By the time Rosalynn and Wayne rushed to the hospital, Jacob had already been moved to a ward.
His condition had suddenly worsened, with signs of multiple organ failure.
"He's now in the ICU, doesn't look like he's got the will to live though," the doctor said, worry all over his face. "Has something happened to him?"
Lenora was totally taken aback.
She couldn't answer the doctor's question, her hand clutching at her chest.
Seeing this, Graham quickly gave her two pills to swallow.
After having a few words with the doctor, Rosalynn watched him leave to tend to other patients.
"What happened?!" Lenora, assisted by her husband to sit down in a corridor chair, started sobbing after a while. "Jacob is my precious baby, I've always cherished him like a treasure, but all it took was a woman for him to lose his will to live..."
Rosalynn hadn't expected Jacob's condition to be this serious.
Hearing Lenora's words, she immediately got angry: "Are you seriously blaming Erica at a time like this?"
Lenora's hands started shaking.
Graham knew that his wife was in the wrong this time.
But seeing Rosalynn accusing her, he instinctively defended her: "Rosalynn, my wife is already in pain, could you..."
"Mr. Strand, have you ever thought about why your wife acts the way she does?" Rosalynn began to scold him. "It's because you and your son always support her unconditionally. Jacob has turned into what he is now, and besides his own responsibility, she can't evade her responsibility either! And now you want to blame Erica, shouldn't I speak up for her?"
Graham's face darkened. He glanced at Wayne standing behind Rosalynn.
He moved his lips, but said nothing.
And then she suddenly had trouble breathing and fainted.
And so, chaos ensued once again.
Jacob's life was still in danger, and Lenora was rushed to the hospital.
Graham went with her, while Rosalynn and Wayne stood outside Jacob's ward, peering into the room through the ICU observation window.
In just two days, Jacob had become even thinner than he was at the wedding, there was no sign of life anywhere on him.
He was covered in tubes, surrounded by medical equipment, all working hard to keep him alive.
"How did it come to this," Rosalynn sighed.
Then she suddenly remembered when she faked her death and left, Wayne had also been hospitalized for half a year due to a severe illness.
