Chapter 83 - My Reality

Jacob's heart aches for J, he tightened his embrace as he rubs J's head to comfort her. He let her cry her heart out until she feels better.

Jacob saw the door opened and revealed Dr. Aaron.

Dr. Aaron saw his friend, the CEO hugging the crying Nurse J, his eyes widened in shock but later on replaced with confusion.

Jacob looked at him and gestured him to keep quiet. Understanding what the CEO meant, he walked out of the theater and closed the door.

J continued crying in Jacob's shoulder until it gradually subsided.

Jacob felt that J's hug loosened. He cupped her face with both his hands as he wipes her tears with his thumb.

"Let's get you home," Jacob said in a gentle tone.

J looked at his eyes before she nods her head.

Soon the two of them walked out of the theater with Jacob holding J's hand.

Since she was a child, she only showed her weakness to her grandfather. When her grandfather died, she also lost a shoulder to cry on. She never showed her weakness to anyone since then, not even to Lance or Diana. Until she broke down in front of Jacob.

She discovered that she cannot keep acting strongly in front of Jacob. No matter how hard she conceals it, her weakness will show in front of him.

She felt weak knowing that she wasn't able to prolong that person's life. After this event, she realized that not being able to do anything to keep a person alive has become one of her weaknesses.

Over the years of working in the hospital, her vision has always been to keep her patient healthy and alive.

But the death of their patient tonight has become an eye-opener to her that you cannot control everything over your palm. Because God always has His own plans.

When they reached Jacob's SUV, Jacob opened the door to let J in.

J felt tired and exhausted that as soon as she lay her back at the car seat, she felt her eyelids dropped and her consciousness drifted away. She didn't have an idea that Jacob is staring at her worriedly then come closer to kiss her forehead.

While in the nurse' station Dr. Aaron keeps pondering on what he saw earlier. It was the CEO, comforting Nurse J in his arms. The aloof and distance Nurse J in the arms of the playboy and easy-going Dr. Jacob? That is not possible. Then he received a text message.

It came from the CEO itself.

"Bring Jenny's things in the parking lot."

Jenny? Just how close they are that he called her by her real name? Dr. Aaron thought.

Head Nurse Jing who was sitting in front of him suddenly rise up and said, "I'll go check out on Nurse J." Dr. Aaron was alerted.

"No need!" he said panicking.

Everyone looked at him in confusion. He tried to regain calmness then said, "She's in the lobby now. I'll take her things to her." after saying that. He grabbed Nurse J's bag and phone and rushed out of the hospital.

At the parking lot, Dr. Aaron saw Jacob's SUV. He walked towards it and saw Jacob leaning on the door with an open window, inside he saw Nurse J asleep.

He hands over Nurse J's things to Jacob then looked at him questioningly.

Jacob did not falter instead he looked at J who is in a deep slumber and said, "What you saw earlier... I hope you can keep it a secret."

Dr. Aaron narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you plan with her? She is not the kind of girl to play around with."

Jacob smirk and said, "Did you think I didn't know that? I am not playing around. She is my reality."

Dr. Aaron's jaw dropped. Who is this man?
