CHAPTER 77
Maya suddenly let out a heavy sigh as she sat beside Jake on the sofa. The cheerful conversation about the new house immediately faded from her mind when she remembered what had happened the previous night.Her expression changed, and the smile that had been on her face disappeared."Actually, there is something I do not understand," Maya said as she looked from Jake to her parents. "Why is everyone acting as though nothing happened yesterday?"Maya's mother glanced at her with confusion."What are you talking about?" she asked."I am talking about Lucas," Maya replied, her voice becoming more serious. "How can we sit here and talk about houses when that man humiliated all of us yesterday?"Her father frowned."I have not forgotten what happened," he said. "Nobody has forgotten it.""But it feels like everyone has," Maya replied as she shook her head. "Lucas humiliated Mom and Dad. He humiliated me. And he even beat Jake so badly that Jake ended up in the hospital."Jake remained sil
CHAPTER 76
When Jake and Maya finally walked into the house, Maya's mother immediately noticed how weak and exhausted Jake looked. His movements were slower than usual, and although he tried to maintain a normal expression, the tiredness on his face was obvious.Maya's mother quickly stood up from where she had been sitting and moved toward him. Maya's father followed closely behind her, and together they approached Jake as though they were afraid he might collapse."Jake, you look so tired," Maya's mother said worriedly as she reached for his arm. "Are you sure you should have left the hospital already?"Jake forced a small smile and allowed her to help him toward the sofa."I am fine, Mom," Jake assured her as he slowly lowered himself onto the sofa. "The doctors said my condition is stable now. They checked me several times before allowing me to leave," he lied.Maya's father pulled another chair closer and sat down opposite him. He studied Jake's face carefully before asking, "Are you st
CHAPTER 75
It did not take long before Maya drove Jake back to his mansion. Jake sat quietly in the passenger seat for most of the journey.Maya noticed that he was unusually quiet, but she decided not to question him too much. After some time, Maya finally turned into the street where Jake's house was located. The moment they arrived, Jake looked through the window at the property.Unlike the enormous mansion he had purchased for Maya's parents, his own house was considerably smaller. It was still beautiful and comfortable, but compared to the expensive property he had once proudly shown Maya's family, this house looked much more economical.Maya drove into the parking area and brought the car to a stop. For a few seconds, neither of them said anything.Then Maya cleared her throat.“Jake, there is something I want to remind you about,” she said.Jake turned toward her.“What is it?” he asked.Maya switched off the engine and looked at him.“Before we got married, you told me that you were g
CHAPTER 74
Jake looked toward the hospital gate again, still worried that someone from Technica could appear at any moment. He then turned toward Maya.“We should leave this hospital immediately,” Jake said.Maya looked at him with surprise.“Leave the hospital immediately?” she asked.Jake nodded quickly.“Yes,” he replied. “I want us to leave now.”Maya sighed as she looked at the food she had just bought.“But I just got you food,” she explained. “I thought you were going to eat something first and rest for a while before we left. You have only just recovered, Jake.”Jake shook his head.“I can eat at home,” he said.Maya frowned.“You were the one who said you were hungry earlier.”“I know,” Jake replied. “But I do not want to stay here anymore. I am tired of this hospital, and I just want to go home.”Maya looked at him for a moment.“Are you sure?” she asked.“Yes,” Jake answered immediately. “We need to go to my house now. I will eat there and rest there.”Maya could see that Jake was un
CHAPTER 73
Jake scrambled out of his hospital bed, he quickly looked toward the door.At that moment, the door opened, and a nurse walked into the room. The moment she saw Jake standing beside his bed, she immediately became concerned.“Mr. Cole, what is wrong?” the nurse asked as she approached him. “Are you looking for something?”Jake turned toward her with a nervous expression.“I need to leave,” he said.The nurse looked at him in surprise.“You should not be getting out of bed yet,” she explained. “You have only just regained consciousness, and your body still needs to recover. If you need something, please tell me what it is, and I will get it for you.”Jake shook his head.“No, I need to go,” he insisted.The nurse moved closer to him.“Please do not stress yourself,” she said. “If there is anything you need, I can get it for you. You should return to the bed and rest.”Jake became increasingly impatient.“I cannot stay here,” he replied.The nurse reached out to stop him.“Mr. Cole, p
CHAPTER 72
Lucas reached for his phone, unlocked the device and opened the new official email account connected to Technica.He opened a new email and entered Jake Cole's name as the recipient.For a moment, Lucas looked at the empty message box.He knew that Jake was currently in a hospital, but he did not know exactly which hospital he was staying in. However, Lucas also knew that Jake did not need to know that.He wanted Jake to believe that Technica had already tracked him down.Lucas began typing:“Your time is running out, Jake Cole. We have finally located you, and we know that you are currently hiding in a hospital. You cannot continue running forever. Return everything you stole from Technica immediately, or our agents will track you down and make sure you answer for what you have done.”Lucas read the message once before smiling.He had deliberately written it in a way that would make Jake believe that Technica already knew exactly where he was.Although Lucas did not know the name of
