Jacob would never allow anyone around him to leave him for such a reason. In the past, he didn't pay much attention to people around. Now, he had understood the importance of them.
"Don't worry. I will hire a few more people in two days. If you are not satisfied, I can change another person. Sara will be back soon. " Jacob squinted his eyes, expecting the hostess of this home to come back.
Obviously, Winnie was a little excited. When she heard the name of Sara, she seemed to hear the name of her family member. "When will Mrs. Sara come back, Mr. Jacob?"
Jacob shook his head. Deep inside, he was also asking the same question, but no one could make a decision on this matter. "I don't know. But I'll get her back as soon as possible. Don't worry, Winnie. We would have babies after she came back. So you can't leave us. You have to take care of our babies for us. Those kids are like your grandchildren. They will call you grandma after growing up. "
Hearing this, Winnie was a little excited. "Well, I'll have a good rest and wait for my grandson."
Jacob then went out with relief. After the family doctor came, he gave Winnie an intravenous drip, prescribed medicine, and then left. Jacob sat beside Winnie's bed. He didn't leave until Winnie fell asleep.
Jacob had never thought that the person who seemed would be always with him would actually make a request to leave. He shook his head and wondered what on earth was wrong.
Jacob went upstairs tiredly and took off his cotton slippers. He put on a sandal and went to have a shower.
Even if taking a shower in winter was painful, it could always make people feel more conscience.
Jacob closed his eyes, and the water from the shower head sprayed on his face. The cold air was blown away and wrapped by hot water. He felt better, but his heart was more empty and lonely.
What was the thing that a man pursued all his life? It could be a gift of great honor, an inexhaustible amount of money, or a lover that was hard to part with for a lifetime. He couldn't tell. Maybe all of these were worth pursuing. Maybe none of these were worth pursuing.
Jacob felt the warm water sliding across his face. Perhaps love was like taking a shower. Sometimes it just made you feel warm, and when you lost it, it became freezing cold.
He put on the bathrobe and lay on the bed. Now Jacob was used to reading Abnormal Psychology every day. Since he didn't have Sara with her, Jacob had lived like her.
Many details that he didn't pay attention to before suddenly flashed through his mind like a movie. Jacob remembered many of Sara's habits, such as taking an umbrella whenever she went out, drinking tea with no leaves in it, reading before sleep, drinking half a bowl of soup before having meals. Too many details were engraved in his mind.
Bored, Jacob threw the book aside. Jacob didn't notice how he became so sentimental after she left.
He was as sentimental as a broken up girl, forgetting about how to live a normal life. He didn't want others to know his situation, but he always knew how painful he was in his heart.
Jacob turned off the light and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. It was common for him to suffer from insomnia. Without Sara, his life was a mess.
For many times, Jacob couldn't help but want to dial the number of Sara, but He had never dialed it no matter how decided he was. People were unpredictable. Jacob was not afraid of refusal, but was afraid that a call would totally destroy their relationship. To put it bluntly, he didn't dare to face it. Even a confident people like Jacob sometimes felt diffident.
People were in high spirits when involved in happy events. The stuff, Lily was influenced by the smile on Alice's face. Lily, who was usually jittering before Alice, boldly walked behind Alice and asked, "What's happened today? You seems so happy. I saw you smiling from the moment you entered. "
Alice turned to look at Lily's smiling face and said kindly, "I'm happy today. You can get off work early. You may go to have a good meal or date with your boyfriend. "
Lily's face was full of surprise. It was the first time that Alice allowed the stuffs to get off work early. They used to work until 10 o'clock in the evening. "Thank you, Alice. You're so beautiful today."
Hearing Lily's compliment, Alice felt comfortable although she know it might not be true. She couldn't wait to ask Jacob to pick her up. Once people had earnest expectations, they would keep thinking about it. Alice was no exception. She just kept fantasizing and didn't want to do anything else.
What was Alice doing last year when it was snowing? To be honest, her impression of going abroad for 4 years was very vague. It was more like she had forgotten it on purpose. After all, the fact that she had confessed her love to Noah on impulse was like a stain in her life that could not be washed away.
Sometimes, she even doubted whether it was because of the fact that Noah had told Jacob about it that had such an impact on her life.
Once someone was unfortunate, he could always find many reasons behind it. Alice wasn't really blaming Noah. What made her heart ache was that she was not even a good friend of him now.
There were countless things that Noah had been good to her in college. At that time, she had an illusion that he really loved her. But Alice didn't expect that there would be really someone in this world who treated his friend's wife so well but had no other intentions.
