Chapter 446 Only You Would Believe His Words (4)
But it no longer mattered!
She was just relieved that she hadn't told him about her pregnancy.
Otherwise, things would have only gotten more complicated.
Seeing her silence, James demanded, "Are you mute? Why aren't you speaking? What did you talk about earlier that made you disregard Grandpa's safety?"
Jessica lowered her eyes and said, "He just told me that Rose's child is not dead."
James's expression changed instantly. He was no longer aggressive but rather flustered and at a loss.
A cold smile crossed Jessica's lips as she looked at him and said, "Well, are you satisfied now?"
James felt a lump in his throat, wanting to explain, but realized that any explanation would be futile.
Suddenly, cries came from the nearby hospital room.
James and Jessica rushed to the room simultaneously.
The doctor had already announced Gerald's time of death, and Linda and George were crying as they covered Gerald with a white sheet.
James stood there, watching the white sheet slowly cover Gerald's gray face, his whole body stiff.
He clenched his fists tightly but didn't cry out like the others.
Some grief is so deep that it cuts like a knife, and there's no need to cry it out.
Or perhaps he had already prepared himself for this day; Gerald was always going to have this day.
So when the day finally came, it didn't feel so sudden or hard to accept.
Jack also didn't cry.
Compared to the suppressed pain in James's eyes, Jack's eyes were filled with indifference and numbness.
After all, he always felt that Gerald never treated him as a real grandson, and he never considered Gerald an indispensable family member.
Dead is dead!
Jessica stood beside James, initially trying hard to suppress her emotions.
She didn't want to cry like Linda and disturb Gerald, preventing him from resting in peace.
But when the funeral home staff came to take Gerald's body, Jessica finally felt that Gerald was really gone, never to return.
"Grandpa!"
Jessica suddenly ran over, blocking them, kneeling by Gerald's body, and cried, "Please, don't touch my grandpa, don't move him!"
The funeral home staff didn't dare to approach easily.
James couldn't bear it any longer and went over to pull Jessica up, holding her tightly in his arms, saying, "Don't do this, Jessica! Grandpa is gone, let him rest in peace, okay?"
Jessica cried in his arms, like a child who had lost everything, watching helplessly as Gerald's body was taken away.
James could only hold her tightly, her cries seemingly also releasing his own sorrow.
Gerald's funeral was organized by James.
As Gerald's son and daughter-in-law, George and Linda naturally had to attend.
Because of the Kelly family's status in Ocean City, guests came in an endless stream to pay their respects.
The Howard family, being a prominent family in Ocean City, couldn't avoid attending the funeral and sent Nathan.
Seeing Nathan, James instinctively felt a bit of hostility.
