Chapter 1675
She’s been clueless about the whole thing since she came back
And now, out of the blue, it struck her. Was Wayne ever this sick?
“Erica should come and see him,” Wayne suddenly blurted out.
Rosalynn instinctively furrowed her brows, shooting a glance at Jacob.
“I’ll try to get a hold of her,” she sighed softly. “You men are all the same, never appreciating what you’ve got until it’s gone.”
Wayne stood there, looking like a kid who’s just been scolded.
Rosalynn firstly made a call to Orval Carter.
“Mrs. Silverman, have you all arrived safely? Orval seemed in high spirits.
With the recent gossip about his Uncle and Erica’s wedding, lots of people were badmouthing the Carter family behind their backs.
Though the Carters never gave a hoot about it.
But now, with Erica’s name cleared, Orval was over the moon!
“Yes, we have.” Rosalynn paused for a moment before cutting to the chase, “Orval, can you get in touch with your uncle?”
“What’s up?” Orval asked quizzically, “He didn’t bring any communication device when he left.”
“I’m at the hospital, Jacob’s condition is critical,” Rosalynn said gravely.
“What?!” From Orval’s end came a crash as he knocked something over in surprise. Don’t tell me, he’s trying to off himself because my uncle and Erica got married!”
“If only it were that simple,” Rosalynn said, massaging her temples. “Jacob might have given up hope. He collapsed at home and suddenly developed multiple organ failure. The doctors said he’s lost the will to live. He’s only being kept alive by machines.”
“Is this because he’s grieving too much and it’s harming his health?” Orval whispered. “But Mrs. Silverman, isn’t it a bit much to lay this at Erica’s door? We’re not cruel people, but I’ve recently found out about some of the things Jacob did to Enca. I’d only say he deserves all this, wouldn’t you? Why should Erica sacrifice her honeymoon with my uncle to go see him?”
“Whether Erica comes back or not, she needs to know about this, Rosalynn replied “She wouldn’t want Jacob to die because of her.”
Orval was silent for a moment on the other end
“Tll try and get in touch, I think I have their tour guide’s contact details,
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it.”
After hanging up, Rosalynn gave it some thought and sent Erică a message, briefly explaining the situation.
There was no response after she sent the message
Erica’s last Facebook post was a selfinkin in the Amazon before they left.
