Chapter 533 - The safest and most secure place

"Honey, I know you are worried about them but believe me, this is the best set up for you and the family. Thou I still think it isn't the best. I originally planned for us to stay at the Twelve Army Headquarters." Jacob paused to see J's reaction and he was not surprised when J snaps her head at him with a deeper frown.

Jacob chuckled. "I knew you would react that way, so I dismissed the idea. But worst comes to worst, I still prefer that you stay there. It is probably the safest and most secure place in the country. It could probably match or even surpass the security of the military headquarters. The headquarters has the highest and most advanced security level and the place is crowded with a skilled private army. The Novus Rex wouldn't dare come near there."

J looked at Jacob, thou she doesn't like the idea of staying there for the very reason that it is too far from the hospital, she cannot deny the fact that what Jacob said is true. The Twelve Army headquarters is the safest place in the country against Novus Rex. She wouldn't be surprised if one day, Jacob would just take her there to stay knowing how protective Jacob is towards her.

"So, you decided that we should stay with your parents instead."

"Yes. Because that's the better option. At least the mansion is in the safest and most secure place in Lotus City since the mansion itself is surrounded by agents from Twelve Army and the residents there were mostly retired government and military official. So, Novus Rex would at least think twice to attack the place."

J remained silent.

Jacob glanced at her. She is not scowling at him anymore. That's good, he thought, but she isn't saying anything which is not good. He reached out to stroke her cheeks. One of his hands still on the wheels.

"Honey, this is just temporary. Nothing would happen to them. You are not putting them in danger. Trust me."

J holds his hand that is on her cheeks. "I know. I understand. I'm sorry. I don't mind living with them. It's just, I'm worried about them." She said. Her voice filled with worry.

Jacob grasped her hand, "Honey, stop worrying, okay? Have you forgotten who your husband is? Are you doubting my capabilities?" He said arrogantly.

J pursed her lips and gave him a side-eye.

"You'll stop worrying now?"

"It's not that easy." She replied without looking at him. It is easy to say but hard to do. She cannot just not worry. It is in human nature to worry for someone that you care for. People sometimes worry unnecessarily.

"Okay. At least don't blame yourself." Jacob knows that at the bottom of her heart, even if she doesn't say it. She is blaming herself for everything that is happening now. Although she is, in fact, the biggest victim of the situation.

J didn't reply and just keeps on staring outside the window watching the scenery changed as they passed by. She knew she cannot stop blaming herself.

Jacob thought internally. 'I have to keep her preoccupied.'

After an hour, they arrived at the hospital. Instead of dropping her off at the main entrance, they proceeded to the 1st Level Basement Parking where she noticed that it was again empty. She looked at Jacob with confusion.

"It's better that we use this exclusively." She heard Jacob said before he steps out of the car. As expected, her security became more strict. Before she could open her door, Jacob has already done and he helped her step out.

Arthur and Daniel have already parked their car, they were driving ahead of them while Felix and Stefan were on their motorbike. She didn't notice if they were ahead of them or behind them.

Then she noticed another black SUV that parked near them. "I thought this parking is exclusive." She asked Jacob while watching as two buff men step out of the car. Then she finally realized.

"Yes, it is. They are your additional guards. Three of them were outside the hospital." Jacob said casually which made J's jaw dropped on the floor.

What the...? Five more guards? Seriously?
