Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 30 Tomorrow Please, Is That Okay

"Since she is your ex-husband's lover, why did she hang out with another man?" Jacob asked, he seemed that he had discovered something interesting

Nicole bit her lips and said nothing.

Actually, Jacob had seen many women like Sabina in his social circle. He just pretended not understanding and played tricks on Nicole.

"Is it because your ex-husband came back to you again and they have broken up?"

"Should I say you are a siren, or your ex-husband is so persistent?"

"What? Haven't you been moved by his persistence?"

Jacob didn't even notice himself that his tone was sour and not domineering at all, just like a young boy in his teens who was jealous.

Gazing at the fleeting scenery outside the car window, Nicole kept silent for a while. Then she turned to look at Jacob and said rudely, "Why are you so boring?"

"……"

Jacob closed his mouth tightly and his face darkened.

Nicole turned back to the window, snorting. After a while, she said in a light voice, "scum and bitch, they are not worth talking about."

"……"

Jacob was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Nicole would curse people in this way.

But he liked to hear that.

Hence, his unhappiness from Nicole's judgment on him, soon disappeared.

Jacob drove Nicole back to the hospital and left. He had a case to handle personally, so he couldn't be with Nicole all the time. The director of the hospital where Nicole's mother was staying had been reporting all the information to him, so he didn't have to go up to check Nicole's mother in person.

Besides, he and Nicole were just have a business relationship. And they were not even friends. It would be a bit strange to visit her mother on purpose.

With the full treatment of the doctor, Judy's condition was finally stabilized. Except for the getting worse of her memory, everything was fine.

Nicole had been worried that Austin and Selina would come and make trouble again. she had specially asked Jim to be on guard, but it turned out that she was worried too much. Liang family seemed to have disappeared, not even a shadow.

About three weeks later, Judy was discharged from the hospital.

On the day when they left the hospital, Nicole had already prepared everything. She cleaned up the house in advance and specially called a taxi and rent a wheelchair. She kept very busy, afraid of even any small mistake.

It was not until Nicole escorted Judy back home and helped her lie down on the bed that she felt relieved.

After all, Judy was still weak that she was so tired after half a day's journey. So she fell asleep after chatting with them for a while.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Nicole looked at her mother's sleeping face and felt much more relieved.

"Hum-Hum-Hum-" The phone in her pocket suddenly buzzed.

Nicole, afraid of waking her mother up, hurriedly went out of the bedroom and gently closed the door. Then she took out her mobile phone.

It was from Jacob.

Nicole looked at the familiar number and her heart skipped a beat.

Jacob seemed to be very busy these days. After that day she was sent back to the hospital, He didn't show up and he didn't contact her as well.

But every day, someone would be regularly sending fruits and takeout to the hospital. Nicole felt embarrassed and asked them not to do it anymore. They said that they were only following the order and kept doing the same thing the next day.

The care from him warmed Nicole's heart a little bit. Especially during the discharge procedure in the morning and bidding goodbye to the nurses, a group of nurses, who were about at the same age as Nicole, teased and said to Nicole that her boyfriend was considerate that often delivered fruits and high-grade snacks to the nurse station to comfort them.

Nicole didn't expect that Jacob was so considerate. At that time, she even had the impulse to call him to say thanks.

As she pressed the button, she got afraid of being taunted by Jacob. She thought for a moment and put her phone away.

So, As she saw the call, Nicole didn't know what to do.

Due to a long time of hesitation, her phone stopped vibrating.

Nicole felt a little regretted. When she was about to dial back, her phone buzzed again.

Only shaking for a moment, Nicole received it in a hurry.

"Why didn't you answer my call?" The man on the other end of the line said coldly.

Nicole hurried to the toilet and closed the door. She answered honestly, "I didn't get a chance."

"Oh," said Jacob, and continued, "come to my place tonight, I'll send a driver to pick you up."

"What? I... My mother has left the hospital and I am at home now. " Nicole's voice softened.

"I know."

Hearing Jacob's irresistible tone, Nicole couldn't say what she actually wanted to say.

But today was the first day that her mother was out of hospital. If something bad happened to her mother, her brother couldn't handle it alone.

"Can you Tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow? " Nicole pleaded, "my mother has just been discharged from the hospital. I have to take care of her. I really have no idea... I'm sorry... "

It was Jacob's breathing that answered Nicole.

Nicole was afraid that Jacob would lose his temper again, so she added quickly, "I really wasn't looking for any excuse, my mother..."

This time, Jacob only said "I got it." before she could finish her words, then he hung up.

Nicole listened to the busy tone from the phone and leaned against the toilet door.

'The 'I got it.' from Jacob, should mean yes. 'she thought.

She was lucky to have escaped from his anger, but why she felt empty in her heart.

"Sister?" No idea how long Nicole stood in a daze for a long time until she heard a knock on the door.

Nicole came back to her senses, opened the door and went out, saying: "Jim, what's wrong?"

"What will we have for dinner tonight, Sister? I'm going to buy some food." Jim asked obediently with a basket in his hand.

Seeing that her brother was so considerate, Nicole gave him an indulgent smile and said, "it doesn't matter. I am on it. You should go to do your summer homework. Your school is starting soon."

"Yes, sister. But I don't want to..."

"Listen to me. This is not a big deal. You don't need to worry about it. I can handle it."

Nicole took the basket from Jim, and pushed him into the study room. Then she took her purse with her and went out.

Although Nicole was still thinking about the call from Jacob, she prepared a sumptuous dinner for the family, served her mother, and helped her mother exercise. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

After she cleaned up the kitchen and took a shower, it was already ten o'clock at night.

Nicole was exhausted after the whole day.

She dried her hair, went to bed, and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

"Beep! Beep!"

Her phone on the bedside table started vibrating.

Nicole was woken up. She grabbed the phone and answered it, squinting without checking the caller ID.

"Hello..." She said vaguely.

The other side of the phone paused for a few seconds before he spoke.

"Come down."
