Ex-wife, Please Come Back

"I'm on my way to the hospital. How's it going? The company, I mean..." Sara said as she sat in the car and turned on the Bluetooth headphones.

"Well, I'm still on my way to the company and I can say that nothing has been happening. Don't worry about me. I may not be able to visit mom for the next two days, but I am hoping that you would ask her to excuse my absence. And I am sorry about that, so please forgive me..."

Jacob's voice was filled with guilt as he tenderly said those words to Sara, to whom he owed everything. However, Cindy felt that Sara must be blessed to have Jacob and envied her.

"It's fine. Besides, you're working, and I already feel bad that I am not there by your side. If only..." Sara said with a warm smile.

Jacob seemed a lot different from before.

"Okay, I'll go to the company, then. Call me anytime if you need something." Saying that, he disconnected the call.

Cindy stared at him blankly.

There was a moment of silence between them. Although Cindy seemed to have heard Jacob's conversation with James, she did not say anything about it.

It was only fair that Kim had not showed up. Anyone in his position would have thought of escaping, too. Besides, if Cindy had died, then Kim would have been saved.

"Cindy, I need you to confirm something later," Jacob said, after thinking for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Cindy asked nervously.

"Don't be nervous... You just need to tell the others what happened. Besides, it's all right if he doesn't want to admit the truth, because I will handle everything." Jacob frowned, thinking that it was exceptionally hard to deal with.

"Well, what should we do if he doesn't admit the truth? To be honest, I have recorded the conversation." Cindy sighed. She had decided to give up her life, but still, she had a secret plan, in case things did not work the way she had expected it to.

"Do you really have a recording of the conversation?" Jacob exclaimed in surprise, excitement flowing through his veins. Things would be so much easier if there really was a recorded audio tape.
