Book:Love And Hate Are Mingled Published:2024-5-1

Jacob’s eyes were cold, and his chest burned with anger. “She didn’t undergo the kidney transplant? What do you mean?”
She showed the need for surgery in front of him and after entering the operating room, she did not undergo surgery yet told the doctor to kill the other person?
“I followed up and found…” The subordinates paused and told the truth. “Miss Lucia’s kidneys have no problems.”
Jacob clenched his fist and was engulfed in anger and regret.
In order to ensure the kidney transplant is successful, he made Katherine get an abortion twice.
It turned out that he removed Katherine’s kidney for nothing!
Taking a deep breath, Jacob said hoarsely, “Carefully investigate the car accident that happened that year.”
Knowing what he was referring to, the subordinate responded respectfully and left.
Sitting in the room, Jacob looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, but his heart felt cold.
What the hell did he do to Katherine?
Thinking of the past, Jacob was even more depressed that he felt suffocated.
At this moment, his phone rang.
Jacob glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Lucia.
In the past, he would definitely pick it up immediately, but now he hung up indifferently.
On the other side, Lucia, whose call was hung up, panicked. She was persistent and called again.
Jacob hadn’t come to see her for several days and didn’t even answer the phone. She wanted to see him, but Jacob sent someone to guard at the door and wouldn’t let her out.
Now that Katherine died as she wished, she should be the one to take Katherine’s spot and become the lady of the Murray Family. “Why did things turn out this way?” Lucia wondered.
Did Jacob fall in love with Katherine? Or did he find something out?
Lucia became more and more afraid as she thought about it and decided to call Jacob today.
After she called several times, Jacob finally picked up but said nothing.
Lucia glanced at the words “in a call” and was overjoyed. “Jacob.”
Jacob didn’t speak. Hearing Lucia call his name in a gentle voice, he did not feel the same way as before and only felt annoyed.
“Jacob? Are you listening?” Lucia’s joy was wash away by Jacob’s indifference, and she was a little anxious. “Don’t scare me, Jacob.”
Jacob was finally impatient. “What’s the matter?”
Hearing his cold voice, Lucia had a bad feeling but still pretended to be calm. “Are you busy lately? Why didn’t you come to see me?”
“Yes.”
An idea came to Lucia’s mind and her tone became sad. “Are you sad because of my sister’s death? This accident also made me sad for a long time. Shall we hold a funeral for my sister?”
Funeral.
This word hurt Jacob’s heart again.
No! He still didn’t believe that Katherine was dead.
“But Jake, people who died will only remain in the past. We can’t live in grief every day.”
Jacob still did not speak.
Lucia was silent for a few seconds. She took a breath and asked in a sorrowful tone, “Jake, have you… have you fallen in love with my sister?”
Jacob’s eyelashes trembled.
“Jake…”
Suddenly he didn’t have the patience to listen to Lucia’s words anymore. He hung up the call and then turned off the phone.
Although there were no more noises, the question, “Did you fall in love with my sister”, wouldn’t go away.
Did he fall in love with Katherine?
Maybe yes.
But, so what? Even if he realized this and acknowledged his mistakes, she was gone.
For two days in a row, Jacob went to and from work normally and did not look off at all. But the employees noticed that Jacob became grumpier and got angry at the smallest things. He was like the devil.
The results of the investigation came out quickly.
The subordinate handed Jacob the results and said, “I looked through the original security footage and found the person who messed up Ms. Lucia’s car. He finally told the truth after I gave him money. He said the car accident was forged. In fact, Miss Lucia found that person and asked him to come into contact with Mrs. Murray and pretend that it was Mrs. Murray who had him mess up the car. The truth is that he didn’t do anything, and the car was fine. Afterward, he got Mrs. Murray to come out and thereby, created the accident.”
So, all of this was faked by Lucia with the purpose of framing Katherine!
“What about the proof that the hospital provided?” If the car accident was fake, then were the injuries on Lucia’s body also fake?
The subordinate was silent for a while before bowing his head and saying, “They were also fake.”
Jacob turned to a certain page of the results and skimmed over. His eyes became darker as he read. After a while, he closed his eyes tightly and suppressed his anger.
He thought it was because of Katherine that Lucia’s health deteriorated. Lucia needed a kidney, so he asked Katherine to give Lucia her kidney. Lucia needed a heart, so he even wanted to remove Katherine’s heart for her. For all of this, he killed his three children!
Three!
Now that she let him know that all of it was fake.
Remorse filled his heart. Jacob clenched a fist and slammed the table hard, but he felt no pain in his body.
