Chapter 219 Visiting Nichs (Part Three)


    "Grandpa, your eyesight is not what it used to, right?" Terence pointed at the corner of the painting,


    "There, read the name of the artist over there." Nichs knocked on Terence''s forehead, "You little


    bastard. How dare you talk back! Race, go and get my eyesses."


    "Yes Mr. Nichs." Race turned around and chuckled.


    Nichs put on the sses and began to examine the oil painting carefully. He didn''t go straight for the


    signature because he didn''t want Terence to sense his eagerness. But after he saw the sign of the


    name, Nichs gasped again, "Ca? You painted this? It''s incredible! I can''t believe it!"


    Ca was shy. She smiled and nodded in response. Nichs almost stood up and hugged her.


    "Terence, listen up. Our family is lucky to have Ca. You have to cherish her. She is too good for you.


    Ca is a rare treasure." Nichs was serious in attitude this time. He had to admit that deep in his


    heart, he did look down a little upon amon girl like Ca before. He himself preferred fierce and


    powerful woman, the kind that was like himself.


    "Thank you, Grandpa Nichs," said Ca gently. Her voice was soft.


    Nichs waved his hand, "Child, I have to apologize to you. You deserve more respect. Grandpa was


    wrong with everything about you." Nichs began to cough. It was obvious that he was still pretty


    weak. Race tried to give him some medication but he refused. Race stepped aside again.


    He was happy and satisfied. He wanted no medicine to spoil the good mood.


    Throughout the years, he was worried about his favorite grandson, Terence.


    Now that Terence finally found a good girl and was going to settle down with her, he have nothing to


    worry about anymore. He would have many great grandchildren in the household and he was looking


    forward to that day.


    Hot tears was rolling down Nichs'' cheeks. His chest began to rise and fall.


    "Grandpa, easy!" Terence was panicked.


    "You just promised Ca that you would take good care of yourself! And think about your great


    grandchildren! Think about them!" Ca also looked frantic. She jumped up immediately and tried to


    soothe Nichs'' back to help him breathe. Race had already run back to the care unit to get the heart


    medication.


    Terence wanted to p himself on the face! How could he do that! He knew that Grandpa Nichs had


    heart disease yet he still decided to "surprise" him again and again. Ca was right. He was a total


    idiot.


    "I''m all right. I''m all right!" Nichs slowly recovered. The red color on his face began to wear off.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Though it was quite embarrassing that the first thing Nichs remembered and chose to attend to was


    his new painting, "Race. I want the painting in my bedroom, hang it on the wall where I could see it


    every day." Race nodded in a hurry and ran off with the oil painting. He was so afraid that Mr. Nichs


    would get angry at him for being slow.


    "Yes, Mr. Nichs. I am right on it, Mr. Nichs," said Race in distance. The job took Race less than 5


    minutes. He summoned at least 10 maids to hang the painting. Who knew what would happen if they


    were not fast enough.


    Terence also stood up and poured a ss of still water for Nichs, "There, grandpa. Drink some


    water. It''s good for your health."


    Nichs shot Terence a disapproval nce. "Still water? I don''t want still water. What am I? A small


    boy?" "Come on, grandpa. Since when don''t you like still water? You always say that water is the best


    beverage. How about I pour you some sparkling water?" asked Terence.


    Nichs got angry about nothing again, "Now you are really treating me like a small boy, aren''t you?


    I''ve never tried sparkling water in my life!" shouted Nichs.


    "Then you should give it a try," Terence talked back again.


    Nichs exchanged nces with Terence shortly and turned to Ca, "Dear child, can you go to the


    reception room and pour grandpa a ss of Scotch with ice?"


    Scotch? Ca was surprised. She didn''t know what to say so she looked at Terence. She thought


    Terence would say no to Nichs.


    But to her surprise, Terence agreed with him this time.


    "Race, can you please lead the way and Miss Ca will follow," said Terence. "Yes, Mr. Terence,"


    answered Race. It looked as if Nichs might not want her to stay here right now.


    Ca nodded obediently and asked Race, "Race, can you lead the way to the kitchen please? I want to


    make some nourishing porridge for Grandpa Nichs."


    Nichs was pleased with Ca''s filial heart and her politeness. "Race, listen to Miss Ca." Nichs


    told Race.


    Ca and Race left the room and closed the door for them.


    "She is a good kid. She knows how to behave in a delicate situation," Nichs praised Ca. "Yes, she


    is. She the best woman in the world," said Terence, looking at the closed door as if Ca was still


    there. He was really crazy about her.


    "Really? Better than your mother and grandmother?" questioned Nichs.


    Terence didn''t answer that ridiculous question.


    "Grandpa, you want to talk to me in private?" Terence asked. He took a chair and sat beside the old


    man.


    Nichs didn''t respond. Terence started to rub and soothe Nichs'' back and shoulder with both of his


    hands.


    About 5 minutester, Nichs sighed and grabbed Terence by the arm, "Listen up. Something went


    wrong in NF. Terence, you have to listen to me this time. I know everything." Terence listened quietly.


    Nichs continued, "You can''t go there yourself. I am demanding you. It is not safe anymore." Nichs


    had a fierce look while saying those words. His eyes became sharp.


    Terence just smiled and didn''t say a word. He knew it was not safe anymore. But If not him, then who?


    Nichs sighed again, "Terry, you..." "Grandpa!" Terence interrupted, "What did Ca say before? You


    should take good care of your health. Can you please stop worrying about all these things? I am a


    grown-up man now. I know what I am doing."


    Nichs shook his head in disapproval, "I know you have grown up. And you are an outstanding


    business man. But this time you have to listen to me."


    The atmosphere soon became solemn. "I know you don''t want me to worry about these things. But you


    have to follow my orders this time. You CANNOT go."


    "Your eldest brother took great pains with business in NF. There is nothing he does not know. Do you


    understand what it means? It means that what happened there was not a careless mistake. It was


    nned for sure. He must know." Nichs paused and took a deep breath. "And I suspect that your


    brother is behind all these." Nichs dropped the bombshell.
