Sweet Sorrow

The second day, Nicole woke up in the afternoon. Although her head was still heavy, she was in a better mental state.
"Are you awake? Get up and eat something. " Jacob's voice rang in the room.
Nicole sat up with her hand on her forehead, staring at Jacob, and began to recall what had happened on the night before.
She remembered that she was having porridge with Jacob at that moment. After that, she really wanted to sleep. Afterwards, she
couldn't remember anything.
"Why did I suddenly fall asleep?" Nicole yawned and said helplessly.
Hearing that Nicole doubted what had happened last night, Jacob immediately said, "you have insisted too long and haven't
eaten enough. Last night, you ate porridge to warm your stomach, so you are too sleepy."
Nicole didn't doubt his answer. She let out a plaintive sigh, lifted the quilt and was about to get up. Suddenly, she remembered
what Jacob had said before she fell into sleep.
"Did you say last night that..." Nicole was in a daze, so she was not sure if her memory was wrong.
Jacob didn't deny it. Before Nicole finished her words, he nodded and said, "yes."
Nicole collapsed on the bed, not knowing how to react.
"Come here and eat something." Jacob called again.
Nicole got up in a hurry, went into the bathroom and washed herself before sitting next to Jacob.
There was a pile of food on the table, which was put in an incubator. Sitting aside, Jacob was holding a stack of documents in his
hands.
"Go Ahead." Jacob only said two words, which sounded like an order at first glance.
Nicole peeked at Jacob, the she opened the lunch box and took a small bite. While eating, she was thinking about what Jacob
had said last night.
Was that true? How could Albertan, who was so reluctant, agree to her marriage with Jacob?
"Don't look at me. Focus on your meal."

Nicole, who peeked at Jacob from time to time, was exposed and lowered her head shyly.
After she finished eating, Jacob spoke again. "I have called the hospital. your mother is fine. Don't worry."
Surprised, Nicole asked, "you called my mother?"
"to Jim." Jacob rolled his eyes at Nicole, as if to show that he was not that brainless.
Nicole felt a little relieved. She knew that Jim would take good care of her mother. Now that Jacob said he didn't need to worry
about her mother, her mother should be fine. Then she came back to what Jacob had said.
"You Why did your mother agree? " As she couldn't wait for Jacob's explanation but Nicole couldn't guess, she had to ask.
"Because she cares about me," Jacob said with a faint smile as he looked at Nicole
"What?"
"Don't you understand?"
Nicole shook her head.
Jacob put down the file, looked into Nicole's eyes and said seriously, "I begged her, and she agreed."
Although what he said was true, Jacob deliberately avoided the details of kneeling down and begging.
Nicole still couldn't believe it, but seeing the confident expression on Jacob's face, she could only nod reluctantly. "Then Good. "
"What?" Jacob was confused, "What do you mean? Just good?"
Under Jacob's oppressive gaze, Nicole stammered, "isn't it good that your mother agrees I... I don't know how to tell my mother. "
"Let's talk about it when she calms down." Although Jacob really wanted to be recognized by Judy, it was not a good time now.
Some things and some people had to take their time.
Nicole fell into silence. She didn't know how to tell Jacob that she couldn't talk with her mother at all. Her mother didn't even want
to talk to her.
She didn't know how to develop her relationship with Jacob if this situation continued.

She did love Jacob, more than her own life. However, she couldn't do anything regardless of her mother as her mother had
gone. She couldn't make her mother angry.
The two sat in silence for a while. Nicole stood up and said, "I'm going back to the hospital. You can also do your business."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"...... No. ". Nicole turned her head and looked away from Jacob's eyes. She said indifferently, "thinking of my mother's illness, I
feel a little uncomfortable."
Jacob narrowed his eyes and reached out to grab Nicole's wrist. He pulled Nicole into his arms and held her tightly.
"She will be fine. Don't worry." As if afraid that Nicole would not believe him, Jacob added, "I'll hire the best doctor and expert for
her. I'm sure she can live a happy life."
If it was in the past, Nicole might not believe it. But she had accompanied her mother to the hospital for an operation, and knew
the importance of doctors' medical skills to patients.
"Thank you." Nicole hugged Jacob back, not only because he treated her so well, but also because he loved her mother so
much.
"Silly girl." Jacob kissed on Nicole's head and laughed.
This time, Nicole didn't refute, but laughed with Jacob together.
"Why are you so silly?" Jacob sighed, "if you meet some bad guys, you will be sold and pay for the number of people."
Nicole raised her head and asked Jacob, "are you a bad guy?"
Jacob pressed his lips and said, "I don't think I am a good man." As soon as he finished, he added, "but I won't be bad to you."
"You Such idiot..."
After the two of them flirted with each other for a while, Jacob sent Nicole back to the hospital. Although he didn't want to leave
Nicole, and he really wanted to hold Nicole all the time and kiss her, he knew that it was not appropriate at this moment.

Moreover, since he and Nicole had known each other and were trying to overcome the obstacles together, it was just a matter of
time for them to be intimate.
After a good sleep and good news, Nicole was refreshed.
"Sister, you are back." Seeing Nicole, Jim greeted her obediently and stuck out his tongue.
"Well, how is mom? Is everything okay? "
"Mom is fine. She just finished infusion and is sleeping now."
Hearing this, Nicole nodded, gently pushed the door open and walked in.
Jim, who was standing outside, was still confused. He had thought that his sister would scold him because he had helped Jacob
lie to her last night.
He didn't expect that his sister not only didn't mention a word, but also seemed to have a good sleep. Was she very happy?
At the same time, Jim admired Jacob more. It was amazing that Jacob made his stubborn sister sleep happily!
Jacob, who was reading files in his car, suddenly sneezed.
