Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 396

'What is terrible is not death, but living without him.' Thinking of this, Sara was much more relieved.

When the door of the elevator finally opened, many people lit up the scene in the elevator with flashlights.

Jacob was holding Sara tightly in his arms. Sara seemed to be greatly frightened and opened her eyes to see everything in front of her.

'Thank God we are still alive!' Ignoring the crowd that surrounded them, Jacob picked Sara up and walked out of the elevator.

Then, Jacob turned around and addressed them.

"My wife is frightened, and she needs to rest. Please give us some time to recuperate. I will talk to you more about this accident later."

With those words, Jacob held Sara even tighter and walked away without looking back. Bystanders and some of the staff looked at them as they left, visibly stunned by what had just happened.

Jacob looked down at Sara, who was still trembling in his arms, and said softly, "Don't be scared. Everything's fine now."

Sara nodded. At that moment, Jacob looked like an angel. His handsome features were even more accentuated in this light.

In her eyes, he was like a hero.

"Alright, then. I'm going to take you home now." Jacob was speechless as he looked at the floor they were in. Fortunately, they didn't have that many floors to go.

Jacob decided that once he carried Sara upstairs, he would go back down to the scene of the accident. They finally reached her apartment, and he settled her down on the couch. However, when Jacob turned to leave, Sara reached out for his hand and stopped him.

"Don't leave me, Jacob. I'm scared." Sara curled up on the sofa in the living room. Her father seemed to be in his bedroom.

"It's alright. I'll be back soon." Jacob frowned and looked at Sara worriedly.

Sara looked extremely distraught, and he didn't have the heart to leave her alone. He knew she needed him. However, there were some things he had to deal with personally.

He needed to address the staff and talk to them about elevator safety. He didn't want other people to go through the same ordeal he and Sara just did. After all, it was a matter of life and death.

Jacob's slender legs drew an arc in the air. Then, he stood up straight and tall.

He began to walk out the door, looking back from time to time. He dreaded leaving Sara, especially since she was in such a fragile state.

When Sara was finally out of sight, Jacob quickly went down to explain what had happened. He warned the staff that if such a situation happened again, he would hold the developer accountable.

What had been a very good trip for the both of them had ended in an elevator accident. Jacob returned home anxious and with a heavy heart.

Although he and Sara had been together for a long time, that was the first near-death experience they encountered together.

Jacob pushed the door open nervously. He looked for Sara and saw that she still curled up on the couch. Her back was turned to him, so he couldn't see her expression.

When Sara heard the door open, she immediately looked at it. She instantly locked eyes with Jacob, and he saw that her eyes were watery.

Jacob looked at her nervously. "I'm back, Sara. I just briefed the staff about elevator safety, so they know what to do in the future."

Nodding, Sara sat up and reclined on the sofa. Jacob quickly walked over and sat next to her, putting his arm around her shoulder.

"How are you feeling? Are you still scared?" Jacob asked, his voice full of concern.

Sara shook her head. "Please don't tell my father about it. Let it stay in the past. I don't want him to worry about me."

Sara glanced in the direction of her father's bedroom.

The door was closed. She didn't know what Carlos was doing.

Carlos, on the other hand, was trying to listen in on their conversation from the other side of the door. 'Something seems to have happened, ' he thought.
