The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1688

Jacob laid eyes on her once and broke down in tears, " So, no matter how I try to change the past, it's all in vain, right?"

"Jacob, this is the path we chose together. I enjoyed the process, even though we didn't make it to the end, and I feel regret. But please don't let the past sixteen years turn into a nightmare between us. Wake up, keep living, live well."

"I'm scared... I'm afraid that in the world after I wake up, you won't be there anymore..."

Erica didn't say anything.

She just quietly looked at him.

And then she slowly disappeared from his line of sight.

In the hospital room, Jacob slowly opened his eyes, tears welling up from the corners of his eyes.

Today was the third day Erica came to see Jacob.

She quietly left the hospital room.

Rosalynn was still trying to persuade Lenora to accept Larkin's acupuncture treatment.

However, Lenora didn’t listen to any advice at all, and she saw Larkin as an enemy completely.

No matter what was said, she disagreed.

She always thought Larkin had ulterior motives and would harm her son.

"If that's the case, Rosalynn, just drop it," Erica said, annoyed.

Lenora knew that Erica had made up her mind not to marry her son.

Her attitude towards Erica had lost the enthusiasm she had when Erica first came to the hospital room. It was good enough to remain indifferent.

After hearing what Erica said, Lenora's face instantly turned even worse, " Erica, I'm not targeting you, but your fiancé's character is really worrying. He’s been taking advantage of others' misfortunes, stealing someone else's wife..."

"Can you stop twisting the facts?" Erica retorted, "Then, let me make it clear to you once more, the relationship between Jacob and I has developed to this point today, all because of your fault! Moreover, you know how skilled Larkin is in his medical practice, right? For the sake of your own face and suspicion, even if Larkin has a chance to wake Jacob up, you refuse to try. You should stop saying how much you love your son in public!"

Rosalynn and Erica almost couldn't help but laugh.

"You... You are beyond saving!" Lenora turned her head angrily, "I won't let anyone with ulterior motives hurt my son!"

"It's strange, there are so many people waving wads of cash begging for Larkin's medical assistance, and now when we offer to help, we're still disliked." Orval walked over to Erica, "Aunt, this is a life lesson for you. We can't be soft-hearted anymore. Some people are just not deserving of our kindness!"

Erica nodded in silence.

But she was thinking: That was close. In the past, she was so focused on Jacob that she didn't accept the marriage proposal from Orval.

If she really married Orval, will she be able to win an argument against him? How many times will she end up crying from frustration every day?

"Go! Just get out of here!" Lenora was furious, "You've been here for so many days, and my son hasn't woken up. You're not that important to my son. You're not welcome here anymore. Get out!"

However, as soon as she finished her words, there were medical staff rushing over in a hurry.
