Chapter 139 - A Call from Mom and Dad (2/2)

”Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry, I just called him to talk about something that's irrelevant.” J forced fake smile thou they can't see it.

”Jenny... listen to me. Please, this time. Stop being stubborn and listen to Jacob. He will protect you. You should trust him. I and your mother trust him.” President Martin's tone became serious.

After a long pause, ”Ok, I will.” J's reply was short and sincere. She never doubts that Jacob will protect her. He already came to the point of killing someone to protect her, why should she doubt him.

”Good.” his father replied.

”Hmm... I should hang up now.” thou against her will she has to hang up but thought about something.

”Having Jacob around... do you think I can visit you one of these days?”

There was silence on the other side. ”If it won't work, I can...”

”Yeah... I guess it would work. But you have to promise me. You are not coming here without Jacob.” President Martin replied after a while which makes J smile with a sparkle in her eyes.

”I will. I promise.” then they both hanged up.

After she heard that the other line was off, the tears that she had been suppressing throughout the call started flooding her eyes. She melted down on the floor of the bedroom with her back leaning on the floor to the ceiling glass window. The whole room was filled with her faint sobs.
