Chapter 305 - Overreacting

"Let's call it a day," Jacob said before he left everyone to breathe.

J knew that Jacob would probably send her team to a death sentence so she made the right time to call for him.

When Jacob reached their bedroom, J is already having a shower. Jacob took this opportunity to calm down. After 30 minutes, he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw the errand boy carrying a tray with applesauce and crackers on the side. These foods will help J's stomach settle after vomiting. Jacob gave the boy an approving look before he took the tray from his hands and closed the door.

At the same time, J finished her shower and saw Jacob holding a tray on his hands.

"Your team's errand boy is quite proficient," Jacob said as soon as he saw J came out of the bathroom. J looked at the tray on Jacob's hand and saw applesauce and crackers.

"He's a nursing student," J replied.

"Oh." Jacob quickly understands. He walked towards the bed and put the tray on the side table and gestured for J to sit on the bed which she obliged. Then Jacob takes out another dry towel to dry J's hair.

"What were you doing downstairs?" J asked.

"I was lecturing your team," Jacob replied. He knew that J was inquiring about when he left her to Stefan to return to the living room where her team is.

J smirk and said, "I think the most appropriate word is scaring my team." Jacob didn't reply as he continued to dry her hair. "It is normal for the first-timer to feel a bit queasy during a simulation. You are a doctor, you should know the physiology of nausea and vomiting."

Jacob feels J's hair in his hand, once he felt that it was almost dry, he stopped drying her hair and take the tray from the side table and put it in the bed. He takes a spoon of applesauce and helped J to eat. J is now sitting on the bed with her legs crossed facing Jacob.

"Okay, I overreacted," Jacob said in a much calmer tone.

"So, you knew," J said sarcastically as she continued to open her mouth to eat every spoonful of applesauce that Jacob brought to her mouth.

"You can't blame me. That was the first time I saw your vomiting like that. You vomited everything you ate at dinner. I was so worried about you." Jacob said with a frown on his face. The wariness he felt was almost at the same level when he saw J lying in bed unconscious in CEO Wang's mansion.

J stared at Jacob with a stern face which later on turned soft and warm. "What if I got pregnant later on? How are you going to deal with my morning sickness? Are you going to get ill-tempered all throughout my pregnancy?"

Jacob was stunned. Then after a minute of contemplating he said. "I think I might have a Couvade Syndrome."

After hearing this J let out a chortle. Couvade Syndrome is a condition in which the father-to-be experiences morning sickness instead of the mother-to-be. And the thought of Jacob experiencing morning sickness made J gleeful. Not that she wants him to experience that, it's just that Jacob is very much willing to experience it just so J wouldn't have to experience this difficulty.

"How can you be so sure about that?" J said with a hint of a smile.
