Old Mr. Moran put down the brush pen and opened the desk drawer while saying these to Joanna. Then, he solemnly took out a rosewood box and handed it to Joanna.
"Joan, open it up."
Joanna took the box and opened it with care. Inside the box was a medal engraved with a dove of peace and a sword. Joanna turned to Old Mr. Moran with confusion. "Grandpa, is this…"
"Child, your grandfather gave me this before he died. This medal was dear to him and symbolized his heroic life. Now, I'm passing it on to you."
Old Mr. Moran sighed as he recalled the legendary life of his dearest friend. "Your grandfather was most worried about you before his death. He repeatedly told me to pass the medal to you three years after your marriage with Ace…"
"It's now the third year of your marriage. The medal carries your grandfather's blessing to you both. It'll bless you both with a happy ever after marriage!"
