    Chapter 1452


    He seemed to be telling Old Master Reed of his determination to love Grace.


    Old Master Reed red 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 apanied 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 apanied Jason. This time, she held his hand firmly.


    Old Master Reed’s funeral was set for three dayster, and the body was first ced in an ice coffin. It


    was set up in the Reed family’s mourning hall.


    However, unlike normal practices, Jason did not receive outsiders


    toe to the hall to mourn.


    For him, the mourning hall was a ce where no outsiders were


    allowed.

    This mourning hall was his father’s resting ce, 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.
