Chapter 117 - Safe at Home

Now that he thought about it, does their marriage have something to do with her identity? Being married to him gives her instant protection. If the Second-Class Elites found out that J, the heiress of the Robin Hood Society is married to the Chairman of the Twelve Army, they wouldn't dare give a thought of harming her. Is this the reason why Elder Do married J to him? Then on what condition?

Jacob was in deep thought when he felt J moved. Worried flashed to his face when she moaned and grasped her head. She's getting conscious but probably feeling a little light-headed due to the drugs.

When J regained her consciousness, her visions were a little blurred, she narrowed her eyes trying to recognize the person sitting beside her in the bed where she lay. She was alerted at first but then she felt that the man who was caressing her head then her face was very familiar to her.

"J-Jacob?" fear was evident in her voice hoping that it was really Jacob.

"Hey... Honey...it's me. How are you feeling?" Jacob was gentle but worried.

When J finally had a clearer view and confirmed that it was really Jacob in front of her, she breaks down and burst out into tears in Jacob's chest. Jacob was heartbroken, she must be terrified after what happened. J was a strong person on the outside yet weak on the inside. He stroke her back and tried to comfort her.

"Shhh... it's okay. You're fine now. They are gone. I'm here now..." Jacob engulfed her in his arms while he comforts her. They stayed in that position until J calmed down.

"Where are we?" Jacob heard J asked him but didn't let her go from his embrace.

"We're at my house. You're safer here." Jacob replied. Then there was silence.

J was about to ask Jacob how did he found her when she remembered something, then she pushed herself away from Jacob and looked at Jacob's face. Her face looked worried then said, "Beauty! Jacob did you found her?! She was shot. Is she okay?"

For a moment Jacob thought that she was about to say something about her abduction but turns out she was more worried about the dog. He smiled at her and said, "Don't worry. I had James take Beauty and Beast in their vet. Beauty is fine, Beast got a cold after being left inside the cold bathroom, but..." sadness flashed in his face which J was quick to notice. "The pups didn't make it."

Seeing that J looked a little guilty, Jacob said, "Don't worry sweetheart, at least Beauty is fine. Let's just hope that she'll conceive again. Or maybe we can adopt a couple of pups for them. How about that? Hmm?" then Jacob pulled her again into his embrace.

J felt thankful to Jacob but she couldn't voice it out. Instead, she gave him a warm embrace which Jacob pleasantly returned back. If it wasn't for him, she's probably dead by now. Knowing the reason why they abducted her. She closed her eyes, feel the warmth of Jacob's body and inhaled his unique distinct scent. She felt safe.

"You haven't eaten anything. You're probably hungry. I'll get something for you to eat." she heard Jacob said before he pulled himself away from her and walked out of the room before she could protest
