Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 310

"Yes, I was just as surprised to see that he was a director! Anyway, it's hard to tell whether those people are related or not just yet. And besides, Cindy has been weakened after what happened. I just want things to become normal again, Uncle James,"

Jacob said with a heavy heart.

"Yes, don't think too much about it. By the way, what's Cindy's plan going to be?" James asked, narrowing his eyes. He wondered whether Cindy regretted jumping into the river.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling that this issue had been a big blow for her. She told me that she was going to resign her job." Jacob sighed as he took the box of packed food from the waiter.

After giving the waiter his credit card, he turned his attention to his phone call.

"Well, the company is in need of employees at the moment, and Cindy is good. It's better if we persuade her to stay. Don't waste your time finding someone else, when you already have someone who cares."

Saying that, James let out a cough.

He knew that it was easier said than done. However, he realized that he couldn't achieve anything by forcing others to do something that they did not want to do.

"I know, Uncle James, and my intentions are the same as yours, but it is not up to me to make the decision. We'll just have to wait and see what happens," Jacob replied and took his credit card back from the waiter.

"You go take care of Cindy, and I will handle the company's affairs in the meantime. Don't worry, I won't be merciful in my judgment." James' expression softened as he smiled.

"I know, Uncle, but I want you to take care of yourself, too. And don't exert yourself," Jacob said in a gentle tone before he disconnected the call.

With the box of take-away food in his hand, he went to the hospital to visit Cindy and saw that she was lying on the bed with a blank expression.

Hearing Jacob's cough she immediately sat up in her bed.

"Mr. Jacob, you're back already?" Cindy asked, forcing a smile as she tried to sit up, but could not.

"Yes, I have returned. Are you hungry? It took me a while to get you some food." Saying that, Jacob placed the box of food on the table before he took a breakfast table and laid it on the bed for Cindy.

"It's fine, I am not hungry," Cindy replied with a smile.

She had always thought Jacob to be a very strict person, but she did not expect him to be so kind to her, even though she had made a terrible mistake.

Thinking of that, she felt too ashamed to even talk to him. Tears welled up in her eyes as she wondered if she could start over again. But was that even possible?

"Come and take a look... I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought everything. If you don't like any of the food here, then I could go and get you whatever you like," Jacob said with a gentle smile as he placed the box of food in front of her. Everything looked so decent and delicious.

"No, Mr. Jacob, this is more than what I could hope for. Thank you. Please, sit down and rest for a while." As she said those words, a bitter smile appeared on Cindy's lips.

"Well, I learned about everything that happened, and I am assuring you that you have nothing to worry about," Jacob comforted her softly as he opened the lid of the last box.

"Well, I promise that I will be responsible to the very end. Whether it is legal or financial matters, I will take responsibility. You can count on me," Cindy said with determination and decided that it was her duty to be responsible for as long as she lived.

"All right... I know, Cindy, so please don't worry about it. Let's eat, okay? Please don't think too much about it now. Happiness is the most important thing that we need for us to survive in this cruel world. Only when we are happy, we can prove our true potential," Jacob said softly and started to eat.
