Chapter 82 - Jacob’s heart ache

The patient was already sent to the morgue. He died due to massive blood loss and inadequate oxygen.

Sadness clouded J's features. It was the first time that her patient died. Now she was having complex emotions. Although she had expected that the patient might not make it, she didn't expect him to die in the operating table in front of her. She and Dr. Aaron tried hard to revive the patient but they failed.

J is an exceptionally talented nurse. Doctors have high regards towards her. This is due to her experience and boldness to accept even the most complicated cases and surgeons as well which other nurses would hesitate to take.

But what she hasn't experienced yet is the death of her patient. In the past, her patients and supposed patients with a risky and dangerous case would die before or after the operation takes place but not during the operation.

While outside the hospital Jacob's black SUV was parked with James getting out of it.

"Aren't you going to drop by?" James said knowing that J is still inside.

Jacob shakes his head because he prefers to wait for her at home then said, "Don't forget to give Aaron those documents. He's waiting for them." and with that, he waved James goodbye and drive towards Jade's Apartment.

When James arrived at the surgical department, he felt awkward. Everyone has a gloomy eye including Dr. Aaron.

"Did someone die?" it was a joke on James part.

What James didn't think is that his joke turned out to be the real case. He immediately apologized to Dr. Aaron and the rest of the nurses in the station. Mortality is a rare case in the surgical department of Camila Lopez Parker Hospital. So, he felt sympathetic towards them.

But looking around, he noticed that Nurse J is nowhere. He turned to ask Dr. Aaron. "I thought Nurse J is on duty? Isn't she?"

Dr. Aaron let out a depressing sigh before he said, "Among us, she is the most affected. I've done all I can to comfort her but it didn't work. She is still inside the theater."

James immediately excused himself then made a call.

When finally, Jacob answered his call he said, "I think you need to come over..."

And just as a speed of light Jacob reached the hospital. He hurriedly rushed towards the surgical department where James is waiting for him.

When he entered James immediately come to him without the others noticing and said, "She's in theater one. I'll help you cover."

J has been trying to hold back her tears because she thought that she is not supposed to be affected but she felt a tightening of her heart as if someone is holding a tight grip on it and she could barely breathe normally.

When suddenly the door burst open, she looked at the direction of the door and saw Jacob with his apprehensive look.

Jacob scanned the whole room until his eyes met J's eyes. The look on J's eyes is heartbreaking. He felt his heart quiver looking at the state that J is in.

Jacob slowly walked towards her direction then he squatted down in front of her.

The tears that J has been fighting back now flooded her eyes as if all the emotions that she is keeping inside her burst out at the sight of Jacob. Suddenly she pounced her body towards Jacob and wrapped her arms around his neck. In Jacob's arms, she broke down and sobbed like a child.
