Chapter 40 - Who won the girl's heart?

Nana considered in a while then said "Could you stay here until dinner? And buy me a cake for dessert?"

Jacob was astonished at this little girl's condition but later on, said "Sure!"

J saw how Jacob consoled Nana. He is really good at persuading girls. No wonder he can get any girl he likes. Then she saw Nana running towards her.

"Miss J! Jacob said he is going to stay until dinner and will buy me a cake!" Nana excitedly runs towards her while expressing her good news when she suddenly stumbled upon and fell on her knees.

J and Jacob who saw the incident hurriedly runs toward Nana who is now crying. J lifted Nana and take her on a bench nearby. Jacob followed them. Soon other kids gathered around them. J instructed a girl named Suzy to get the medicine kit.

"Hey, Nana. Don't worry, it' just a scratch. You know Miss J is a nurse and I am a doctor. We will treat your wound well." J widened in shocked as she looked at Jacob angrily. Other kids looked at Jacob then looked at Nana who cried louder.

"What? What did I do?" Jacob looked at them confusedly.

One of the kids said, "Nana is scared of doctors."

"What?! Nana, sweetheart do I look scary?" Jacob looked at Nana feeling helpless.

"Jenny Do what have you been telling these kids about doctors? Huh?" he looked at J and the kids as if they were having a conspiracy against him.

"Hey, sweetheart look at me. Doctors are not scary ok? We don't mean harm to you. Who keeps you safe from pain, from sickness? Aren't we, doctors? Even if we are holding syringes and scalpels that doesn't mean we wanted to hurt you, we just used them to keep you healthy and alive." as Jacob was saying that he grabs the medicine kit from J and started cleaning Nana's wound.

"See? It'll hurt for a couple of hours or days but it will heal. I'll blow it for you to lessen the pain. How was it, sweetheart? Feeling better?" Other girls around them giggled as Jacob looked more handsome while persuading Nana. Nana who now stopped crying nod her head.

J shuddered as Jacob keeps on calling Nana sweetheart. Hmph! This guy has a naturally sweet tongue that can persuade any girl.

While Jacob is squatting in front of Nana, he grabs his phone and made a call. "James, could you order me a cake and have it delivered here? I'll send you my location? Flavor? Wait..." Jacob turned to ask Nana. "Hey sweetheart, what kind of cake do you want?"

Nana immediately said, "I want a chocolate cake!" then other kids turn to Jacob and said, "Can I have one too?"

"Me too."

"Yes, me too!"

"Oh oh.. Okay, hold on." Jacob chuckled then talk back to the phone. "James just order all the kinds of cake they have and have it delivered here as soon as possible."

"Copy that." James hanged up. He wondered who did he called sweetheart and why did he hear voices of kids. Where could he be?

J could not believe it. Jacob did not just persuade the girls but he was also able to persuade all the kids in the orphanage.

Soon it was time for dinner. The cake that Jacob ordered also arrived. And the kids celebrated as they were not able to eat cakes if there isn't any occasion.

Jacob was sitting in the table provided for the boys while J is sitting with the girls.
