Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1606

“What happened?”

Jacob’s voice was trembling.

Looking at Samuel’s expression, Jacob suddenly grabbed his hand and asked nervously, “Did it have anything to do with Olivia?”

“Let me ask you a question -- will you not care about Olivia’s life and death for your baby?”

As soon as Samuel finished asking, Jacob suddenly became excited.

“How could it be?”

“If you were asked to choose between the baby and Olivia’s life and death, which one would you choose?”

Jacob was in dilemma after hearing the question.

His obsession and persistence with children were beyond everyone’s imagination. However, he also loved Olivia truly, which couldn’t be denied.

Hence, Jacob frowned deeply. He asked while looking bitterly, “Do I have to make a choice? Can’t I choose both options?”

“There are a lot of things in this world that you can’t choose both options. Jacob, don’t be so greedy.”

Heaving a sigh, Samuel patted on his shoulder and whispered, “After Olivia went back to Country F with Nicole, Davon checked her up. Olivia was drugged by chronic toxicity. She has started coughing blood. The hospital couldn’t diagnosis what kind of poison it was. No one knows how long she could live on.”

After finishing his words, Samuel lifted his foot and walked away.

He had told Jacob whatever he ought to. It would be Jacob’s decision to make the choice.

Jacob felt as if he was struck by the lightning. He stood motionlessly, and Samuel’s words kept reechoing in his mind.

“Olivia was drugged by chronic toxicity. She has started coughing blood.”

Those words were like a magic spell, reechoing in his ears again and again.

Suddenly, Jacob thought that he himself was absolutely a jerk.

He had done wrong to Olivia when he wanted to have a baby. He also knew that Olivia had suffered a lot of grievances because of it. He also wanted to help her and punish the wicked, but he just wanted to punish Julissa after the baby would be born. He had never expected that Olivia was dying.

The lively and worry-free Olivia was dying.

He denied it inwardly.

He couldn’t believe it at all.

Like a lunatic, Jacob ran to catch up with Samuel and blocked his way.

“Mr. Green, you lied to me, didn’t you?”

Samuel’s eyes were darkened. He said indifferently, “Why would I lie to you? Any benefit for me?”

Of course not.

What Jacob had owned now was given by Samuel. Although he also worked hard, Samuel’s help made him save at least twenty years of hard work.

He knew how much Samuel treasured their friendship. Besides, they used to be colleagues in the army who had experienced life and death together. For the sake of this, he didn’t believe that Samuel would joke with him on this matter.
