Chapter 13 Who did I think it was
When old Mr. Jones was young, he once met a confidant surnamed Davis, who was also from Raleigh. They shared the same ideals.
At that time, the two wanted to marry their grandchildren. Later, because old Mr. Jones suddenly returned to Dover, they were disconnected for several years since then. "Grandpa, cooperating with Davis is the most favorable choice for our company -"
"All right, all right. I only wanted to see the final good result, and you don't let me down."
Jacob slightly drooped his deep eyes, "I understand."
Knowing that Jacob was a quiet and reserved person, old Mr. Jones stopped talking and pointed to the side hall. "Go and see your mother."
Jacob nodded and walked towards the big bedroom in the side hall.
When his father and mother's car accidentally fell into the water, his father failed to rescue and died on the spot, and his mother fell ill because she was soaked in water for a long time. "Mom, have you had a rest?"
"My little Jacob, come in." There came a gentle and quiet female voice.
Gaining approval, Jacob pushes the door in.
A woman in a long black velvet dress turned her head, looking pale, and she coughed a few times.
Jacob walked in and saw the picture in his mother's hand. He said, "Mom, you miss your father again."
Referring to her late husband, a touch of sadness flitted across her face.
"Did the doctor still prescribe the same drugs for you?" Jacob was concerned.
"I ate the Chinese medicine this time," she shook her head. "The effect of Chinese medicine is slow, but it will do harm to my health if eating too much western medicine."
She put down the picture and suddenly told him, "Jacob, your brother was... Fine. Forget it. It's meaningless to talk about the past. In short, you should take care of him for me. At least don't watch him become a bad guy." Hearing this, Jacob did not immediately answer. Seeing that his mother had been waiting for him to answer.
Jacob said, "I see. You should take good care of yourself."
The next day.
Sarah woke up and went out to find the living room empty.
She almost forgot that Jacob asked for leave last night.
Before going out, she stared at the ancient box on the bedside table.
After thinking about it twice, she decided that it was safer to deposit her father's legacy in the bank.
So, after she deposited the box in the bank, she returned to the company.
She was more than half an hour late because of this.
In Davis's company.
Sarah just entered the building, and Ashley seemed to have just arrived. She was standing at the elevator entrance waiting for the elevator. With a slight tilt of the head, she saw Sarah.
"It was my sister who was late?"
Her voice was shrill and echoed through the empty hall with a response.
