Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 539

“Are you closely related to these two persons?”

“Yes!” Jessica continued to ask, “Where are they now? Are they okay?”

Jacob hesitated briefly before answering, “I sent someone to check and received some information. One died from serious injuries at the hospital, while the other passed away in a car accident. Both were cremated, and their ashes are placed at the funeral home.”

Silence ensued for a while after Jacob finished speaking.

“Josie, are you all right?” Jacob asked worryingly.

“They are… dead?” Jessica responded after a long while with a stammer. “Both are dead?”

Jacob hurriedly answered, “There’re many people with the same name in the country. Could it be that you gave me the wrong ID card numbers? Perhaps you’d like to verify the info again; I can always check again on my end.”

“No, it can’t be wrong… The ID card numbers are correct…” Jessica suddenly began to sob. “How can they be dead… They were the only family members I had left in this world…”

Jacob smacked his head after realizing his recklessness.

If he had known Jessica was asking about her family members, he would not have told her the truth directly.

“Relax for now, Josie. It might be a mistake on my end,” Jacob gently comforted her. “I’ll ask my men to check again. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said anything without verifying the facts first.”

The sobs on the other end of the phone had already turned into loud wails, drowning Jacob’s voice.

It was a heart-wrenching cry that made Jacob anxious and upset.

He hung up the phone and called the housekeeper taking care of Jessica to head upstairs and check on her while making his way to the private room.

Upon entering the private room, Jacob apologized profusely, “I’m sorry, everyone. I need to leave now as I have an urgent flight to take. Please continue to have fun.”

He found his jacket on the couch and prepared to leave.

Wyatt glanced at Jacob. “You’re going to Yartran to find your girl?”

“Yes. I said something wrong and made her cry… So I got to make amends. Argh, what a nuisance!” Jacob scratched his head in frustration. “Anyway, they’re your guests. It’s only right that you entertain them.”

Wyatt could not be bothered to respond and looked away.
