I could keenly feel Grandpa's life slipping away bit by bit, his voice incredibly weak. "Whatever happens... don't let Jessica marry into our family. Guard the Frost family for me." "I will... I will..."

"Okay... Charlotte remembers, every word."

Grandpa used his last bit of strength, smiling kindly at me. "With this, Grandpa can rest in peace..."
