Chapter 1313 A Confrontation (1/2)

The next day, Jacob rushed to the hospital as soon as he heard the news. After the initial recovery stage, Louis and Amy had been assigned separate rooms. Sometimes Louis needed to work, so he didn't want to disturb Amy's rest. When Jacob entered the room, he found that Louis was alone in the room. He was sitting with a laptop perched on his knees, trying to get some work done.

”Wow, you are really devious, Louis. Why didn't you tell us about this?”

This was the first sentence that Jacob said after entering the room.

Rolling his eyes, Louis snorted and said, ”I'm not a teenager. I can do what I want.”

Jacob nodded and said, ”Yes, that's true. You've just undergone a major surgery. Yet you've started to work immediately. Is there no one else in your company?”

This rebuke was the second sentence that Jacob said once he stopped next to Louis's bed.

Louis rolled his eyes again. ”What can I say? I'm a workaholic. I'm not as capable as you are, but you have no right to judge me,” he said.

Jacob nodded again. ”Better to ask for forgiveness than permission, huh? I wonder if my father-in-law will break your legs once he knows about this.”

”I haven't told him yet. When I get better, there will be no need to tell him. I don't want him to worry about these things,” Louis said earnestly as he glanced at Jacob. The playful banter between them was finally over.

However, Jacob threw up his hands and said ominously, ”But I have already told him.”

”Jacob, you...” Louis shut the laptop loudly. If he had been able to, he would certainly have punched Jacob in his mouth now.

Noticing Louis's exasperation, Jacob seemed to have reached his goal. He smiled and said, ”I do enjoy watching you squirm like that.”
