Chapter 312 Secret Admirer

"No. Mr. Jacob, I can leave the hospital now. Look at me. I'm fine. I don't want Kim to live happily and at ease. I want him to suffer like I did and make him pay the price." Cindy was so furious that she looked like she wanted to kill Kim with her bare hands.

"The most important thing right now is your health. Don't think too much, okay? If we look for Kim right now, it will take some time. It's now getting late. Let's look for him some other time. There's no need for us to hurry. Right now, it's better for us to take a rest. We can plan for that tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Jacob reached out to the breakfast table. Afterwards, he cleaned the used dishes and threw the scraps into the trash can outside. Meanwhile, Cindy's gaze was fixated on him.

Everyone would probably admire their bosses, especially when they were handsome, like Jacob. Plus, he was also excellent and considerate.

Sadly, he was like a star in the distant sky. Cindy could only gaze at him from a distance. No matter how hard she tried to stretch out her hand, he would always be beyond her reach. That was what most people in the company thought as well. As a result, she regarded him with reverence until now.

Perhaps everyone has their own secret admirers. Cindy was not an exception. For a long time, she had been admiring Jacob in secret. And she knew that it was just admiration, not love.

Everyone has a gauge in their hearts. Perhaps it is not obvious at times, but there is always one.

Cindy was thinking about those things when she unknowingly drifted to sleep. It was quite unusual since she was usually an insomniac.

She recalled the times whenever she would go out with her friends to drink. She would always cry when she got drunk and complain that she no longer wanted to pay the price for loving. After a long

time, nobody knew if she had already stopped paying.

One thing that was clear: her bravery had lessened after pouring her love for the first time. Time would come, and it would run out in the end. For people like Cindy, it would be a disaster.

People have never been perfect. That is precisely the reason why imperfect people pursue perfection.

Cindy had always been too harsh on herself. She had always wanted a perfect life, even though it was not her own. At the same time, she also wanted to find the perfect person for herself. Honestly, she was very conflicted.

Some things in this world cannot be found no matter how hard you look. At the thought of this, she was in despair. She felt that there was no hope for her anymore. At the very moment, she was having a nightmare.

Cindy suddenly fell into the deep waters, and it did not feel good at all. She wanted to spit the water she had gulped when she fell but to no avail. She could not even breathe nor shout for help.

She felt that everything she had gone through was insignificant. All of a sudden, her desire to survive became stronger than ever. When the police came to rescue her, she was more than grateful.

Nobody commits suicide on purpose. It is just that there are difficulties that are invisible to the eye. No one in the world does not want to live. When people are on the brink of death, they suddenly miss everything in the world, no matter how insignificant it seems.

Sometimes, even those who hold a grudge choose to let go of their hate when death finally comes to them. Because after death, there is nothing they could take with them. That is life.

When Jacob finally returned to the ward, he saw that Cindy had fallen asleep. With a chuckle, he tucked her in. She was a poor girl.

Her life had always been miserable.

In this society, more and more people are unable to find their way into love. If that happens, they will not get married. If they do not, they will not have a home. People who are homeless are always restless, not their bodies but their hearts.

Cindy's uneasiness was all because of the restlessness of her heart. A person with no sense of security does not have a firm grip on society. As a result, it will be hard for that person to get along with others.

After all, loneliness is more likely to devour a person. If one stays alone for too long, it will be a predicament.

These little thoughts are actually infinitely magnified and will be a problem in the end.

Jacob glanced at Cindy, and then went out to call James. Although he could not go back, he had to know the latest developments.

"Uncle, are you still in the company?" Jacob asked with concern. He took a look at Cindy's ward before quietly walking to the stairs at the end of the corridor.

"Yes. Unfortunately, I haven't found Kim yet. I plan on waiting for you so we can find him together. I'm currently restoring the file. Although it's torn, I believe I can still put it together. It's a little difficult, though. I don't know if they'll still accept this, but let's hope they will."

On the other end of the line, James was sorting out the remains of the file with his phone on his shoulder.

"Uncle, don't work too hard. Remember to take care of yourself as well. I'd like to remind you that there's no need for you to worry. As I've said before, I have a plan."

Meanwhile, Jacob frowned at the phone, wondering whether he should tell James his plan or not.

"What plan? Jacob, why do you seem mysterious these past few days? Be honest with me. Have you come up with a good idea?" Slowly, James put down the pieces of the salvaged file. He then looked up at the ceiling and calmed down after a moment.

Most people in the company had already left, but James was still sorting the document at this hour. He could not help but yawn in exhaustion.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about that document in the meantime. Just keep it safe. Anyway, don't tell this to anyone. I want to..."

Jacob whispered. He surveyed the surroundings to make sure that no one was around. After confirming that there was none, he turned around and continued speaking.

"Uncle, you can rest assured. Besides, I have plenty of ways." Jacob seemed as if he was waiting all his life for this moment. He was aware that this was not like a simple theft. Besides, he would never let go of Kim, as well as those who were behind him.

To be honest, Jacob was uncertain if there really was someone behind Kim. However, there was one thing that he was sure of: He would never let Kim slip through his fingers. That was the reason why he could not tell James everything yet.

James sighed and said helplessly, "Fine. I'll go home now. Don't worry as well. I'm sure they won't cause huge trouble yet. You should also pay attention to your health. Don't exhaust yourself to death or be stressed. Always think positively. I'll help you no matter what."

James pursed his lips for a few seconds and added, "Although I'm old and useless, rest assured that I'll always help you until I can no longer move."

Jacob was touched. He gripped the phone tightly and almost blurted out his plan.

Fortunately, he was able to hold it back. Many secrets had to be kept until the very last second, so that the effect would be more amazing in the end.

Jacob clutched his phone and replied, "I understand, Uncle. Take care and go home early, okay?"

After hanging up the phone, he sat on the stairs. The hospital where Sara's mother was admitted was far away from here, so he could not see Sara. He could only stay where he was and look after his assistant.

He took out a cigarette and read the signage on the wall. Coincidentally, he happened to be in the smoking area of the hospital.

When the cigarette was lit, he took a puff on it. He then rested his hands on his knees and blew out a smoke ring.

Smoking helped him feel refreshed and relaxed. The more he smoked, the less energetic he felt. Perhaps things were meant to develop in the opposite direction when they became extreme.

Jacob took another puff. With a frown, he pondered about what he should do. For some reason, he felt that he had taken one wrong step.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
