Chapter 261 - The Foundation Gala(1)

J rolled her eyes. "Stop with the nonsense. Let's go." J said embarrassed.

"How is that a nonsense? That's the truth." Felix retorted back. And Stefan nodded his head in agreement. Arthur shot them a look that scared them. As the days passed by, J got used to the presence of not just Jacob but these four men as well. For her, it was like she has found her four big brothers that would protect her from any kind of harm that would approach her. Be it physical or emotional harm. In fact, their relationship doesn't seem like that of a guard and a VIP at all.

That is why she felt the highest gratitude towards them. If a time comes that she could be of any help to them, she would definitely grab the opportunity. She would also protect them in any way that she can.

When they reached the Elm Palace Hotel, the gala had already start. They walked in separately. Arthur, Felix and Stefan find themselves a place where they could see J from a distance while J entered the hall alone and searching for Diana. She didn't inform Jacob that she would be coming and forgot to inform Diana as well. She took her phone from her purse and called Diana but she is not answering her phone. Of course, she couldn't call Jacob so she just sent him a message that she is here. But didn't get a reply from him.

The hall was filled with CLP Hospital employees, nurses, doctors and other medical practitioners, board of directors and some close friends of the Parkers. Chairman Parker and Madam Kelly were there. Leticia and Mark Sloane were there as well. The Parkers were in one table with some of close family friends while Jacob is sitting with Dr. Aaron Choi in another table.

There is a Jazz singer that sings in the background making the whole place so cozy and elegant.

Jacob is sitting beside Dr. Aaron Choi, beside Dr. Aaron is his wife. While beside Jacob, Dr. Stella find her a place. Although everyone can bring in their escort and partner, Dr. Stella didn't bring any. She knows that Jacob wouldn't bring anyone with him so she grabs this opportunity to silently treat herself as Jacob's partner for the night. She came in with her father who is a member of the CLP Group of Hospital's Board of Director and her mother.

On the same table is Dr. Gonzales and his wife, they also brought their son, Atty. Nicholas Gonzales in the hope that J would attend the gala. Head Nurse Jing and her husband is also in the same table.

Jacob is talking to Dr. Aaron when he saw Diana with a familiar person beside her. It was Leo. Jacob nodded to Leo as soon as their eyes met which Dr. Gonzales noticed. As a council member of The Robin Hood Society Dr. Gonzales is very familiar with Madam Victoria's right-hand man Leo as well as with Diana. Seeing that Jacob seems to know Leo, he wonders how are they acquainted with each other.

Diana seemed to saw someone then her face brightened up. "Nurse J!" Diana was surprised to see her so she rushed towards her who was still in the entrance of the hall. Leo who was left lazily followed Diana with his impassive yet handsome face.

Jacob was stunned to hear that name. Then he turns around to look at the direction that Diana is going to. The others look at the same direction as well.
