Stop Panicking! Miss Jacobs will Not Look Back!-Chapter 283: Mr. Langley, Your Wife Doesn’t Want You Anymore
"Juliana, let me take you."
Raine Kane quickly ran after her.
The hospital room door closed, Elias Langley’s fingers clenched. The burning pain on his back was unbearable, yet it was nothing compared to the emptiness and piercing pain in his heart.
In the elevator, Juliana Jacobs allowed Raine Kane to follow her, but she just stared at the changing numbers in silence.
Raine Kane tried to speak multiple times but was silenced by the oppressive quiet.
The elevator reached the first floor, and as soon as the doors opened, Juliana walked straight out.
Raine Kane was just about to speak when he saw Auden Hughes coming towards them with gifts in his hands.
Seeing Juliana, Auden paused for a moment, then approached with concern.
"You’re getting discharged so soon?"
Juliana’s face remained calm and indifferent, her tone distant, "I wasn’t really hurt, so there’s no need to be hospitalized." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Auden’s expression relaxed a bit, "I was just about to go up to see you..."
Juliana’s gaze grew colder.
"Mr. Hughes seems to have plenty of free time, it looks like your company’s troubles aren’t significant enough."
Auden knew well that the recent inability of Vivacore to conduct business, and even the rejection of subsidy applications, all had something to do with her.
Suppressing his emotions, he conceded, "Regarding your friend’s application, regardless of what Florence Sinclair decides, I’ve approved it on my end. But I must go to Kenton myself to check on the patient’s condition. If her current state is the same as or better than expected, she’ll need to be brought to Kingsford for treatment."
His words carried a hint, hoping she would accompany him.
Juliana, however, showed no interest in responding and said plainly, "Contact Caleb Shaw, he’ll arrange your itinerary accordingly."
With that, she didn’t give him another chance to speak and walked away.
Returning to Number 17 Darroway Street, Juliana thought she would have trouble sleeping after napping for so long at the hospital. Surprisingly, she had a good night’s rest.
Waking up the next morning, she felt no headache or dizziness and had a decent amount of energy.
She washed up and glanced at the empty medicine box.
The medicine Elias Langley had prepared for her was finished, but she didn’t feel like taking more.
Lately, she felt as if living alone for too long became quite dull.
She tossed the box into the trash and left her room.
When she reached the dining area, Steward Fay had already prepared breakfast for her.
Raine Kane approached her as soon as she saw her.
"Juliana, are you going to The Innovation Hub today as well?"
Juliana responded coldly, stopping short when she saw the kitchen preparing a boxed breakfast.
Steward Fay quickly explained, "This is breakfast being sent to Mr. Langley."
"Was last night’s also delivered?" Juliana asked.
Steward Fay nodded, "Not a single meal missed. Mr. Langley even asked if you had been eating well at home."
Juliana was silent for a moment and eventually softened her heart, instructing, "I’ll take it to him later."
Worried he might go hungry, Juliana quickly finished her breakfast and hurried to the hospital.
Upon reaching the hospital room door, a guard was about to salute her but she stopped him.
From inside, she heard Florence Sinclair’s voice.
"Elias, my mom made this personally over two hours. She said you need to nourish yourself well with your injury. Since you can’t move easily, let me feed you."
Saying that, Florence moved the spoon to Elias Langley’s mouth.
Standing outside, Juliana looked at the thermal container in her hands, suddenly feeling like a fool.
She handed the thermal container to Raine Kane, "Get rid of it."
Then turned around and left.
Raine Kane, burdened with the task, was unsure whether to dump it down a drain or into Mr. Langley’s stomach.
Inside, Elias Langley lay prone, avoiding Florence Sinclair as if she were a viper.
He turned his head away, his tone cold and hard.
"Just leave it on the side. She should be bringing me breakfast soon."
Florence’s hand holding the spoon froze in midair, a hint of embarrassment crossing her face.
She forced a smile, putting the bowl down.
"I see. Mom didn’t know Miss Jacobs was discharged too, so she made two portions. When Miss Jacobs arrives, you can eat together."
Just then, the room door was lightly pushed open, and Raine Kane peeked in cautiously.
Elias Langley, sensitive to the commotion at the door, turned his head immediately. Seeing only her there, his brow furrowed tightly.
"Where is she?"
Raine Kane, took a deep breath and entered, shaking the thermal container she held.
"Juliana was here. She said you probably wouldn’t be able to eat the breakfast she brought, so she... left."
Elias Langley closed his eyes and took a long breath, the rise and fall of his chest pulling on his back injury, causing sharp pain.
"Bring it in."
After instructing Raine Kane, he looked at Florence Sinclair, his face clearly showing impatience.
"You should go too, and take all these things with you. In the future, there’s no need to come anymore."
Florence’s face turned pale, tears almost spilling out.
"Elias, just because Miss Jacobs is unhappy, you’re going to cut ties with the Sinclair Family? My parents have treated you like their own for so many years, and you can disregard that just like this?"
"Leave!" Elias snapped, repressing his displeasure.
Knowing his determination, Florence realized it wasn’t worth saying more. She packed up the food and left with a heartbroken expression.
Once the door closed, Elias bore through his back pain and gritting his teeth, asked, "Where did she go?"
"Juliana asked me to bring it in... I’ll, I’ll go after her now!"
Raine Kane hurriedly ran out.
Juliana sat in the car, feeling suffocated and couldn’t help recalling what Auden Hughes said the previous day.
She picked up her phone and dialed out.
"Have the plans for Kenton been decided?"
Auden chuckled on the other end, "Rest assured, I wouldn’t lie to you. The flight is booked for 11:10 AM, so lunch will have to be resolved on the plane."
Juliana replied casually, "Upgrade to business class. I’ll go with you."
Auden’s voice immediately filled with surprise, "Juliana, you..."
"See you at the airport."
Without waiting for him to finish, Juliana hung up.
By the time Raine Kane caught up to the car, Juliana had already fastened her seatbelt.
"Juliana, you’re going to Kenton?"
"Yes, I’m going alone. Please take extra care of the company matters."
Raine Kane immediately grew concerned, "But if you’re alone, what if something happens..."
Juliana let out a light laugh, her eyes showing no warmth.
"My safety isn’t something Mr. Langley contemplates as a matter needing deliberation. If he doesn’t want me to be in danger again, he’ll naturally find a way."
No one had told her about the kidnappers’ identities in the recent kidnapping incident, but Juliana could guess.
"Juliana," Raine hesitantly ventured, "actually, it wasn’t just blind cooperation with Mr. Langley yesterday. I just felt... at the time..."
At a loss for words, she anxiously scratched her head.
But Juliana calmly picked up the conversation.
"You’re trying to say that his suggestion to let Isabelle Sinclair go first was a rational, objective choice and that it can be understood. I don’t deny understanding it, but I can’t forgive. I’m not a pawn on his board, and when he places so-called rationality in front of me, I realize in his heart, I’m still just an option to be sacrificed at any time."
"Raine," Juliana held back her stinging nose, "Why am I always the one who deserves to be abandoned? Why?"
Her question left Raine speechless.
Juliana calmed herself down.
"I can’t figure it out. It just makes me feel cold. The mindset of men and women is different, so I have to leave here, get some quiet, and sort things out."
Needing to catch her flight, Juliana drove off alone.
Raine Kane quickly returned to the hospital room.
She burst through the door, not even pausing for breath, and spoke to the man bedridden due to back injuries, "Mr. Langley, your wife has left you."
Elias Langley struggled but couldn’t move, enduring the pain in his back, he frowned, "Say that again!"
