According to the laws of Dorland, kidnapping and murder were punishable by the death penalty.
Amos left after reporting the matter.
Blair did not go to work as it was the weekend. Mable wanted to avoid seeing him at home, so she went to the hospital after breakfast.
Jacob’s condition had stabilized. He could start rehab after another week of observation.
When Mable went to the ward to see him, Hannah happened to be there too.
As the two quarreled, the atmosphere in the ward was slightly awkward.
“Dr. Jefferson, you’re here.”
Compared to last time, Hannah’s attitude toward Mable was much better.
Mable nodded and asked Jacob, “How do you feel today?”
“Not bad.”
Mable gave him a checkup and talked to him about some things he would be doing during rehab at a later stage.

“Okay. Thank you, Dr. Jefferson.”
Hannah took her phone and went forward. “Dr. Jefferson, can I add you on WhatsApp? It’s so I can ask you for advice if Jacob has any problems with his rehab.”
Mable thought about it and did not refuse. She took out her phone and added her on WhatsApp.
“Thank you, Dr. Jefferson.”
“You’re welcome.”
Mable left after checking on Jacob.
Hannah looked at the cold Jacob and pouted. “Later today, I’ll contact the place Dr. Jefferson mentioned and make an appointment. Then—”
Jacob coldly interrupted her. “Hannah, you don’t need to worry about me. Do what you need to do, and don’t come tomorrow.”
Hannah sat by the edge of the bed and crossed her arms. “I’m not busy. I just want to take care of you!”
“You…”
