Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 254

James was overwhelmed when he saw Jacob cry in the room. He had already guessed something. He knew his brother very well. This made him sad. Now his eyes were already a little wet.

If it were up to him, he might have also made the same decision. He knew this would be the last time so he had to stay there.

He would never have another chance to visit him again in the hospital.

The biggest decision a person had to make was rejection. Reject everything. Reject the world. His elder brother might not be rejecting, but he was absolutely bidding the world goodbye.

He and Sara both silently watched the scene in the room with such an indescribable feeling.

Jacob wiped his tears. He had to pretend that he was strong because he couldn't make his father worry. He comforted himself by thinking that pretending to be strong actually made him stronger. But before he could help it, tears were already shedding from his eyes.

The memories that he wanted to hide away in a box seemed to have come out altogether.

"Finally, I... I can... I can go to see your mother... After so many years... she must be lonely. So now... you should be happy that she and I... Finally... we are reunited again,"

Michael said with a smile on his face. He had waited and struggled for so many years. Fortunately, he was still not ready to give up. But now it was about to end considering his terrible condition.

"Dad..." Jacob sobbed, feeling sadder than ever before. If only he knew about his father's condition earlier, he would have spent more time taking care of him.

But now, he realized that it was too late to be a good son to him. He had always been losing. He thought that the progress in their lives was never ending, but now he realized that he was wrong.

Life is so unpredictable. Fortune and misfortune correlate with each other. Gains and losses may change in an instant and people in high positions now may lose everything later. He was dragged down to this situation even before he had the time to carefully look into it.

He had been passive, but he didn't understand. Why do people always encounter such struggles in a certain period of time? When would these misfortunes end?

Death is the end of life with other people mourning for you. The last thing Michael wanted was to see his family cry. Once they did, his heart was broken.

He also couldn't leave his only son Jacob. His wife had already passed away a long time ago, leaving him with their son as a fruit of their love. If it weren't for Jacob, he wouldn't have known how long he could hold on.

After all, the old man had already seen a lot of things. And the only thing he failed to see was the emotions and feelings which had resulted in many things. Now his heart was broken as he saw his son crying.

He wanted to leave with dignity. There were a lot of things in the world that couldn't be controlled. It no longer mattered whether he accepted it or not, if he loved or hate it, or whether he did or did not miss it, he didn't have enough time left.

Since he was already leaving, Michael had a long time to think. When his disease relapsed, he had already accepted that he would die the moment he had to go to the hospital.

He had made a lot of decisions in his life, but they were never as difficult as this. He wanted to travel with his son, but it seemed that it was already impossible. He wouldn't be able to see him get remarried and raise his own child. He also would no longer see him become a bigger and stronger businessman.
