Chapter 142 Sense of Crisis
The corners of her mouth twitched. She didn't want to talk to him anymore.
She suddenly thought of something and looked up at him.
"What... What did you just say to me?"
If she remembered correctly, Jack said he would take her to see his grandfather.
She wondered, 'Does Mr. Albert they mentioned when she went to their residence refer to the his grandfather?
Not his father?'
Jack nodded and pursed his lips. Looking at her beautiful eyes, he was slightly absent-minded.
His mind seemed to go back to the scene many years ago.
"Grandpa, where are my dad and mom?"
The boy was about seven or eight years old, and his fair skin was shining in the sun.
Her small white face was inlaid with two black grape like eyes. Although he was little, he had a precocious temperament. His big eyes had wisdom that was inconsistent with his peers, and his eyes were calm. The old man, who was called grandpa by him, turned around and looked at the boy behind him, gently stroking his soft hair.
"They have gone."
The white ring stung his eyes. He didn't expect the tragedy of losing his son and daughter-in-law.
"Grandpa, it's okay. We will protect you from now on."
Behind him, the other two little boys came and rubbed the old man's gnarled hands.
They were still young and didn't know what family affection was. Perhaps it was because they didn't live with their parents, so they didn't know too much about their parents.
He only knew that his parents could only go home once a year, because they had to run the company of the Nan clan, leaving his brother and sister to his grandfather. However, when they came back, only two heavy urn boxes were left.
His grandpa's hair was all white overnight, shedding tears while looking at the black and white photo.
"The funeral was very simple. Only the Nan family and my mother's family attended it, so outsiders didn't know it."
Jack was holding a cup of coffee in his hand. The cup was steaming, and it was difficult to tell his expression in the mist.
She didn't know how to comfort him, so she kept silent.
It never occurred to her that such a thing would happen to the mysterious Nan clan. It turned out that Jack's parents had already died in a car accident.
She suddenly felt sorry for the tall man in front of her.
Losing parents' love and care was the most miserable thing in the world.
"Why did they have a car accident?"
She was a little curious. They didn't tend to have an accident with the power of the Nan clan.
"Then why was I assassinated?"
Jack did not answer but asked, glancing at her delicate face.
In an instant, she didn't know what to say. She was also curious why such an accident would occur in the Nan clan.
"It's always the people around you who hurt you."
The man's faint voice came to her ears. She was shocked and her back was a little cold.
She looked around and suddenly felt a little nervous.
"What's wrong?"
Realizing what she was doing, Jack asked with amusement.
"I don't think it's safe here."
She raised her little face, with a serious look in her big eyes on the delicate face, and her lips were slightly opened.
Seeing that she was so lovely, he couldn't help kissing her pink lips. Then, she pushed him away at once and covered her mouth with her hands. "It's safe here. Don't worry."
The northern suburbs was his place, and not everyone could easily break into it.
Even if they broke in, they would probably not be able to escape.
After all, living under in danger all the time, he was more sensitive to safety than anyone else.
