Chapter 861 The Last Family Reunions
Jayden’s eyes were flooded with some tears.
He had never shown his reluctance towards his son, but he was now reluctant to leave them.
How lovely they were but he couldn’t even watch them grow up.
“Grandpa today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Grandmother and Coral had made a table of dishes. My
teacher told me that we should eat moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival since it is a festival for
family reunions. Grandpa, do you want to eat some moon cakes?” Amanda talked beside Jayden’s ear.
Jayden asked, “What kind of fillings for the moon cakes?”
“According to the details on the box, there are salted egg yolk fillings, five kernels’ fillings and ham
fillings…”
Amanda rattled off a bunch of words and finally said, “Which one do you want to eat, grandpa?”
Jayden was in trance, and he just realized that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival that day.
It was a nice day.
How could one not eat moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival?
He then replied to Amanda that he wanted five kernels filling cakes.
Dolores said she would go and get it, but Amanda pulled her back and stopped her. She wanted to do it
by herself, and she ran out with her little legs. After a while, she brought in a piece of moon cakes and
she leaned over the bed and said, “The piece is too big for you to bite so I have broken it up.”
Amanda broke the moon cakes in half, revealing the filling inside which consist of walnuts, almonds,
sesame seeds and melon seeds…
She broke a small piece and passed it to her grandfather’s mouth, she said, “Grandpa, try it…”
Jayden opened his mouth to bite the moon cakes fed by his granddaughter.
“Is it delicious?” Amanda asked with a smile, her eyebrows arched when she smiled. Jayden nodded
and said, “Yummy.”
Andrew fed him some water as he was afraid that he would be thirsty after eating the moon cakes.
Jayden couldn’t drink anymore after two sips.
His face became more and more pale and waxy, and his eyes were dull and muddy.
Joshua, who was sleeping in the room, woke up and cried incessantly. Jessica couldn’t coax him to
stop crying so she brought him to Dolores. Once Dolores hugged him, Joshua stopped crying
immediately but there were still tears in his eyes.
Jayden waved towards Joshua and tried to look at him, but he realized that he had no energy to speak
anymore.
Dolores realized Jayden’s intention and she immediately turned Joshua towards him. Joshua stared at
Jayden with his big round eyes even though he might not see him clearly.
Everyone outside the room came in and gathered around the bed to get a last look at him.
Jayden looked into Joshua’s eyes with a smile and he slowly closed his eyes.
“Grandpa!” Amanda grabbed Jayden, “Please don’t sleep and talk to me more…”
Andrew’s tears dropped immediately, he understood better than his sister that his grandfather might
have left them permanently. He would not be able to talk with them anymore; to send him back after
school; to teach them homework…
“Grandpa…”
After hearing the sounds which came from the room, Dr. Jason came in to examine Jayden. After
examining, he looked up at the time and shook his head at Matthew.
His action had symbolized that Jayden had passed away.
With his hands behind his back, Matthew nodded to Dr. Jason, indicating that he knew.
“Let’s see what time it is, it’s quarter past twelve now.” He passed away after spending his festival of
family reunions.
Dr. Jason sighed, “My condolences.”
The hands behind Matthew's back were clenched together, he was trying to restrain his emotions
strongly, "Boyce, can you help me to send Dr. Jason back?"
Boyce walked over and Dr. Jason said, “No need to send me back, I’ll leave by myself. You might need
someone here to help you.”
There would be a lot of work for the funeral.
“Then I’ll bring you to the entrance,” Boyce said.
Dr. Jason nodded.
Amanda, who was lying on the edge of the bed, couldn’t wake Jayden up and she tilted her head to ask
Dolores, “Mummy, why isn’t Grandpa talking to me anymore? When will he wake up from his sleep?”
“Grandpa won’t wake up anymore,” Andrew choked out.
“You’re lying!” Amanda couldn’t believe what Andrew said. Her eyes were red and there were tears in
her eyes, “Andrew, you’re such a bastard! Why are you saying that grandpa won’t wake up?”
Her tears dropped right after she said the sentence.
Dolores passed Joshua to Jessica. Jessica wiped her face before she carried him.
She also wiped her daughter’s tears.
Amanda hugged Dolores’s waist and buried her face in her arms, “Mummy, does grandpa really leave
us?”
Dolores was so upset that she couldn’t speak for a long time.
It took a moment to calm down before she said to her daughter, “Grandpa has gone to another world…”
The room was filled with sadness.
There were sobbing sounds around the room as the moment of separation was always sad.
That was unstoppable.
Dolores wiped away her tears and beckoned toward Jasmine, “Help me to bring these two children to
their rooms.”
Everyone was still grieving for Jayden’s death, someone had to be there to control the situation.
Jasmine pursed her lips and walked over, picking Amanda up but Amanda was reluctant to leave, and
she grabbed the corners of the blanket, “I don’t want to leave grandpa…”
She was crying sadly.
Andrew pulled the blanket and whimpered, “I’m not going to leave, I want to stay with grandpa. I won’t
be able to see him afterwards. I’ll never see him again…”
Dolores’s tears, which she had originally forced back, fell out all of a sudden.
The two children crying made everyone feel more heartbreaking.
Kevin collapsed on the side of the bed, Dolores immediately held him up, “Mr. Forbis.”
Boyce returned to the room after sending Dr. Jason. When he saw Dolores struggling to hold Kevin up,
he came over and held him up.
“Take him back to his room for some rest,” Dolores said in a low voice.
Boyce nodded. As he didn’t see Matthew in the room, he asked in a whisper, “Where is Matthew?” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Dolores didn’t pay attention just now. She just realized that he wasn’t in the room.
“You need to look for him. He must be having a hard time at this moment.” Boyce told Dolores.
She understood it. She nodded and helped Boyce to send Kevin back to his room, “You look after him
for me.”
She was not at ease as Kevin was so old and still needed to face this heartbreaking situation.
Boyce talked to her to rest assured as he would look after him and let her go to look for Matthew first.
Dolores walked out of the house and saw the light on in the study room, so she walked over there.
When she reached the door, she gently pushed it open.
