“What do you mean she’s in heaven? She’s not even dead yet. She’s not dead, do you hear me?!” Jason abruptly got up and immediately beat Terrence to the ground.
His five fingers grasped Terrence’s neck. His stance was as if he was about to kill someone.
‘Is Young master Reed… trying to kill me?!’
A thought flashed through Terrence’s mind, and deep in his heart, he was feeling utterly regretful. He should have known that currently, Young master Reed was not in his right mind and could not tolerate any more surprising news.
He should not have said anything about Grace being in heaven earlier. ‘By saying that, I was basically saying that Grace is dead. It’d be surprising if Young master Reed could take it.
At that moment, he wanted to say something to make up for it but his neck was being grasped so tightly that he was unable to say a word.
Terrence thought he would be the most wronged person in this world if he ended up being choked to death like this.
At that moment, Young master Reed’s strength became surprisingly powerful. Terrence… was unable to free himself from Young master Reed’s grip.
At that instant, a baby’s cry was suddenly heard.
Jason’s body stiffened. ‘Who… Who’s crying there… His stiffened fingers loosened up. He turned around to look behind only to see that the butler was carrying a baby with a helpless expression. He was standing at the door of the room.
“This baby…” Jason looked at the crying baby with a blank look.
“This baby… was left at the security guardhouse. From the surveillance footage, the person who left this kid looks a lot like Secretary Wang,” said the butler. Then, he could not help but add, “This kid… looks like you, Young Master, when you were younger!”
The butler had known Jason since he was born.
He could still recall the time when Young Master was still a baby. Back then, his grandfather had been carrying him and they were at the entrance of Reed Residence.
At that time, his father was always hoping that Old master Reed would accept his wife for the sake of his son. However, to his surprise, Old master Reed was firm with his standing and did not want Jason as his grandson. The old master even discarded his biological son as well.
At that time, Old master Reed had left a comment, “You may bring your kid back home, but as for that woman, she can forget about entering the Reed family!”
Hence, Young master Reed’s father brought him away from there.
The butler glanced at the baby in his arms and it was like he
2/4 was looking at Young master Reed from that year.
Jason straightened his body, and his lifeless eyes suddenly widened. It was as if he had witnessed something that he found unbelievable. “The baby looks like me… when I was younger?”
His hoarse voice was shaky when he spoke.
“Yes, very alike,” said the butler.
Jason’s body trembled as he staggered to the butler. As for
Terrence, he was panting to take in deep breaths. He was able to live through the crisis.
The baby in the butler’s arms kept crying. The baby’s little body was wrapped in a blanket, and its skin was pinkish.
‘Is it possible? Is it possible that this is my child?
‘But… Grace is pregnant with triplets, why is there only one here? And what about Grace? Where is Grace, then?!’
At that moment, Terrence’s phone suddenly rang. After Terrence picked up the call, his expression changed for the worse. He quickly said to Jason, “Young master Reed, it’s a call from Secretary Wang. He says he has something to tell you.”
Jason’s expression changed as he quickly said, “Ask him to spit it out!”
Terrence immediately pressed the speaker button and Secretary Wang’s voice was heard. “Young master Reed, you must’ve seen the baby by now, right? This is your child. The child has been in the incubator for more than a month. The baby doesn’t have any illness and is considered healthy.”
‘It’s really… my child!’ Jason’s eyes reddened as he rushed to Terrence. He grabbed the phone and shouted at Secretary Wang who was on the other end of the call, “What about Grace? Where’s Grace?”
At this moment, it was only Grace whom he cared most about!
“Do you wish to meet Grace?” Secretary Wang said, “Alright then, I’ll send you an address. Come over.”
When Secretary Wang sent the address, Jason dashed out of the room with Terrence trailing from behind.
The butler just stood on the same spot, absent-minded. He glanced at the baby in his arms who was still crying. ‘This child… is really Young master Reed’s child!
‘But Madam was pregnant with triplets. Why is there only this child here?’
Jason stepped on the gas pedal and drove at full throttle to the address given by Secretary Wang. At this point, Jason was not bothered if Secretary Wang had set up a trap for him. He just wanted to meet Grace as soon as possible. He was on the brink of going mad just to see her!
Terrence and the other bodyguards could only drive their cars, following behind Jason’s car.
Along the journey, Terrence was praying deep in his heart. ‘It doesn’t matter if only one of the triplets managed to survive. What’s most important is that Grace is alive!’
However, when all of them arrived at the destination, they saw Secretary Wang standing there. In his hands were an urn.
Terrence felt his heart sink. ‘That urn… Does it mean… He dared not continue thinking about it. He could only turn his head away and look at Jason anxiously.
At that moment, it was as though Jason’s body was frozen. He did not move an inch and just stared at the urn in Secretary Wang’s hands. His eyes became red as though he was about to burn holes through that urn.
“Where’s… Grace?” No one knew how much time had pa**ed before Jason finally spoke.
“Isn’t she just right in front of you?” Secretary Wang replied.
However, it was like Jason did not hear that reply and asked once more, “Where’s Grace?!”
Secretary Wang suddenly let out a chuckle. “Young master Reed, don’t tell me you were expecting a pregnant woman who fell into the ocean from the cliff to have survived? You should consider yourself lucky for having one child survive.”
His reply sounded very logical, yet it made Jason want to pounce right on Secretary Wang. He had just endured a tremendous shock.
2/4 Secretary Wang placed the urn in his hands in front of him. “Young master Reed, if you don’t mind having Grace’s ashes scatter all over the floor, then feel free to punch me.”
Jason withheld his punch.
Then, his body started trembling. He snatched the urn, hugging it in his arms tightly.
‘How could it be ashes?!’
That year, when he held his father’s ashes, he had thought it was the most suffering he had ever gone through in his life.
However, right now, his hands were holding… Grace’s ashes. ‘It turns out that there are more terrible things in life!’
‘Grace, my Grace! How could there only be her ashes left?! Her voice and smile are still vividly flashing in my mind!
‘I can still her hear talking to me!
‘I love you, Jay!
