Chapter 514 - A trap that is never really a trap

Jacob quickly followed the obviously angry and emotional J inside the house. But he found her at the backyard hugging Timothy who looked astounded probably because of J's sudden reaction.

He felt Arthur stand beside him, they watched J for a couple of seconds in silent. The two looked gorgeous in their own different way.

"Alex seems to have a liking towards her." Arthur was the first one to break the silence. Jacob was not surprised. Instead, he takes a deep breath.

"You noticed it, as well," Jacob said as he brushed his hair with his fingers.

"It was not hard to notice." Arthur looked at J with concern. "While it was quite a relief that he will not hurt or force her, he might resort into another way." Arthur continued and glanced at Jacob. "He might do something that will make Miss J voluntarily yet unwillingly present herself to him."

Jacob's lips pressed into a thin line. He had actually thought of it when he heard of what happened to Diana. And it was probably what J is thinking as well. They all thought that Alex is using Diana to blackmail J and make her come to him. The thought of her divorcing him and marrying Alex Ogden is killing him.

He was furious when he found out that Alex Ogden asked J to meet him. He was scared, he thought that this is it, he might not be able to see her and call her his wife. And he cannot let that happen, so he rushed out from Twelve Army to where she is meeting Alex Ogden. He was only able to calm down when he received a report from Felix. Arthur received the report at the same time.

"How's Diana?" He asked he has never told J about her. He hasn't got a chance.

"They're taking her to Loghouse. She is asking for Timothy." Arthur replied.

Jacob nodded his head and looked at his watch. "We still have time. Prepare the team. We'll take Timothy to her."

"Okay. Looks like, Diana has her own troubles." Arthur said. It turns out that Alex Ogden really has nothing to do with what happened to Diana.

"Every member of the Society has its own troubles," Jacob said then he looked at Arthur. His words have a deeper meaning.

Arthur left to prepare to go to Naupaka Mountain while Jacob walked towards J and Timothy. "Hey, little buddy," Jacob called out to Timothy.

Timothy looked up to him as well as J.

"Ready to see your mom?"

He watched as Timothy and J's eyes widened at once. He chuckled at J looking no less like Timothy in amazement. Then Timothy suddenly jumped up and down in excitement.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Timothy screamed.

"Where is she? Is she okay? I have to see her." J said feeling elated and worried at the same time.

Jacob reached out to cup her cheeks with his palms. "Leo and Felix are taking her back to Loghouse. I guess it is better and safer for her to stay there."

"Oh, God!" J felt relieved. She wrapped her arms around Jacob's waist and seemed to have forgotten her anger at him earlier.

"Thou I think she is not in her perfect condition. You knew about her previous illness, right?"

J nodded her head. "Only Mom, Dad and me and of course Leo knows about it. Did it worsen?" She asked in a worried tone.

"I am not sure about that yet. I guess only you and Mom and Dad can tell since only you guys know about it."

"Let's go? She asked for Timothy and I promised to take him there." Jacob said while he stroke J's back.

"Okay." J pulled herself out from Jacob but Jacob stopped her.

"Wait."

J looked up at his face. Jacob hasn't let her go. His arms were still around her delicate body. While J's hands are on his chest.

"About earlier. I'm sorry that I shouted at you. I was just scared. I thought I'm gonna lose you. I thought Alex Ogden was using Diana to steal you from me. I thought he made a trap and you just willingly stepped into it."
