As Newton's grandson, Jasper did not take after him much. All he took after was
Javier's cold- heartedness. Jasper thought he was getting better, but he finally
realized that he could never measure up to the depth of Newton's affection for
Doris.
"1 will never hurt you again," he said in a trembling voice after a frustrating
silence.
Alyssa placed a finger on his lips and chuckled. "Yeah. You won't."
After the couple enjoyed a hearty dinner with Newton, Ben sent someone to get
the fireworks.
Seated in the wheelchair, Newton smiled as the couple lit the fireworks. Jasper
and Alyssa waved the sparklers around like two happy kids on Christmas Day.
"Look at the wide smile on Mr. Jasper's face," remarked Ben, who thoughtfully
draped a blanket on Newton's lap. "I still remember the time he first started living
with you.
"His height was around your waist level. He was dressed in oversized clothes,
looking tanned, underweight, and tiny. Now, he's a man with his own
responsibilities.”
Ben continued saying, "He never smiled in that way before he met Ms. Alyssa.
He carried a heavy burden on his shoulders and hatred in his heart. He was
never as happy as he is now. Fortunately, Ms. Alyssa saved him from the
darkness. It's all in the past now."
"Alice is not just a gift of God to me. She's a gift to my grandson." Newton looked
on gently, feeling the warmth from the scene in front of him.
Jasper and Alyssa made a great couple, which reminded him of his late wife, who
had passed away many years back.
"Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;
1 will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands of life shall run..."
Newton recited a poem softly, but he snapped back to reality when his phone
rang. His eyes wavered in shock when he checked the caller ID.
Ben cast a puzzled look at the screen before gasping. "It's... Mr. Justin?"
"Ben, wheel me indoors."
The duo entered the living room, where Newton answered the video call with
bated breath.
Justin's face appeared on the screen, looking pallid. He smiled amicably at
Newton. "Grandpa, it's been a while. How are you?"

Newton looked a little awkward. "I'm
good, Justin. How about you? How
are you doing in Mosgravia? You look
quite weak. Have you been taking
your medications on time and going
for routine checkups? Let me and
your dad know if you're unwell. We
can visit you." The content is on

"Grandpa, don't worry. I'm getting
better by the day. As your grandson, I
feel sorry that I can't keep you and
Dad company. I'll try to recover and
get back to you and Dad's side."
While speaking, Justin started
coughing in pain until he teared up.

Newton hurriedly remarked, "Look!
You're still quite ill. Don't force
yourself. Just focus on getting better
abroad. Your dad and I understand
your situation. We won't blame you."

During the conversation, they heard Jasper and Alyssa's laughter. The young
couple seemed to be making their way over.
Newton's chest tightened in anxiety. "Justin, Grandpa is busy now. I'll call you
back two days later."
"Grandpa, what are you fearing?" Justin's eyes were deep and unreadable. His
tone sounded melancholic. "I'm your grandson, just like Jasper."
"Don't overthink it. I..."
"Do you really not want to see my face? Do you hate me that much?"
