you say he was having fun with other girls at that time?
How could he save me?"
"He..." Manson clenched his fist.
Thinking of that Emily was pitiful to escape from the sea, but Hunter was having
fun with other women. At this moment, he suddenly hated his big brother.
"Hey." Seeing that Emily ignored him, Manson said.
The girl at the front had no reaction.
She looked at the sky in the distance and thought a lot.
Was Matriarch Jackson disgusted when she glanced at her just now? She didn't misunderstand, right?
Matriarch Jackson, who loved her most in her last life, hated her now because of
Wendy.
It turned out that people's hearts could really be dulled by false appearances. A
small trick could take away the love of Matriarch Jackson to her. Was it so easy?
Emily felt sad.
Suddenly, her foot kicked something. She was not stable and suddenly fell forward.
"Be careful!" The man behind her caught up with her and pulled her into his arms.
Two bodies inexplicably entangled together.
Emily looked up at Manson. Manson's mood was a little complicated. Why did he
save this woman?
But he saved her. He not only did not push away the ugly woman he hated, but
after embracing her, he subconsciously tightened his arms and held her in his
arms.
Emily was frightened and put her hands on his chest, trying to push him away.
Suddenly, a low voice sounded at the front, "What are you doing?"
Chapter 149: Underestimates the Woman's Influence on Him
The man stood at the end of the path.
At first glance, his dark face was the same with usual.
But when she looked again, Emily could feel that the man was in a bad mood.
Emily was scared and tried to push Manson away.
Unexpectedly, Manson didn't let her go but held her more tightly.
"Do you want to die?" Emily was still pushing him hard and almost wanted to bite him! "Let go."
"I'm just afraid you'll fall down. Am I wrong to save you?" Manson finally released her before Hunter was angry.
As soon as she was free, Emily stepped back.
But she did not know that she, on the contrary, seemed guilty in taking this action.
"Hunter, Emily almost fell down just now. I just helped her. There is no other meaning. Don't get me wrong."
Manson put his hands into his trouser pocket and looked at Hunter, who was coming towards them, with a smile.
This smile was clearly provocative!
But Matriarch Jackson was in the back room not far from here. She might come out at any time.
Matriarch Jackson was in poor health and couldn't stand any trouble.
If she saw that the brothers were at odds, would it make so angry to faint?
Hunter didn't dare to take such a risk. Who didn't know that he respected Matriarch Jackson most in the Jackson family?
Hunter went to Emily and his face was cold, "Come with me to see grandmother.'
"No." Emily avoided subconsciously.
She had seen Matriarch Jackson. Now, Matriarch Jackson was with Wendy.
Just now, Matriarch Jackson looked at her with disgust.
In fact, her heart really hurt.
Maybe, she was so timid and was really escaping!
But she never wanted to see such eyes again.
As long as Matriarch Jackson was well, she would be satisfied. At this time, at
least, she did not want to be with them when Wendy was there.
"You don't go?" Hunter narrowed his eyes. At present, he was angry!
Matriarch Jackson just discharged from the hospital not long ago. Now, she was still in poor health.
When everyone was anxious to accompany her, Emily even said "No!"
Even if she had no feelings for his grandmother, at least, shouldn't she also show kindness as his fiancée?
Did she hate him and his family so much that she didn't even want to pretend?
"Come with me!" Hunter suddenly grabbed her wrist and was about to pull her to the back room.
He was rarely so tough on people. Hunter was unwilling to force others to do anything they did not want.
But this time, everyone could see that he was very angry!
Emily shook her hand fiercely. But she was unable to shake off his hand and her wrist hurt.
She said unhappily, "Hunter, it is my own business whether to visit grandma or not. What does it have to do with you? Let go!"
Hunter didn't speak. His face was ghastly pale and he just pulled her.
Emily usually listened to him. But today, she seemed to refuse to budge.
Along the way, she struggled fiercely, "Hunter, I do not want to go! Let go! You have no right to force me to do anything!"
He refused to release her. He usually would not do like this. Today, the two people all seem to refuse to budge.
"Hunter, she doesn't want to go. Won't it just make Grandma angry if she comes like this?"
Vincent and Hunter appeared together. But Hunter's aura was too strong. When he appeared, others would be ignored.
Vincent's words stopped Hunter. Suddenly, he released the woman who resisted him.
After that, he strode to the direction of the back room with a grim and frightening figure.
Vincent lightly glanced at Emily who was standing in the same place and followed.
Without seeing his eyes, Emily also knew that it was full of disgust.
Today, it seemed that all people of the Jackson family hated her.
Perhaps, she should not have appeared in this place.
Emily held her wrist and frowned.
The wrist hurt. Hunter's strength was big when he held her wrist.
"What's good for you to resist him?" Manson came over and said lightly.
Emily didn't want to talk to him. Just now, if he didn't hold her tightly on purpose, would Hunter be so angry like that?
Manson knew what she was thinking, but he didn't care.
Shrugging his shoulders, he laughed scornfully, "Hunter can have a mistress outside. But you and other men cannot be close a little?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Emily didn't want to talk about Hunter now.
But there was no need to discredit him.
That night, the woman who was taken back by Hunter was her.
But Manson didn't know it. He just thought that Hunter was ungrateful. When
Emily was in danger, Hunter was still having fun with other women.
But it was all her business. Who did Manson hold up for?
Clearly, he just wanted to make trouble!
"My kindness is considered to be an ill intention!" Manson snorted coldly.
He did not intend to talk to her anymore and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, he
suddenly swept her wrist as he turned.
"Are you hurt?" He frowned and looked at her hand.
Her wrist was red and swollen.
It was so swollen! Was this woman dead? When Hunter pinched her hand Justnoveldrama
now, why did not she cry out pain?
Why was this little girl so stubborn?
As long as she cried out pain, could Hunter still embarrass her?
Emily ignored Manson and walked quickly to the front yard.
Manson was ignored and became angry.
If it wasn't that her wrist was red and swollen, who would care for her?
Good-heartedness was not recompensed! This woman was really ungrateful!
When Hunter went to the back room, his face was always ghastly pale.
He stopped in the backyard.
When the wind blew his short hair, he looked like Sura as rumors outside.
But after a few seconds, he calmed down.
After a few seconds of silence, Hunter was as usual again.
He was indifferent, calm, and expressionless.
Vincent had been standing not far away. He just waited for Hunter and did not communicate with him.
This was the Hunter, who was always calm whatever happened, Vincent knew.
As for Emily... It was an accident. But Vincent seemed to underestimate the influence of this woman on Hunter.
When Hunter walked in the room, Matriarch Jackson was talking to Wendy.
Patriarch Jackson had gone to the study after he sent Matriarch Jackson back. Because he had to deal with Jackson Group's affairs.
The two women were chatting happily in the room. Seeing Hunter coming in,
Wendy blushed and immediately greeted,
"Hunter."
Hunter nodded and went straight to Matriarch Jackson.
"How are you today, grandma?"
Although Wendy, who was sitting on one side, was completely ignored, she was
suddenly shocked.
Hunter talked... so gentle!
Although his voice was only a little softer than usual, it still made people
fascinated.
If Hunter talked to her in such a gentle voice...
Although Hunter did not even look at her, Wendy was attracted at this moment.
She also thought of what Emily said to her. Emily had said that Hunter's sexual
ability was very strong and made her happy.
At the thought of Hunter's ability in sex, Wendy breathed quickly and her heart
beat faster. She was dizzy.
Chapter 150: The Only Blood Relative
As soon as Matriarch Jackson looked at Wendy's face, she was completely clear.
However, she had let Hunter and Emily get engaged. Now, Wendy liked Hunter. What could she do?
Matriarch Jackson suddenly regretted. She certainly hoped that Wendy could be happy.
However, she didn't want to break lovers up. It was too cruel.
"lam fine. Wendy has been with me for a long time, and I am very happy today."
Matriarch Jackson took Wendy's hands and was really happy.
Hunter's eyes finally fell on Wendy.
Wendy wanted to see him, but she was a little shy. She could only look down and hold her fingers with a shy face.
Vincent also came over, "Grandma, how are you?"
"With Wendy, I am fine."
Hunter and Vincent were all the younger generation that Matriarch Jackson liked.
She was happy to see them. "Vincent, come to sit down. You are not in good health. Don't always stand."
"I'm fine. I've had a long recuperate abroad. Now, I'm in good health."
However, Vincent still pulled a chair and sat down beside Matriarch Jackson.
Seeing that Matriarch Jackson's face was still a little pale, the brothers felt unwell.
They thought of the doctor's words that it was unknown whether Matriarch Jackson could survive this winter.
"That's good." Matriarch Jackson saw that Vincent looked better than before and was no longer as sick and weak as before. She felt relieved.
Now Wendy was the one Matriarch Jackson worried most.
This poor little girl had suffered so much in the Gale family and still did not know their relationship.
Wendy was so strong. But the stronger Wendy was, the more Matriarch Jackson loved her.
"Hunter." Matriarch Jackson suddenly called.
"Well?" Hunter also sat on the chair and looked at her.
"Hunter, I want to tell you something. Come with me."
Hunter immediately pushed her wheelchair, "Grandma, where do you want to go?"
"Let's go for a walk in the yard." Matriarch Jackson looked back at Wendy and was a little worried.
She looked at Vincent, "Vincent, Wendy's foot was hurt. Please take care of her."
Vincent just nodded slightly and did not speak.
Hunter pushed Matriarch Jackson to the courtyard, and then stopped under the shade of the trees.
Walking to her side, Hunter gently asked, "Grandma, what do you want to tell me?"
Matriarch Jackson had spoken to him seriously. In fact, Hunter was uneasy.
It seemed as if Matriarch Jackson was about to say last words.
Sure enough, Matriarch Jackson took his hands and her eyes turned red.
"I know that I may not live long."
"Don't talk nonsense. Grandma is in good health and can live a long life." Hunter immediately interrupted her.
But Matriarch Jackson shook her head. She knew her own situation.
It was impossible to live a long life. It was hard to say whether she could live through this year.
Even if they and the doctor all hid from her and didn't tell her the real condition, she knew clearly about her own body.
"Hunter, I hope you can help me with something."
"Just say it."
Matriarch Jackson looked at him. Her grandson was really excellent, powerful and
warm.
Although there was a rumor outside that Hunter was cold and heartless, Matriarch Jackson knew that once it was the person he cared about, he would protect her well.
However, it was really hard to be the person he cared about.
"I want you to protect a girl for me."
Matriarch Jackson knew that her request was too much. It would even be a lifelong burden for Hunter.
But she had no choice. What about her granddaughter if she died one day?
"Who?" Hunter looked a little indifferent.
"The girl who just sat with me, Wendy."
His face became ugly for a moment.
This was an absolute burden to him!
The word of 'protect' was too serious! He was very resistant and even disgusted
at the thought.
"Hunter, I know that you always don't like to be too close to girls. My request is really too much for you."
But what could she do? No one could understand her worries. Except Hunter, no
one could protect her granddaughter.
"Why does grandma like Wendy so much?"
This girl had no relationship with his grandmother in Hunter's impression.
Just as he didn't understand why grandma was so good to Emily.
However, Hunter found that he was biased.
When grandma was good to Emily, even if he had doubts, he could readily accept
it.
But now, grandma was good to Wendy and even let him be good to Wendy. It was
not a question of doubt, but a burden.
Matriarch Jackson looked at him and stopped.
She wanted to say many words, but she dared not say.
“If grandma can't give me a reasonable reason, I think it's hard for me to agree it."
Matriarch Jackson's hands grasped the wheelchair handle more tightly. Even the joints of her thin fingers were white.
Hunter looked down at her trembling fingers.
Matriarch Jackson knew that he pitied her, and that if she insisted on not saying it,
he would not ask.
But the end that Hunter was willing to do and was forced to do would be very different for Wendy.
"She is my... the only blood relative in this world."
Hunter did not speak. The air suddenly became quiet.
In the early autumn of October, leaves fell one after another. A dead leaf fell on
Matriarch Jackson's hair. A piece of yellow in the white hair hurt Hunter's eyes.
Matriarch Jackson once had a blood relative.
It was her son, the fourth son of the Jackson family, Finley.
It happened many years ago. A fire had killed Finley and made Matriarch Jackson
sick from then on.
How old was Hunter at that time?
He was young and also in the fire.
He survived because of Finley.
Finley saved Hunter but was buried in the fire.
From then on, Matriarch Jackson was infertile and could not have her own
children.
Although she was the Matriarch Jackson of the Jackson family, there was no real blood relationship between her and so many children and grandchildren.
Hunter had always cared for her. Because he knew that if it was not for saving
him, Finley would not die and Matriarch Jackson would have a close relative.
Now, Matriarch Jackson said that she still has a blood relative. Whoever this blood relative was, Hunter had to protect her.noveldrama
It was he owed her.
After a long time, Matriarch Jackson looked at Hunter and said lightly, "Hunter, I
know that what I asked you is really too much."
"I also know that as long as I say it, you will do it and protect Wendy for me."
She still held the handle tightly. She was a little excited but more helpless.
"But I have only one granddaughter. I don't dare to publicize. I'm afraid someone will do harm to her. I don't dare to bring her back. I'm afraid I'll scare her."
"The only thing I can pray for is that when I'm dead, at least there's someone else
who can help me protect her."
