Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 23 So, You Want To Break The Contract

Nicole and the nurse looked at the door and found that Jacob walked into the ward with a plastic bag in his hand.

You could see that breakfast was in the plastic bag.

The nurse packed up and smiled at Nicole, "it seems that your husband has bought breakfast for you."

"No, he isn't..."

The nurse left before Nicole could explain it clearly.

There were only them two left in the ward, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.

Jacob stared at Nicole for a few seconds. He put the breakfast on the night table, opened it and handed it to her.

"Go ahead." His tone was so cold that no one could know whether he was angry or not.

Nicole was so exhausted that she was holding the breakfast box trembled slightly and she even couldn't sit up. Seeing this, Jacob took the breakfast box and helped her sit up, feeding her mouthful by mouthful.

"Thank you."

Nicole finished more than half a box of breakfast and looked better. She said softly with her head down.

Jacob didn't say anything and continued to feed her. He spoke when Nicole finished eating the whole box of breakfast and put it on the night table.

"You belong to me now. It's not convenient for me if you get sick. Take care of yourself in the future."

Nicole frowned, she clutched the sheet with her hands that were hanging on her side. She was just wondering whether she heard a word from Jacob last night was an illusion. He was so kind-hearted.

But now, it turned out to be true!

The reason why Jacob was so nice to her was that he had spent a million on her. It was just that she hadn't been used up by Jacob!

"Got it." She lowered her head, and her voice was still stubborn.

Jacob looked down at her, which made him worried for the whole morning. Gradually, the worry and heartache in his eyes were replaced by coldness and disdain.

"Remember your identity. If you have any problem, call me immediately. I will ask people to handle it. Don't bring me any unnecessary troubles like last night."

Nicole was stiff when she heard Jacob said that she brought him an unnecessary trouble because her fever and fainted.

It turned out that she was already such a terrible thing in his mind. He even didn't care about her life.

Nicole felt terrible. She lowered her head, tears was welling up in her eyes.

"Don't leave the hospital until you get better. Don't bother me." Then, he left the ward without looking back.

Gritting her teeth, Nicole laid flat and tears fell down her cheeks.

She didn't like the way Jacob treated her.

Not at all.

After a while, a nurse came to the ward again. She came to put Nicole on a drip. Because Nicole's eyes were swollen from crying, Nicole pretended to be asleep with her eyes close. Noticing that she was sleepy, the nurse didn't disturb her any more. After finishing hanging the infusion bottle, the nurse left the ward.

She had been pretending to be asleep, but her illness consumed too much energy. Lying on the bed, she fell asleep soon.

She didn't wake up until the afternoon. When she woke up, the infusion had been done. She didn't know when Jacob came. He was looking out of the window and had his back toward her.

Nicole didn't expect to see Jacob as soon as she opened her eyes. Thinking of the unpleasant experience this morning, she sighed slightly.

But to her surprise, it was heard by Jacob and he turned around.

"I... I'm fine now. It's time to go home. " Nicole hurriedly found a topic and got out of bed.

Jacob stood still, and the doctor also said that Nicole could indeed be discharged from the hospital.

After putting on her shoes, Nicole touched her pocket and asked Jacob in confusion, "Where... Where are my phone and bag? "

"In the closet." He lifted his chin and looked at the night table.

"Okay," Nicole replied. As expected, she found her bag and phone in the closet. She wanted to say thank you to him, but swallowed it back because she was afraid that she would tease Jacob again.

Jacob didn't tell Nicole that all her bags and cell phone were brought back by him, he thought it was unnecessary to tell her. He didn't want Nicole to know that he still cared about her.

"From now on, you will live in my place. Since you belong to me now, you should accompany me well. Don't always think about escaping." Jacob said coldly.

Pursing her lips, Nicole looked at Jacob and said awkwardly, "But... I have to take care of my mother. She needs help. "

Jacob didn't mean to force Nicole, but when he saw her resistant eyes, his heart froze and pretended to be cruel, "Really? So you are going to break your contract? You will leave as soon as you get the money from me? "

"No", Nicole hurriedly explained, "You know that my mother has just had a heart operation. She needs to be taken care of now. I can't leave her alone."

"Really? Do you mean that you can't accompany me as long as your mother is in hospital? Then the money I spent didn't make any sense, did it? " Jacob snorted, with a disdainful look on his face.

Nicole was hurt by the sharp light in Jacob's eyes. She looked away and said indifferently, "How do you want me to accompany you?"

Yes, how could she accompany him.

Jacob was stunned by her words. He kept silent for a while. Then he burst into laughter and said, "Now that you have promised me to accompany me, you should do your best to take care of me."

Nicole was injured and couldn't help refuting, "it's just this year. Jacob, it's just this year."

Jacob burst into laughter. "Of course only in this year. Otherwise, what do you think? Do you think how much I'm interested in you?"

Nicole looked down, and the long eyelashes covered the sorrow and pain in her eyes. She had never thought that she and Jacob would become like this. The sweet love between them had already disappeared, and the rest of their life was just a dirty deal.

She couldn't help but wonder if, if she hadn't promised Jacob's mother, would everything be different?

But there was no if.

Nicole was still standing there. She didn't know what to say.

Maybe she didn't need to say anything. What she needed to do was to listen to Jacob and be his mistress for a year.

She only hoped that Jacob could have some sympathy for her mother, and thus she could take good care of her mother. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Nicole closed her eyes deeply and opened again. She spoke in a low voice with a begging tone. "Mr. Jacob, can I go to see my mother now?"

Staring at the fragile Nicole in front of him, Jacob almost blurted out, "okay."

"Thank you."

Nicole was about to leave when the screen of her mobile phone suddenly lit up.

The caller ID was Jim. Nicole answered the phone immediately regardless of the presence of Jacob.

"Sis, where are you? Something happened to mom!"

On the other end of the phone, there was a helpless and flustered cry of Jim.
