Chapter 45 - Meeting the In-laws

"Ah.... he's in the operation so he cannot answer your call right now Madam Kelly." James knows that he is done right now if he can't avoid Madam Kelly's questioning.

"I know you knew something so speak now or I'll cut you off from your position!!" Madam Kelly is now losing her temper.

James was left with no choice. His position is immensely important to him. He can't get to the bad side of Madam Kelly. It is where Jacob got his bad temper.

"M-madam... he moved in an apartment across Camilla Lopez Parker Hospital. I-it's the Jade apartment, 5th-floor unit 8." after James said that Madam Kelly hanged up the phone.

James rushed over to the Department of Surgery. He is done. While Madam Kelly called her husband and told him to meet her up in Jade's apartment. Her mother's instinct tells her that Jacob is not living in that apartment alone.

James hurriedly rushed to the Department of Surgery. He saw Jacob in the nurse's station chatting and laughing. You can still laugh all you can now but later you're dead. James thought to himself.

He approached him and muttered some words in his ear. He saw his smile turned into worry and his face turned pale. When Jacob heard what James said he hurriedly rushed out of the hospital.

....

"Why did you want me to meet me here?" Chairman John Parker asked his wife when he reached the lobby of Jade's apartment.

"Earlier I found out that your son moved in here. And I am sure he didn't move alone. Last time he was with someone in Lantana Province. That kid, he is married and yet here he is playing around!" Madam Kelly was fuming in anger.

Chairman John Parker sighed and said, "Come now. Don't jump into conclusions until we've talked to Jacob."

"I can't wait. Let's wait for him in his apartment." Madam Kelly said that while walking towards the elevator.

Chairman John Parker scratch his head while following his wife.

J was still in a deep slumber when she heard the continuous ringing of the doorbell. At first, she ignored it but then Beauty and Beast keep on barking so she pulled herself out of the bed to see who dared to disturb her sleep.

She looked at the peephole and saw a man and woman in their fifties. She opened the door and asked, "How can I help you, sir, ma'am" in a sleepy tone.

"W-who are you? What are you doing in my son's apartment? Madam Kelley asked J while looking at her from head to toe.

J looked at them with bewilderment. "Excuse me, Madam. But this is my apartment."

While still standing in the doorway Beauty and Beast came beside J wagging their tails at the visitor. J seemed to notice that the two golden retrievers knew these people.

"That's Beauty and Beast, my son's pets. Are you still going to insist that this is your apartment and not my son's?" Madam Kelly looked at J with slight disgust.

J let out a big sigh. So, it turns out that these people are Jacob's parents. Urgh... what a headache. She composed herself, widened the door and said, "Please come in."

The two elders sit on the sofa while J sits on the accent chair.

"Let's wait for Jacob first." Chairman John Parker speaks first.

J who was sitting on the accent chair looked at the wall clock. It is almost eleven in the morning. She arrived home at nine-thirty so she probably just been asleep for like an hour only. Urgh... how can people be so cruel.
