Chapter 180 - Guilty

J was awoken as soon as Jacob placed her in a bed. "Where are we?" J asked confused. She looked around and noticed that she is in hospital. "I said I'm fine, I don't need to be hospitalized."

"You are not in the position to be stubborn so stop it. Plus, we are not in a hospital. We are in Twelve Army Headquarters' clinic. I have to make sure that you are fine." Jacob's words were harsh at first but slowly became gentle.

J pout her lips and didn't bicker with him further when she saw a male doctor in his late 50's approached them.

"I want a full body check up on her. Do CT Scan, MRI and X-Ray." Jacob ordered intimidatingly.

"Yes, Chairman Parker. Right away." the old doctor replied and take away J.

Jacob went outside the clinic and found Arthur and Stefan on the lobby. Jacob sat in an accent chair near Arthur and Stefan. He felt exhausted after worrying too much about J. He leaned his back and closed his eyes as he pinched the area between his brows.

"Arthur, help Jenny file a leave for tomorrow," Jacob said, his eyes still close.

"Copy that," Arthur replied.

"Any news from Daniel and Stefan?" Jacob asked afterward.

"They were now spying Food Corp. International. Based on the evidence and circumstances that we got from Lance, Food Corp. International and Crocus Offshore Oil Rig have the motive but we are still looking for other possibilities." Arthur reported to Jacob.

"Have you investigated the accident?" after finding out about threats in J's life, Jacob has all the reason to be paranoid. Anything that can happen to J, he would think that someone might have intentionally done it. After all, this accident might have killed her.

"We did. It was purely an accident. The crew inspected the car before and after the accident. Nothing is wrong with the car." Arthur said.

"Miss J, lose control. Arthur and I noticed it as well." Stefan said his opinion but Arthur looked at him with a glare. Stefan just shrugged his shoulders.

"Since yesterday, Miss J seemed to be distracted. Maybe that's why she came out of control today." Arthur defended J because he knew the reason why she lost control in the track and had an accident.

Jacob opened his eyes and looked at Arthur with a grim expression. He knew very well why she was distracted and he is the one to blame. He is the reason why she was distracted. He is the reason why she lost control. He is the one to blame for that accident. He felt guilty.

After an hour J came out of the clinic on a wheelchair pushed by a nurse. She saw the three men waiting for her at the lobby. They all looked exhausted and she felt guilty. She had made these men great trouble and made them worry.

The four of them left the Twelve Army headquarters and headed back to Lotus City. Jacob was relieved to see the results of the exam. Except for bruises and cuts, she had a minor concussion but it is not life-threatening.

That night outside the Elm Palace Hotel, Daniel is waiting inside a white tinted Transit Van with a large sticker of Miss Elsa's Cakes and Pastries. He is watching over around ten monitors inside the van. The monitors showing different angles from outside and inside the hotel.
