Chapter 123 Unbelievable
Uncle James was waiting at the door. It was so cold outside and no one knows how long has he been standing there. The cold wind had sent out a piercing chill. Sara greeted James as she got off the car.
James said with a smile, "You came so early. It's cold outside. Come in."
Sara nodded. Jacob got off the car and greeted James, "Uncle, I'm going to park the car. You and Sara may go in first."
James nodded and smiled at the sight of the hand-warmer of Sara. He was pleased that Jacob finally learnt to take care of Sara.
James walked ahead, followed by Sara. While James walked, he said in a long voice, "Sara, I've heard about things between you and Jacob. It's normal for people to be seduced at some moment. Don't take it to heart. You two should have a better life in the future."
Sara raised his eyes to look at the back side of James's head. In fact, he was not really old. However, due to overthinking and overwork, he looked much older than average people.
"I know, uncle." Sara temporized. Only she knew the situation between Jacob and herself. She wish that Jacob was just been seduced temporarily. But it happened that it was not the case at all.
Except for Jacob, no one in his family knew that they had reached an agreement to get divorced. With this alone, Jacob's endurance and confidential work could be seen.
"If Jacob does something wrong in the future, tell me and I will teach him for you. Anyway, we can't let him break the rules, " James suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Sara seriously, making Sara felt flattered.
"Thank you, Uncle James." Smile emerged on Sara's face. This was the most unforgettable part of the Shi clan for Sara. Except for Jacob, the elders treated her very well.
Their words made Sara felt comfortable even if they didn't work. Sara could feel that she was cared and loved by them.
There was a long way to get into the villa from the gate.
It took them a few minutes before they could enter the villa. The air conditioner in the villa was on, which made the environment much warmer. Rubbing her face, Sara felt his face frozen stiff when she walked outside just now.
A few minutes later, Jacob also came in. The servant had already served tea for them. While Sara was tasting tea, Jacob also came in and sat down. At that moment, James asked, "Jacob, what's wrong with you? When are you going to remarry Sara?"
Jacob and Sara looked at James in surprise at the same time. Sara didn't say anything. Jacob smiled and said, "We'll remarry as soon as possible, uncle."
James worn an angry face and said, "The sooner, the better."
Looking around the huge hall around, Sara felt something was missing. "By the way, uncle, where is dad?"
Jacob had the same question, but he hadn't find a chance to ask. He didn't expect that Sara would ask in advance.
"Yes, uncle. Where is my father? We have told him that we'd come to see him today." Jacob frowned.
James's face darkened in an instant. He couldn't smile anymore. "His condition worsened. He needs to sleep for a long time in the morning before waking up. He hasn't woken up yet. Usually he should get up at this time. "
"What? What on earth was going on? Didn't he get better days ago? " Jacob couldn't help raising his voice. He couldn't accept the news anyway.
With a heavy look on her face, Sara asked, "Hasn't dad's disease been eradicated yet?"
James sighed, "Cancer can only be controlled and can't be eradicated. At that time, we just stopped the spread of the cancer cells. Now, the situation is getting worse. The family doctor suggested him to be hospitalized, but he didn't agree. He said that even if he died, he should die at home. He is afraid of going to the hospital... "
As soon as James finished his words, Jacob stood up and walked towards his father's bedroom upstairs, followed by Sara.
Jacob gently pushed the door open. His father was still sleeping peacefully in the bed. For a moment, Jacob wanted to cry. Her father's illness was so serious. But in order not to cause him any trouble, he didn't told Jacob about this. All kinds of sadness and guilt overwhelmed Jacob's heart.
Sara looked at Michael lying on the bed, and then at Jacob standing beside. She suddenly felt helpless. No matter how great or tough someone was, his life would come to an end someday. No matter how rich and powerful they were, it was impossible for people to escape from death.
For a moment, the two of them were overwhelmed by grief. Jacob went up and tucked his father and tucked him. Then he turned to Sara and said, "Let's go out now. When dad wakes up, he will call us."
She knew how sad Jacob was now. Even though she was not the decedent of Michael, she still wanted to cry. But she couldn't cry now.
When they went out silently, James was sitting on a carved wooden chair downstairs, in a daze. The greatest pleasure of his life was to stay with his brother, watching him riding the whirlwind.
But now, his brother had to contemplate his own demise He sighed heavily and looked at the two young men slowly walking down the stairs. It's really nice to be young, but many young people don't cherish their young age.
When they were young, they didn't know how to cherish love. When he was old, they felt lonely, complaining that the world treated them unfairly. When they were young, they didn't cherish time. When they were old, they complained that they had accomplished nothing. When they were young, they didn't cherish health. When they were old, they complained that God didn't give them healthy body. This was the situation of most of the young people nowadays.
They stayed up late in pubs, and wish that they could enjoy long life span. They were lazy at work and wish that they could acquire love and wealth.
Although Jacob was not like that, in the eyes of James, it was even more serious no to cherish the lover standing beside him. It was how James himself missed his lover and kept single till now. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Dying along might already become a joke for the young people today, but when it really happened to themselves, few people could laugh on it. After all, it was all because they didn't cherish their lovers.
Jacob also looked a little depressed, followed by Sara, without saying a word. Before he walked to the sofa, Jacob asked, "How long has this situation lasted?"
James squinted his eyes as if he was thinking. He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. "About a month ago."
Jacob was in disbelief. With his eyes wide open, he wondered why Michael had to stay at home instead of being hospitalized for treatment. "Why didn't you send him to the hospital?" Sara couldn't help but ask.
"My brother said that he knew his own situation and didn't want to go to the hospital any more Besides, he didn't want to cause you any trouble. He knows that you are already very busy. " James looked calm.
People at a certain age naturally saw through everything. They also knew that they need to sacrifice in order to acquire. If they couldn't change the situation, they must accept it.
Jacob was stunned. If his father was gone, what was the point of supporting the company? But when he looked at James and Sara in front of him, he made up his mind to protect the people around.
