A smile quickly replaced the frown on Jonathanâs face as soon as he heard Vivianâs words.
âAll right. Once I go back, Iâll eat a lot. Then, weâll play together again!â
âOkay!â
Vivian was so happy at that. She then snuggled into Jonathanâs arms and started to read the fairytale
she brought with keen interest.
Sasha let out a heartfelt smile at the scene.
Then, she said to Mark, âAll right. Letâs find Dr. Wallen to get his permission to leave the hospital.â
âOkay.â
Mark took in the scene in surprise. After a while, he left to find Grayson.
Ten minutes later, in the directorâs office.
As expected, Grayson widened his eyes in disbelief as he exclaimed, âHe still plans to attend his sonâs
funeral in Red Pavilion? Is he out of his mind? With his condition, how can he withstand the devastation
of losing his son and daughter-in-law and handle the people who come to cause trouble once heâs
there?â
He was so shocked that he didnât even bother to be tactful with his words like what he previously did in
front of Sasha and Mark.
Mark knitted his brows.
âDr. Wallen, since youâre aware that they are there to look for trouble, if Old Mr. Jadeson isnât there, how
can Mr. Devin deal with them alone? We canât let him get humiliated and become the laughing stock of
Jadeborough without doing anything.â
Hearing that, Grayson could no longer say anything.
A few minutes later, he handed Mark a bottle of medicine. âRemember to take good care of him. Heâs
already eighty years old, so he canât withstand so many strong blows.â
âIâll keep that in mind. Thank you, Dr. Wallen.â
Mark took the bottle gratefully and left.
Indeed, Mark needed that bottle of medicine. After all, even he, as an adjutant, couldnât be sure about
what was waiting for them at Red Pavilion later.
People had regarded the Jadesons as a thorn in their flesh due to the familyâs power and fame for years.
Now that they finally got to witness such a scandal, there was no way they could let the chance go at
ease.
When Mark returned to the ward, Sasha had instructed her sons to coax Jonathan into changing his
clothes and finished preparing everything. Seeing Mark, she asked, âHave you gotten it?â
Mark nodded. âYes. He even gave me a bottle of medicine.â
When Jonathan was engrossed in talking with the children, Mark quickly took the chance and showed
her the medicine.
Sasha looked at it and paused briefly. Moments later, she took it and put it into her bag.
Is the funeral going to be worse than what I imagined?
At the thought of that, she put up her guard.
Before long, they left the hospital and headed toward Red Pavilion.
Unbeknownst to them, at the moment, Jocelyn and the others had gathered at The Ataraxy to discuss
the funeral as well.
âDad, is it necessary for all of us to attend the funeral? After what Stephen and Jasmine did, they
deserve to die. Everyone will only make fun of us there. If thatâs the case, why should we go?â
Being the most straightforward out of all, Jocelyn stated her unwillingness as soon as she saw the
change of black clothes.
Even though Shirley remained silent, it was apparent that she was also unwilling just by looking at her
expression.
Only Colton Jadeson, Jaredâs youngest son who lived in Cameo House, said hesitantly, âI donât think
thatâs appropriate. After all, we are a part of the Jadesons as well. Now that our brother and his wife left
the world, itâs impolite for us to refuse to attend their funeral.â
Yet, Jocelyn scoffed before retorting, âWho are you calling âbrother?â Your brothers are all here, and
theyâre long gone from this world.â
At that, Coltonâs face turned pale as he kept quiet. He didnât dare to utter his opinion anymore.
Meanwhile, Jared simply looked at the scene coldly. When he saw that everyone had finally stopped
quarreling, he glanced at the woman who stood beside him and said, âIf so, letâs just send someone over.
Colton, Iâll entrust you with this task.â
âWhat?â
Not expecting Jared to appoint him, Colton raised his head in shock and stuttered, âM-Me? But Dad, I
canât. Iâd never been to such a big event before. I-I-â
âYou useless brat! Iâm only asking you to attend a funeral. All you have to do is to show up there and
leave once you sense that the situation is getting out of control,â Jared scolded.
Hearing that, Colton could only purse his lips and swallow his words.
If Jonathan knew how the other Jadesons tried to steer clear of the mess and avoid them at such a time,
he would surely pass out in rage.
At the same time, a silver-grey BMW had long parked outside the Ataraxy. Seeing Colton walk out with a
timid look, someone in the car finally asked, âMs. Jadeson, shouldnât you stop him?â
Stop him?
Sitting gracefully at the back, a middle-aged woman smirked. âWhy should I? Isnât this the best timing to
watch a show?â
