Dear Sweetheart Chapter 500

Chapter 500

Determined to stop the men from carrying the woman into the car, Jacob quickened his pace. “Hey!What are you guys doing?”

One of the foreigners instantly threw him a contemptuous glance. “It’s none of your d*mn business! Besmart and stay in your lane.”

Instead of fighting fire with fire, Jacob tamped down his anger and took out all the cash he had in hiswallet.

“I know you guys are just looking for a good time!” he said as he handed over a thick wad ofAnglandurn currency notes. “The money I have here is enough for you to party all week, and it’d beyours if you give me the woman. That’s not a bad trade, is it?”

Upon grabbing the money and realizing how much there was, the foreigner quickly shot a look at hisfriend, prompting the latter to push the woman into Jacob’s arms.

Jacob hastily caught her, only to be taken aback when he found out how cold to the touch her skin was.

When he looked back up again, the foreigners had already sped away in their car.

“What a bunch of sc*mbags! They won’t even let a poor, helpless woman off!” Jacob scolded.

That’s also why I love conducting business overseas. I feel no guilt in making money off these dregs ofsociety!

As soon as his driver arrived, Jacob carried the woman into the car and gave the order to go to thehospital.

Having seen how grubby and disheveled the woman was, he had to admit he was disgusted.

Despite that, he covered her with his coat out of pity and decided to leave after ensuring she was giventhe necessary medical attention.

“Thank goodness I got a tidy sum from a successful contract negotiation. Otherwise, I wouldn’t havebothered to rescue her!” Jacob muttered to himself. “There’s just no way I can recoup this loss.”

After arriving at the hospital’s emergency department, one of the doctors immediately gave the womana checkup. Upon peeling away the latter’s clothes, however, everyone was stunned to see the terrifyingclusters of welts and bruises all over her body.

Naturally, the doctor’s first instinct was to turn and glance at Jacob.

“It wasn’t me!” Jacob hurriedly explained in Anglandurn as he put his hands up. “I saw her gettingbullied and merely helped her out. Please don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not an abuser!”

Gosh… Domestic abuse is a grave offense in this country. If the doctor reported it to the police, I mightend up in jail!

Now that Jacob knew the woman was in such a dire situation, he no longer dared to leave. After all, hecouldn’t risk having the hospital go after him if something went wrong.

He ended up waiting outside the ward begrudgingly, only to feel his frustration building as smokingwasn’t allowed on the premises.

After about an hour, the doctor finally came out and approached Jacob. “Well, she needs to behospitalized, so make sure to pay the bill later. By the way, she’s also pregnant. I’ll help her as much asI can and give her the best medicine.”

Needless to say, Jacob was stunned. “What the f*ck? I’m not even her boyfriend! Why should I pay forher?”

“In that case, get one of her friends here to pay the fees before you leave.”

“How the h*ll would I know who her friends are?”

“Take her away with you, then!” the doctor retorted before walking off in a huff.

For a moment, Jacob was rendered speechless.

The hospitals back home are so much better. Even if there’s no one to pay the bills, they’d still do theirbest to help the patients. Foreign hospitals, on the contrary, are just heartless, money-grubbingestablishments! Argh! At this point, I’m ready to up and leave. It’s not like I’m running a charity…Haven’t I done enough when I spent money to send the woman to the hospital? Why should I also payfor her treatment and hospital stay?

Despite his anger, Jacob sighed at the thought of the woman’s sorry plight and eventually withdrewmoney from the nearest ATM.

Thankfully, once he had paid and arranged for the woman’s hospitalization, the doctors wasted no timegiving her the proper treatment.

Jacob, too, had decided against leaving and stayed in the ward.

When this woman wakes up, I’ll get her to call her friends over and pay me back for the hospital bill!

Unfortunately, the woman remained unconscious even after a long, arduous wait, so Jacob had nochoice but to cancel his flight ticket for a refund the following morning.

Less than an hour later, his phone rang.

As soon as he answered it, a woman shouted from the other end, “Where the h*ll have you gone to foolaround this time? Do you not want to come home?”

“Mom, must you always keep tabs on me?” Jacob grumbled. “Besides, I’m not fooling around! I’m on abusiness trip, and I’m too busy to go back.”

“Business? My foot! You only know how to eat, drink, and be merry!”

Jacob rubbed his temples and sighed. “Whatever. I’ll always be a useless fool to you, anyway.”

“All you need to do is carry on the family name,” said Jacob’s mother, Hazel bluntly. “Hurry back homenow. I’ve already made the necessary arrangements. Once your future wife is pregnant, I’ll leave yoube, and you can go wherever you like!”

“Give me a break, Mom! Why don’t you go on a trip if you’re bored? The women you’ve introduced tome are all so ugly…”

“Their families are filthy rich, though!” Hazel snapped. “What? Do you think you stand a chance withthose who are both rich and beautiful?”

When Jacob didn’t reply, Hazel added, “Find a wife yourself if you hate my picks that much! Once youdo that, I’ll get your father to invest in your company!”

“I—”

“Do me a favor and learn from Wyatt!” Hazel interrupted. “He may be playful, but he’s also a businesswhiz. Furthermore, I spoke to his mother a while back, and she said her daughter-in-law’s due date isin a few months. You, on the other hand, have achieved nothing! Even I feel ashamed to be yourmother!”

Jacob’s eyes instantly widened. “Wait a minute… When did Wyatt get a wife? Why haven’t I heardanything?”

“Hmph! He’s probably enjoying his married life. Why would he bother telling you? Listen carefully. If Idon’t see you back home, you can forget about setting up your company!”

“I’m your son, for goodness’ sake! Must you be so ruthless?” Jacob protested. “Hello? Mom, did youhear me?”

After being met with a bout of silence, Jacob looked at his phone.

What the h*ll? She hung up on me!

He pulled his hair in frustration, wishing he could take a cold shower to calm himself down. “WyattLopez, that b*stard… Why didn’t he tell me he’s married? Does he know how much trouble he’s gottenme into? F*ck!”

The next second, Jacob heard a sound from the bed and quickly turned to look. To his delight, thewoman was starting to stir and trying to open her eyes.

With that, he kept his phone and strode toward her.

“Well, d*mn. You’re finally awake after making me wait an entire night!” Jacob fumed. “What’s yourfriend’s number? I’ll call her over right now!”

Unfortunately, the woman seemed unaware of her surroundings, and her confusion quickly turned tofear. She glanced around, trying desperately to jog her memory, but the pain all over her body keptmaking her wince.

“W-Where am I?”

Irked by the woman’s accusatory tone, Jacob’s frown deepened. “Oh, come on. Are you fakingamnesia? Some men almost dragged you off with them last night. I was the one who saved you andsent you to the hospital. On top of the twenty thousand I gave them to buy you from them, there’s alsothe bill I paid for your hospital stay and treatment… Everything adds up to more than thirty thousand,but I’ll round it down to thirty thousand!”

Upon hearing that, the woman heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”

“No need to thank me. Just get your friend here to pay me back,” Jacob urged. “I’m in a hurry to headhome.”

The woman began uttering some numbers but stopped after a while, much to Jacob’s annoyance.

“Hey, go on. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten something as simple as a phone number…”

When he noticed the woman staring at the chair instead of him, he waved a hand in front of her.

“Look at me, miss. I’m not that scary, am I? All right. How about this? Your friend only has to pay metwenty-five thousand, okay?”

Without blinking an eye, the woman spoke up again, her voice soft and hoarse. “I can’t see.”
