Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 250

When he got up and went out, he met Jacob. This time, no blame had been put on Jacob.

He had always been Michael's pride. And not only that, Jacob did his best to make his father happy. He was more than willing to give up on his dreams.

According to him, dreams were nothing. He strived to become a good son. If anything, his actual dream was to accomplish his father's dream. And Michael's only dream was for his son to run his company well.

That's why Jacob worked so hard.

When his mother passed away, Michael had called him towards him.

"Are you sad to lose your mother?" his father had asked softly. Michael himself was on the verge of tears, but he tried to bring comfort to his son.

Jacob nodded and tears began to stream down his face. He lifted his head and saw his father had begun to cry as well. This memory was deeply ingrained in his memory. After all, this was the first time he had seen his father cry.

Perhaps his father had only cried once in his life. He took Jacob's mother's death quite badly.

"I'm as sad as you are. But from now on, we have to be strong, understand?" Michael turned around and wiped his tears quietly. It looked like he didn't want Jacob to know how hurt he was. Jacob stood still, listening to his father's words.

Michael went on, "So, no matter what happens in the future, try not to cry. You have to be strong. Can you do that?" Throughout this conversation, his voice was strong and gentle. Jacob's eyes were on his father, seeing how red his father's eyes had gotten.

Jacob wiped his father's tears and said, "Dad, stop crying. After all, you said we shouldn't cry."

Back then he was a child. But as he grew up, he often replayed this conversation, slowly understanding the pain his father had been in. In spite of that, he hadn't neglected Jacob. He came to comfort his son.

When Jacob made a mischievous mistake and everyone said that he was hopeless, his father had faith in him. It was his father's firmness that made Jacob who he was today.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have reached anywhere. Now he wondered if his father would stop being by his side in the future. Jacob couldn't imagine what would happen to him without his father.

He felt everything had been strange. Without his father, he would lose the sole support that he wanted in life. He working hard would seem to lose all meaning.

Without his father, his enthusiasm to work for the company would also wane. Perhaps he would choose a quiet place and live there with Sara.

So many thoughts began to spiral in his mind. He dismissed the thoughts that went in the direction of giving up. He wouldn't let his father's painstaking efforts to be in vain. He had to shoulder his father's responsibilities, no matter what.

'I won't give up!' he thought to himself.

"Uncle James, what are you going to do?" Jacob tilted his head and tried to be calm, but his hands were trembling. James had always lived with his father. He couldn't help but wonder what would become of him.

James didn't say anything for a few seconds. Instead, he looked at the door of the ward in a daze.

"Life and death are decreed by fate. We can do nothing." When James spoke, his voice was eerily calm. If someone else had said it, Jacob would punch him to the ground. But he loved James and coming from him, this answer sounded reasonable.

"What is fate?" Jacob was in a daze, and the pain in his heart only increased. No one could know the pain he was in right now. The loss of a loved one was much more painful than material loss.
