You're The Best Medicine For Me novel Chapter 11

Meanwhile, both the kids had returned to the playroom after having their lunch at Spennor Residence.

Emma was trailing after Jacob as she tugged at his clothes while calling out to him.

Jacob looked up impatiently and asked snappily, “What is it? Shoot.”

“I miss Mommy already. I wonder whether that man will bully and push her around as it is rumored that he is notoriously ill-tempered, plus that hypocrite woman whom has a glib tongue and is good at play-acting is by his side, so I’m worry about her.”

Jacob wrinkled his brows as he plunged deep into thoughts upon hearing her concern, and he finally spoke after a while, “Have you ever seen her being bullied by anyone during her stint in America?”

“No!” Emma pouted her lips while she shook her head, but a sense of uneasiness still crept up to her, “Say, what if that man and two-faced woman have ganged up on Mommy then? What should we do about it? Mommy has to face both of them by herself.”

Jacob’s brows were furrowed even deeper after he was being fed with her apprehension. He cast aside the book that was in his hands in the next moment and scowled, “You’re so annoying.”

He promptly got off the bed and took Emma by her hand to walk over to Shirley’s room, and he soon brought out her laptop and turned it on.

After a few seconds of fiddling around with it, the laptop had pinpointed Shirley’s phone location right away. When he had found out that his mother was in the Moore Group, he decidedly hacked into the surveillance system of the company.

Emma leaned closer at once and fastened her eyes on the laptop screen to get a good look at the happenings displayed on it.

Two men and a woman could be seen riding in the elevator, and the woman was talking incessantly on the phone while the aloof man whom was standing beside her had put on a long face.

Emma happily pointed at the woman on the screen as she exclaimed, “It’s Mommy! Mommy…”

“You’re too noisy; my ears are hurting.”

“I’ll keep quiet then.” Emma hurriedly covered her mouth, but she blurted out again while pointing at the man whom was taking the lead when not even two seconds had passed by in silence, “Is he… our Daddy?”

She turned her head and gazed at Jacob’s face for a while, and her eyes reverted to the screen soon after to scrutinize the looks of the man on the screen as she exclaimed, “You look just like him, Jacob, and it’s as if you are a chip off the old block. Our Daddy seems to be giving Mommy the cold shoulder from what I can see here. How could he do that to her? He doesn’t even cast her any glances even though Mommy is so stunning. Do you think there is some problem with his eyes too?”

Although Jacob had appeared calm and cool-headed while wearing his usual indifferent look on his face as he listened to his sister rambled on and on, in actual fact an unprecedented sense of excitement and thrill that had never before experienced by him had surged up within him at that moment.

He was aware of the fact that Bryan was his father and the tragedy that had befallen on his mother since he turned three, hence he had always collected magazines that had Bryan’s articles and photos in it back then. He had only seen Bryan’s face through pictures all this while, so to be able to look at him through the screen this time around was a completely different experience to Jacob.

He could feel that his Daddy was right before his eyes this time.

There was a scene whereby Bryan had coincidentally raised his head and shot his gaze towards the surveillance camera, and Jacob was flushed crimson right away as he had a feeling that he was being watched by him.

He tried to suppress his embarrassment as he said crossly, “Shut up, Emma.”

Emma pursed her lips after she was told off by him, but her eyes were still glued to the screen while she broke out into a silly smile afterwards as she continued to gawk at her father.

It was not until Bryan had entered the meeting room that the scene finally cut from him back to Shirley.

The subsequent course of events was her giving them a call while she stood in front of the window wall.

Emma had managed to rein in her excitement as her silly grin had subdued when her eyes were set on Shirley, and she uttered while gazing longingly at the screen, “I wish I could go to Mommy now.”

“Wait!” Jacob’s eyes darkened in a swift as he caught sight of someone whom had made a sudden appearance in the video.

Sabrina had arrived on the scene in the next moment and staged the next performance by herself.

Emma’s smile vanished in an instant as she pointed at Sabrina and said furiously, “Isn’t she that whited sepulcher?”
