Chapter 1536

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.

"I 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;

I 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.”

"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?"
