The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1681

She understood what was most important for her right now.

"Alright." Larkin gently patted her head, "Off you go."

"Okay!"

Erica nodded, then headed in the direction Lenora had pointed out earlier.

Lenora stood still, witnessing the exchange between Erica and Larkin.

When she looked at Larkin again, her eyes were filled with annoyance and resentment.

Rosalynn's phone suddenly rang. She had a brief conversation with Larkin, then headed straight for the fire exit to take the call.

Seeing this, Lenora approached Larkin.

Larkin didn't have a good impression of this woman, and he didn't want to interact with her more than necessary.

However...

"Mr. Carter, didn't expect you to follow us here, seems like you really care about my son, huh?" Lenora initiated the conversation.

Larkin responded coldly, "My wife and I rushed here on our honeymoon, Mrs. Strand. You can't even say a word of thanks, only sarcasm, that’s quite surprising."

Graham noticed the situation.

He knew that his wife was about to say something intemperate.

He quickly walked over.

Right when he arrived, he heard his wife saying, "You know, Erica is still in love with Jacob, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't have abandoned her honeymoon with you to rush back here as soon as she heard Jacob was sick. You followed her back, it’s probably because you are afraid she wouldn't want to leave Jacob once she's back, right?"

"Lenora, what are you talking about!" Graham quickly tried to stop his wife.

But Lenora was too strong, pushing Graham aside and continuing to address Larkin, "Mr. Carter, I know this sounds harsh, but anyone with eyes can see that Erica married you just to spite Jacob because I opposed their marriage. We are all respectable people here, when Erica comes out later, you should take the initiative to propose a divorce, it's for the best of all three of you."

Erica walked into the room, looking at Jacob.

Her heart ached a bit.

She sat down next to the bed.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke, "How could you let yourself be in such a mess?"

On the bed, Jacob's hand seemed to move slightly.

Erica didn't notice.

She looked down at her own hands, "Your mom says you have no will to live, do you really want to die? Jacob, you can't do this to me! I've never wronged you when we were together, and our breakup was fair and square. If you die like this, do you know how many people would be attacking me? I won't let you die that easily!"

By the end, her voice was full of grievance.

"When we were together, you didn't protect me, letting others hurt me. Now that we're apart, you still want me to carry the stain of your death for the rest of my life? Jacob... I don't want this, I've finally escaped the heavy burden I've been carrying for over a decade, I don't want to take on any more burdens!"
