Chapter 181 See You At The Same Place (Part Two)

"Jackson, why don't you look deep inside yourself for your answers instead of asking them from me?

Everything was your fault! Why do you need to blame others?" cried Cherry.

"It wasn't my fault, it wasn't!" yelled Jackson. He then looked into Cherry's eyes, and said, "Cherry, you

chose to leave me, and you chose to keep my son away from me! You were happy, weren't you?"

Cherry's couldn't help but cry when the past five years instantly flashed in her mind. She looked at

Jackson, and while she shook her head, she said, "Do you really think I was happy? When I gave birth

to Joe nobody was there for me! I refused my family's help and I brought up Joe alone. Do you really

think that I could have possibly been happy?"

"Then why did you leave me? Wasn't I capable of providing anything that you ever wanted?" Jackson

almost shouted with his face twisted with anger. He stared at Cherry, and thought that she deserved

every bit of her sufferings.

Cherry didn't lose her train of thought. She calmed herself down, and carefully said, "Jackson, you still

don't understand, not even now... I wanted a family!"

After she paused for a moment, Cherry continued, "I couldn't bear a third person getting between us! I

just wanted a simple life, but then, what did you do? You got tangled up with Sally, and after she killed

Emily, the only friend that I ever had, and walked away unpunished...did you think that I could also

afford to leave my son to you?"

Jackson's heart was punched badly by her words. He knew very well how Cherry had been when Emily

had passed away.

Cherry turned her head away from him, and didn't want to look at him anymore.

After some time, she broke the silence between them, and said, "You should go now, I don't want to

see you anymore."

"Are you just going to let me go like this? Do you really think that I can leave like this?" asked Jackson

intensely.

Although she had a bad feeling about it, Cherry suddenly turned around to face Jackson again, and

with fear in her voice, asked, "What do you want?"

"You tell me! Do you really think that I'll still allow you to keep my son away from me any longer?"

asked Jackson with fury echoing in his voice.

Cherry shivered, and her uneasiness was intensifying with each passing moment. After she grasped

Jackson's hands, she fiercely started to shake her head, and said in a tearful tone, "Jackson, please

don't! Joe is all I've got, you can't take him away from me! You can't!"

Jackson, regardless of Cherry's pleas, stared into her eyes and stonily replied, "He's my son too."

Cherry tightened her grip on Jackson's hand, and continued to beg, "Please, don't take Joe away from

me! Please, you can't!"

She knew very well that Jackson got everything he wanted, either by himself or by others.

Jackson felt heartsick when he saw Cherry begging him like that, but the thought of his son inside the

ward got him enraged again.

Suddenly, Jackson let Cherry go, and turned around to leave.

Seeing that Jackson was about to leave, Cherry again caught his hand and hastily said, "Jackson, I'm

begging you, please, please don't take him away from me! Please!"

Jackson didn't care for a moment about Cherry's pleas, and instead just shook off her hand off of his

sleeve.

Cherry fell to the ground and watched Jackson disappear with her mind blinded by fear. What was he

going to do, she wondered. How was he going to treat her from now on? And how was he going to treat

her son? She had absolutely no idea about any of that. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Cherry got herself back together and returned to the ward. After she talked with Joe for a while, she

went to the doctor and told him that she was going to bring her son back every two days to change his

bandage, she then left with him back home.

Joe's grandparents had been worried sick about him. When Cherry and Joe had arrived back home,

Elsa immediately took Joe in her arms for she always wanted to protect her grandson with everything

that she had.

When he saw that his Grandpa and Grandma had worried about him so much, little Joe manly said,

"Grandpa, Grandma, really, I'm okay. Joe's a big boy now, and this little scratch doesn't mean a thing to

me. Please, don't worry!"

"Oh, my precious little boy, come over here to Grandma, but be careful not to accidentally hurt yourself

again!" said Elsa, still worried.

Cherry's heart stirred with pain when she saw how worried Elsa was about Joe. She couldn't even

imagine how much her family would suffer if Joe would ever be taken away from them. All of them

loved him very much, and she couldn't allow Jackson to take him away from them; she had to protect

her son at all costs, no matter what.

Joe had completely healed after one week, and Cherry had been looking after her son for the whole

time. She hadn't gone to work anymore, and she was willing to do anything for her son.

On Monday morning, Cherry drove Joe to school, and after she saw him safely walking into the school,

she drove to JS Group.

After she arrived there and sat at her desk, her phone suddenly rang.

Cherry looked at it and saw that it was Jackson! After she got herself together, she answered him.

"Hi, " answered Cherry.

"Where are you?" asked Jackson coldly.

"At the JS Group."

"Come to the hotel in half an hour; I'll see you at the same place!" briefly said Jackson.

Before Cherry could reply, he had already ended their call.

After she put down her phone, she thought, 'Are we going to talk about our son?'

After she thought it over for some time, Cherry decided that she should go.
