Chapter 978 Jacob Couldn’t Recognize His Family (1/2)

It was only then that Michelle realized that Jacob had indeed woken up from a coma. For a moment, she didn't know where to rest her hands and feet.

”How are you feeling now? Let me go and inform the doctors,” she muttered before hastily rushing out of the ICU, leaving both Jacob and Sam in the room as they stared at each other in a moment of confusion.

”You can go now. Tell David that… Oh, has he found Rita already?” Jacob asked as he raised his eyebrows into a perfect furrow. His speech began trailing as though he was strenuously trying to recall something.

It was unusual that he could recognize everyone except his wife and kids. As far as he was concerned, he had neither met Emily nor had he married her. Their kids also remained non-existent in his memory. Their place in his life was just a giant vacuum in his mind.

Sam sighed and shook his head in astonishment. He struggled to find an appropriate introduction to explain to Jacob that he had married Emily and she had given birth to two adorable kids. There was always a possibility that he could find it to be extremely difficult to process all of a sudden. However, Beryl was right here in the same hospital and she would definitely come here to visit her father as soon as she was made aware that he had woken up from his coma.

On the other hand, his younger son, Bowen, was staying at his house in Tyrone Mansion right now. As soon as Jacob got discharged from the hospital, he would figure out that his house was now being occupied by three others. There were specific rooms allotted for the kids. Moreover, Emily's stuff could be seen lying around everywhere. Even if he couldn't remember any of these things, the fact remained that he still had a family. Sam felt as if his head was going to burst open at this moment.

”Daddy? Daddy!” Beryl's abrupt and sweet voice reached the ears of both Sam and Jacob even before she entered the room. Sam's heart momentarily sank. It was too late for him to attempt any type of damage control.

She barged into the room and ran toward the bed where her father was lying. Her face was filled with joy and delight. She had come to see her father the moment she had learned that he had woken up from his coma.

It was the happiest day in recent times for her, as life had gotten particularly hard for her to live. Her mother was missing and her father had been badly burnt and fallen into a coma while he was searching for her mother.

”Daddy? Are you kidding me?” Jacob asked as he looked at Beryl and his facial expression seemed to badly demand answers. Sam could detect the annoyance and impatience in his voice.

Jacob had no intention of socializing with this little girl in front of him. He had thought of a to-do list in his head a moment ago and now he was contemplating how to deal with Darren.
