Erica knew Jacob's pride inside out.
The fact that he crossed mountains and oceans to find her, to beg for a second chance. To Erica, this was the biggest compromise Jacob could make.
After all, he didn't do anything bad at her wedding. He was just another guest.
He didn't make any outrageous scenes.
So how come he was suddenly in danger?
Erica couldn't wrap her head around it. Could it really be because of her?
Even if Jacob came to beg for having her back this time, Erica didn't believe it was because he loved her.
At most, he was just used to having her, owning her. And now that he suddenly lost her, his domineering personality couldn't handle it, he just couldn't swallow it.
But could it really push him to the brink of death?
With these questions in mind, Erica and Larkin arrived at the H City airport after a long and exhausting flight.
As soon as they got out of the airport, Erica saw Orval waiting for them like a clown, holding a sign.
With him was Rosalynn, covered in a mask and sunglasses.
Without much words, they embraced each other enthusiastically.
Rosalynn gently patted Erica's back: "You had it rough."
Until she saw Jacob in the ward, hooked up to IVs.
A buzzing sound suddenly filled her ears, and Erica instinctively looked back for Larkin.
Lenora seemed oblivious: "You can go to that little room, the nurse will help you get into protective gear, then you can go see him... Ms. Lawrence, my son has lost the will to live, please offer him some words of encouragement, give him... the will to live..."
"I understand." Erica replied, pulling her hand away from Lenora's grasp.
She didn't follow Lenora's instructions, but stepped back to Larkin's side.
She handed over her phone and other belongings to Larkin, "I'll be back soon."
Erica has always been clear about her actions.
