Chapter 329
CJacob secretly felt joy in unintentionally hitting a painful spot for someone.
In the past, he wouldn’t dare to speak such words to Adrian. He would have been frozen by just one glance from him, and Mr. Blackwood wouldn’t tolerate such behavior either.
But now the situation was different. After Ms. Hansen and the two kids appeared, Mr. Blackwood’s temper had clearly improved.
Though Mr. Blackwood tells him to get lost when he was teasing him, it only seems like he’s angry on the surface, but actually he’s not, just like earlier.
After Adrian heard his words and told him to get lost, his expression returned to normal within a few seconds, even urging him, “Go handle your tasks, do them well, and buy some things that the kids will want while you’re at it.” So, Jacob went downstairs.
As he was leaving, he brushed past John and exchanged a glance with him.
Now thinking about it, Jacob couldn’t help scratching his head. Why is John here too?
What exactly happened tonight?
When he finished buying everything and returned, he would definitely ask for a clear explanation.
Jacob drove out and purposely went to a nearby children’s playground, where he bought many things before returning to the hospital.
In the distance, Adrian saw Jacob holding two bags in his hand and immediately approached him.
“What did you buy p>
Jacob opened his mouth, about to explain what was inside the bags, but Adrian interrupted him and took them away.
“Never mind, give them to me. I’ll just take them in p>
Jacob finally noticed Adrian’s urgent actions and expression, clearly indicating his impatience.
Well, it’s understandable. His wife and children are in the hospital room, but he can’t go inside. He can only wait outside. Who wouldn’t be anxious?
After receiving the items, Adrian quickly walked towards the door of the hospital room, wanting to go in.
Just as he was about to push the door open, he suddenly paused as if he remembered something, and then knocked on the door.
Ms. Hansen is probably still unconscious, right?
Who is Mr. Blackwood knocking the door for now?
Could it be for the two children?
At that moment, a voice came from inside.
“Come in p>
Jacob immediately recognized it as Ruby’s voice and felt a bit embarrassed for his boss.
With Ruby’s permission, Adrian pushed the door open and entered.
Jacob approached, wanting to see the situation inside, but before he could get close, the door of the hospital room slammed shut.
Jacob touched his nose and awkwardly retreated to a chair in the corridor.
Just as he sat down, John, who was sitting quietly beside him, reached forward to greet him.
John handed him a cigarette.
Jacob glanced at it but didn’t take it. “No thank you, Sir, I don’t smoke p>
Upon hearing this, John glanced at him nonchalantly, then calmly put away the cigarette. When Jacob took a closer look, he realized that only one cigarette had been taken out, and the box seemed to have just been opened. Could it be that he doesn’t smoke either?
“Can we talk p>
Since the offered cigarette was declined, John didn’t know whether he really didn’t smoke or didn’t want to. So, he decided to be straightforward.
Hearing this, Jacob pursed his lips and said, “What do you want to talk about p>
John glanced in the direction of the hospital room.
“When did you find out p>
Jacob immediately understood his question, pursed his lips, and hesitated on how to respond.
“I remember at the last auction, Adrian seemed to have brought Vivian with him p>
Bringing up the matter, Jacob quickly explained, “He did bring her, but it was Mr. Blackwood’s mother’s order, and Miss Morrison had something to auction, so they attended together p>
“So?” John squinted slightly, “When did he bump into Eva? And when did Eva return? Are both of those children his p>
Jacob replied, “Well, what other explanation could there be? Just by looking at the resemblance of those two children, it’s obvious they are Mr. Blackwood’s p>
Upon hearing this, John chuckled softly, “True, they do bear a striking resemblance p>
“Okay p>
The facial features perfectly resembled Adrian’s, with Eva’s mannerisms between the eyebrows and eyes. There was no need for a DNA test, anyone could tell just by looking at them. Jacob glanced at him, probably emboldened by Adrian’s recent indulgence.
“Why are you here tonight?” Jacob had initially planned to ask about the events leading up to this, but since he guessed Adrian wouldn’t be coming out of the room anytime soon, he shifted his attention to John. If John wanted to talk to him, then he could do the same.
So, before John could answer his question, Jacob quickly raised a second one.
“What happened to Ms. Hansen? Everything was fine before tonight, wasn’t it p>
“Mhm.” John nodded. “She was fine when we went to see her. It was all an accident.” “You guys p>
“Me, Jason, and Vivian p>
Hearing Vivian’s name, Jacob almost jumped up.
“What? Miss Morrison came too? How did Ms. Hansen get injured? Did Miss Morrison do something to her p>
Upon hearing this, John gave him a dumbfounded look.
“What are you thinking? Even if Vivian isn’t the most intelligent person, she wouldn’t do something so foolish p>
“Yeah.” After calming down, Jacob realized that Vivian couldn’t have been responsible for it.
“Jason did it, but… it was all accidental p>
Upon hearing that it was Jason, Jacob was rendered speechless and burst into laughter in front of John.
“Who would’ve thought it was him? So, it was Jason? Has he gone crazy? He likes Miss Morrison, fine, but is it necessary to harm Ms. Hansen p>
At this point, Jacob’s heart had completely sided with Eva, and he spoke primarily in her favor.
John discreetly gave him a glance.
Jacob only joined Adrian after Eva left the company, so before that, he had no relationship with her at all.
But judging from his tone now, it seemed like he was completely on Eva’s side.
It looked like a lot had happened during this period that he was unaware of.
It was surprising that even after all these years, Eva still had such a powerful ability to win people over.
John instinctively reached for a cigarette, but when his hand was halfway, he remembered that he had already quit.
