His short words instantly dissipated the ambiguous atmosphere in the car.
"Are you really..."
Suddenly, Nicole's phone rang before she spoke.
She pushed Jacob aside and took her phone out of her bag.
It was from her mother.
From the corner of his eye, Jacob saw the caller ID and released Nicole.
"Mom."
"Sis, where are you now?"
It was Jim, Nicole's brother.
"I... I just took Mom's prescription. I'm about to go back. What's wrong? What happened? "
"Mom passed out while cooking. I have just called an ambulance. It hasn't come yet. I don't know what to do. I dare not touch her. I..."
Jim was too anxious to make a complete word.
"What? Do you mean that mother fainted? "
Nicole's face became pale in an instant, and her hand, holding the phone, began to tremble.
"Don't move. I'll be back soon. Don't cry, Jim. I'll be right back. You call the ambulance and see where the ambulance is."
Nicole hurried to open the car door after hanging up.
But she was stopped by Jacob.
Nicole was burning with anxiety. Her mother was still in a coma at home. Then she turned around and shouted at Jacob, "let go of me!"
Jacob furrowed his eyebrows and let go of her.
Nicole glared at Jacob and got out of the car.
It was almost noon, and there were many cars on the road, but none of them was empty.
Nicole burst into tears.
She was afraid that something bad would happen to her mother.
Her father had suddenly left her. She could no longer bear such a blow.
Staring at the woman weeping not far away, Jacob frowned.
He heard it clearly on the phone. Nicole's mother was in trouble. At that time, his first reaction was to catch Nicole. In fact, he wanted to say that he would drive her.
He was worrying about her.
This recognition made Jacob extremely angry but helpless.
He repeatedly told himself that he couldn't be fooled by Nicole, but at the crucial moment, he subconsciously wanted to help her.
It was terrible to learn the power of habit.
Seeing Nicole was anxious to stop a car, Jacob could do nothing but watch her. She was almost killed by the car because she rushed too fast.
Finally, he sighed and gave a hint to the driver to drive over.
The car slid silently in front of Nicole. The window was rolled down. Jacob said indifferently.
"Get in the car. I'll drive you home."
Nicole was stunned for two seconds. Then she gritted her teeth, opened the door and got in the car.
After telling him the address, Nicole didn't say anything in the car.
Nicole pinched her palms helplessly and begged in low voice for everything.
Jacob was upset by her words, but he didn't stop her.
The driver drove very fast. When they arrived at the downstairs of Nicole's house, Nicole's mother was just being carried into the ambulance.
Nicole watched her brother get in the ambulance and the ambulance drove away.
"Follow the ambulance."
Jacob said abruptly.
"Yes, sir."
The ambulance and Jacob's car arrived at the hospital one by one. Before the car stopped steadily, Nicole opened the door and rushed out.
"Mom, mom, are you all right?"
