Jacob’s pov
I hadn’t been back for a few days, and when I came back to get a change of clothes, I happened to see Krista talking and laughing with Afra in the greenhouse.
Seeing the smile on Krista’s face, I could also think about my daughter lying in a hospital bed, helpless and without any desire to live, just like the living dead before.
My heart is really uncomfortable, why? Flora came first, and the person who fell in love with the young master was also Flora. Why is Flora still the one who bears the pain in the end? What did she do wrong?
Without Mrs. Fischer… No, Mrs. Fischer is innocent, too.
Krista’s pov
As Afra flipped through the book, I saw Uncle Jacob outside the window. I got up, and when I was about to say hello to him, he had bowed respectfully in my direction, and then walked to his own cabin.
When I sat down, Afra looked at me wondering, “Aunt, who are you looking?”
I recovered, sat down and smiled at Afra. “Nothing, go on, just keep reading.”
I wonder in my heart. The way Jacob looked at me just now, there was something strange.
The next morning, I was on my way to the construction site when my cell phone rang.
It’s Jacob. I pull over and pick up my cell phone. “Hello, Uncle Jacob.”
“Mrs. Fischer, I don’t know if you are busy now. Can I take a few minutes of your time? Just a few minutes.”
I thought about it and said, “Are you in the hospital? Do you want me to go to the hospital?”
He answered. “If you can, and if will not be of much trouble for you Mrs. Fischer?”
I hung up the phone, turned around and came to the hospital.
I came to Flora’s ward door and saw Jacob pinching Flora’s legs. I understand that Uncle Jacob doesn’t want her daughter’s muscles to deteriorate and she doesn’t want to be in a wheelchair all her life. I waited at the door for a few minutes, but when I saw that Jacob had not come out, I called the nurse, went in and sent him a message, saying that the doctor was looking for him. Soon, Jacob came out.
When he saw me, his face was respectful. “Mrs. Fischer, I’m sorry to have made you run and caused you trouble.”
“It’s okay. You can always call me, Uncle Jacob. What did you want to tell me?”
He pointed to the corridor not far away. “Mrs. Fischer, let’s talk over here.”
I nodded and followed him into the corridor.
All of a sudden, the surroundings became quiet. He didn’t speak, but stood in front of me uneasily, clasping his hands.
I saw his dilemma and smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, Uncle Jacob, if you have something to say, just say it.”
He looked at me and suddenly fell to his knees in front of me with a splash.
I got a fright and bent over to help him up. “Uncle Jacob, what are you doing? Get up quickly, I can’t let you like this.”
He pressed my wrist. “No, Mrs. Fischer, please let me. Don’t help me. Just let me kneel like this. I really can’t say something without kneeling.” Said, and turned his head and wiped his tears.
I crouched down and looked at him. “Uncle Jacob …”
He shook his head. “Mrs. Fischer, I want to beg you, leave the young master and save my Flora’s life. My Flora, she really can’t hold on. I really can’t help it. Mrs. Fischer, you have mercy and save her.”
My body stiffened at his request.
He looked guilty, “I am also a person. I know that you were once a daughter who was raised by others. You are the apple of their eyes. I am really sorry for making such an excessive request to you. But … before that, I was still a father, a father whose precious daughter was recovered. I had already suffered the pain of losing my daughter once, and I really didn’t want to try it again. You must have heard about the feelings between Flora and the young master. Before the young master married you… No, after the young master married you, the person that the young master loved was always Flora. The reason why he decided to get married was also mentioned to me. He didn’t want to disappoint the old lady and the old man. The old lady and the old man are old, and they all hope to see the young master get married and have children. Their wish has been for a long time. I also hope that the young master can do it according to the wishes of the old lady and the old man.
If it weren’t for Flora’s bad situation, if it weren’t for knowing the young master’s feelings for Flora, then I wouldn’t be like this anyway, because I know very well how innocent you are. Mrs. Fischer, I’m not begging you because you’re not good. I’m just trying to keep my daughter alive. Even now, I think the young master’s decision is right. After all, it is also the blessing of the Fischer family to marry such a good girl as you. I know that you are the wife of the young master and the housewife of the Fischer’s mansion. The young master has responsibilities and obligations to you. He can’t divorce you now. As the servant of the Fischer family, I am not qualified to do so. But Flora won’t listen to me at all. She hasn’t eaten anything for five days. I’m really afraid that my child who is relying with nutrient solution will suddenly leave me and leave the world one day. If I can save her, I can even give up my life. Even if I die at once and trade my life with her, I am willing. If I have a little way, I won’t ask you, Mrs Fischer, I am… I really can’t help it. ”
He said, pressing his forehead to the ground.
