He seemed to be telling Old Master Reed of his determination to love Grace.
Old Master Reed glared at his only grandson. After a while, he slowly closed his eyes as if he was tired. With his dry and hoarse throat, he murmured, “Men of the Reed family… never… end well when they love a woman too much. You… might not end well… if you… continue being like this…”
Old Master Reed’s voice grew weaker and weaker until his mouth stopped making any sound. The heartbeat line on the monitor nearby became a straight line.
Grace felt a pang in her heart. She knew Old Master Reed was
gone.
A life ended right in front of her eyes, and it terrified her. An elderly who was Jay’s family no longer existed in this world. It all seemed a little unreal.
Jason held Grace’s hand tightly. He held it tighter and tighter until a cry of surprise sounded in his ears. He suddenly came to his senses and quickly let go.
“Does it hurt?” He took her hand nervously and saw that it was faintly red as a result of him holding it too tight.

She said, “I’m alright. Your grandfather…”
“Yeah, he’s gone,” he murmured.
Although his expression was still indifferent and did not seem to resemble the grieving faces of ordinary people who had just lost a loved one, she knew that he was sad.
Old Master Reed was his family, after all. He was even the only one who had accompanied him for so many years after his father’s death.
Jason turned around and half-closed his eyes. He looked at Old Master Reed who was lying on the hospital bed quietly as if he was tired and sleeping.
Grace quietly accompanied Jason. This time, she held his hand firmly.
Old Master Reed’s funeral was set for three days later, and the body was first placed in an ice coffin. It was set up in the Reed family’s mourning hall.
However, unlike normal practices, Jason did not receive outsiders
to come to the hall to mourn.
For him, the mourning hall was a place where no outsiders were
allowed.

This mourning hall was his father’s resting place, and now, his grandfather’s.
In the past two days, Jason had pushed all his work away and spent almost 24 hours in the mourning hall.
Grace also went to the mourning hall several times, and each time, she only saw Jason standing by the ice coffin. He was dressed in white.
She had also advised him several times to get some rest, and he always answered her gently, “I know. I’ll take care of my health. Don’t worry.”
However, how could she be at ease? She no longer felt as safe as before when she was lying in bed alone at night.
It was as if unconsciously, she had grown used to having him sleep next to her and seeing him as soon as she opened her eyes.
“Is Jay still at the mourning hall?” Grace asked the butler.
“Yes, Young Master is still at the mourning hall with Old Master Reed,” the butler replied.
Grace then asked the butler to prepare some desserts. She took them and went over to the mourning hall.
