Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 26

Nicole closed her eyes subconsciously.

However, the slap did not fall.

As she opened her eyes, she saw Jacob standing in front of her, with one arm up. He was catching Austin's wrist.

"It's you again!" Austin recognized the man immediately. He was the one threw a check on him. Then Austin's eyes were filled with envy soon.

"Stay away from my girl." Jacob said without any emotion and shook off Austin's hand

"Your girl?" Glancing at Nicole and Jacob skeptically, Austin said with a sly face, "Nicole, is he your new customer?"

It was really harsh and said quite loudly. A few passers-by heard it and looked at them curiously.

It was not the first time that Austin had insulted Nicole like this. She had been used to it and didn't even change the expression on her face.

However, Jacob was not used to it, and he frowned.

Everybody who knew Jacob well understood that he was almost irritated when this expression appeared.

But Austin didn't know. He thought his words were working and this man was getting angry with Nicole. So he continued malicious words, "What after all you like her of? ……"

Before Austin could finish his sentence, he was knocked to the ground by a punch from Jacob.

Although Jacob was wearing a suit and seemed never fight with anyone. But back then, he used to be the boss in the middle school only because he had defeated other students. He was strong and skilled enough to hit Austin hard and made Austin dizzy.

"Bah!"

Giving up dignity, Austin spat out a mouthful of blood and got up, smashing his fist toward Jacob.

However, before he could land his fist on Jacob, he was caught by Jacob's single hand. Jacob pulled Austin back and then gave him a punch again!

Jacob put forth all his strength this time. Austin lay on the ground with blood oozing from his mouth.

There were some people surrounding, who were afraid that they might be hurt in the fight, so they stood far away. However, the gossip was still heard and spread away.

Nicole came back from the shock when she noticed someone else. She grabbed Jacob's arm and stopped him hitting Austin, said in a low voice, "Jacob, stop it. It's enough."

Jacob shook his wrist, looked down at Austin who was struggling to sit up and said, "if I hear that you talk nonsense once again, I'll make you unable to speak. You can have a try if you don't believe me."

"Go, go." Nicole held Jacob's hand and left quickly.

Austin stood up slowly and spat out a mouthful of blood towards where Jacob leaving, with anger in her eyes.

Nicole didn't let go of Jacob until she dragged him into the staircase of the inpatient department. She looked at him and wanted to say something, but finally she said nothing, but turned around and went upstairs.

"Hey!" Jacob shouted at Nicole's back.

Nicole stopped but not turned around, waiting for Jacob to speak.

"What do you mean? Are you feeling sorry for him when I hit him?"

"I am not."
