Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 311 I Will Call You

"I know, Mr. Jacob. I will start over." Cindy continued eating her meal. For a moment, she was in a daze.

After going through such a harrowing experience, many people would think that the world is collapsing upon them.

However, Jacob was different. He had gone through so much, and he knew that the only way to survive in life was to power through whatever obstacle life threw at him. That's why he took all his wins and losses in stride.

He knew he couldn't control what would happen to him, but he could control how he would react. That's why he made sure he was mentally strong. By doing so, he was living a more vibrant life than he ever had.

That's why when Cindy jumped off the bridge, Jacob didn't even blink. This was not a problem that had been caused in a short time. So many factors went into molding their thoughts and feelings.

What they went through and how they grew up determined what kind of outlook on life they would possess.

Some people were fragile because they were used to it and because others around them were fragile, too. Some people were strong because they were used to being strong.

Cindy was used to loneliness. She was wary of the world, and she didn't trust life to be in her favor. What was left for her now? She had gained a sense of security from her work at the company, but it wasn't enough.

Sometimes, a woman's sense of security came from a man. However, oftentimes, a woman's sense of security would come from her family. After all, their home was their harbor.

Jacob could almost see right into Cindy's heart. She was a frail and fragile being, and it was natural for her to make such a choice.

People would encounter various choices in their lives. Those choices could be as trivial as choosing what food to eat or which clothes to wear. However, some choices had the power to change a life. Whether it be for better or for worse, a person's life could be altered completely by that choice.

Different people would encounter different things. It was natural that they would have different feelings as well. Jacob thought about this and agreed with James.

"I just hope you understand that death can't solve any problem. In this world, it is more difficult to live than to die. While you are still alive, you must strive to make the most of your life. Choose to be positive. It's not that difficult to do,"

Jacob said calmly. He laid down his bowl and his chopsticks.

They had barely eaten anything. Jacob looked at the food on the small table and said, "Hurry up and eat. If you don't eat, how will you have the strength to do anything else? You have already been through the death once. Don't think too much." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Cindy's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she stayed silent for a long time. She had even thought of using death to escape from her problems in life.

She looked down at her food and ate little by little. Salty tears ran down her cheeks as she struggled to keep herself from sobbing loudly. Jacob stared at Cindy and said nothing.

To live was to understand. However, many people were unable to accomplish this.

It was the lack of understanding that caused pain and heartache. However, when people were faced with a difficult situation, they would often forget this simple truth.

The more Cindy thought about it, the sadder she became. Her tears blurred her vision, and she couldn't keep her hands from trembling. She had never felt so sad before.

Persistence differed with each person. It could be either a good thing or a bad thing. Some people would persist in their endeavors in life, and it would lead them to success. However, some people were persistent to the point of hurting themselves.

Jacob turned around, averting his gaze from Cindy's sad face. By now, Cindy could understand a lot.

Sorrow was temporary. Soon, she would heal and learn from her pain. Cindy chewed her food in between small sobs.

If she had told Jacob about this earlier, she wouldn't have acted so stupidly. It had taken her so long to figure out. It was like she had missed out on so much.

Jacob walked out of the ward and took out his phone to call Sara.

"Sara, there's something at the company that requires my attention. I'm still in the middle of handling it. I may not have the chance to see you and mom tomorrow. Please don't worry about me, and take good care of mom."

Jacob spoke in such a rush. On the other end of the line, Sara frowned and began to feel nervous.

"What happened, Jacob? You didn't come. I knew something must have happened, so I didn't bother you. Is it serious? Do you need my help?" Hearing Sara's questions, Jacob smiled.

"It's okay. Don't worry. I can take care of it. It's an internal matter of the company, and it's not that big of a deal. You take good care of mom. Everything is fine here. I'll call you when I've got it all sorted out. Don't worry."

He leaned on the chair next to him and used his other hand to prop up the hand that was holding his phone. Cindy looked at Jacob's figure from inside her room.

Since she entered the company, she had admired and revered him. He had always been good to her. She felt guilty about the whole thing, and she wanted nothing more than to make everything okay for Jacob.

She not only messed everything up, but she also almost lost her life because of her own stupid decision. The trouble she brought to Jacob was getting bigger and bigger by the minute, but still Jacob chose to comfort her. There was no anger or malice in his voice, only tenderness and forgiveness.

Jacob was truly one of a kind. There was no doubt about that. He had a bright future ahead of him.

Suddenly, Cindy smiled. She found herself feeling much better. She had been given a second chance at life. It was only right for her to live life to the fullest. As for the jerk who had hurt her, she would definitely hold him accountable.

She no longer felt afraid of anything that might come her way. After all, she had already looked death in the eye.

Jacob hung up the phone and saw that Cindy was watching him. Jacob pushed the door open and went straight to her.

"Are you feeling better now? If you still feel sad, I can turn on the TV. You can watch some funny shows to make you laugh. Relax, and don't hurry to get anything done,"

Jacob said to Cindy. He pulled up a chair and sat down beside her.

"I see, Mr. Jacob. Thank you." Cindy smiled a small smile. She looked beautiful, and a kind of glow seemed to envelop her.

"Well... Do you like the food? If you don't like it, I can buy something else." Jacob glanced at the dishes on the table. Cindy had barely eaten anything. She just picked at her food.

"No, thank you, Mr. Jacob. Besides, I have no appetite now. I just want to leave the hospital as soon as possible and find that bastard. I want him to pay for what he's done."

Cindy's face turned red with anger. She had been too lenient and softhearted before. Now, she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she couldn't make him pay.

"It's good that you can figure it out. Don't rush. You can leave the hospital tomorrow. Just rest today. Although this may seem difficult, it can be handled."

Jacob smiled. His eyes were full of kindness and understanding.
