Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 798 Jumping Off a Building

"Yo, Jacob, you gotta chill for a bit. You're all over the place right now," Selena said. Jacob curled up, his lips quivering.

"They were freakin' terrifying, man. So many guns, so many knives. My mom tried to crawl to the door, but they dragged her back. They were after something, something super important. A seal, yeah! With that seal, they can run the whole show. They want the seal." Jacob curled up tighter, muttering to himself, then touched his missing leg, his voice shaking again. "My leg's gone, my leg's gone. I gotta replace Selena, tell her I'm broke and starving." Seeing him like this, Selena felt a lump in her throat. "Now that you've found me, it's gonna be okay."

Jacob didn't say anything, but he seemed a bit calmer.

Selena took a deep breath, trying to keep it together. "You need to rest up now. I'll get someone to take care of you for the next few days. You gotta get your strength back; you're way too skinny." So skinny he was almost a ghost.

Selena continued, "Don't sweat the Montague family. I'll make sure Mia ends up in jail!"

"Okay, Selena, I trust you," Jacob said.

Selena gave him a smile, "I'm heading back to the office, but I'll check on you later tonight."

"Okay, okay, Selena, I trust you," Jacob repeated.

Selena nodded, got up, and told the doctor to give Jacob the best meals to get him back on his feet fast.

Only after the doctor promised did she feel okay to leave.

But just as she got downstairs, she heard glass shattering above her.

Suddenly, someone fell right in front of her, impaled on the streetlamp on the hospital lawn.

It was Jacob.

Jacob had jumped, right in front of her.

Selena almost collapsed. She didn't even check on him, just stared at the bloody mess.

Screams erupted, and nurses were shouting.

But the streetlamp's pole had gone straight through Jacob's chest, his eyes wide open, looking right at Selena.

Selena dropped to the ground, scooting back, feeling weak all over.

Doctors rushed to lift Jacob, but the blood just poured out more.

Selena saw the gaping hole and felt sick, dry heaving but nothing coming up.

Jacob died right there.

She sat there, too scared to make a sound, sweat pouring down her face.

After what felt like forever, she saw them lift Jacob's body. A doctor tried to lift his leg, realized it was missing, and quickly changed direction. The body, covered with a white sheet, was carried past her.

Selena tried to get up to see, but she was too weak. She fell back down hard every time she tried.

After a few tries, a nurse finally came to help her.

"How is he? How is he?" Selena asked.

"Sorry, he died on the spot."

Selena knew the answer before she asked, but hearing it confirmed left her stunned.

The whole Brian family was gone.

Selena felt nothing but pain. If Mia hadn't hated her, she wouldn't have gone after Jacob. Mia and Jacob had no beef.

Her tears started flowing, and she just stood there, frozen.

The doctor started asking about the body, but Selena couldn't say a word.

Half an hour later, she finally arranged for the funeral home.

She walked out of the hospital in a daze, only to see the lawyer again. It had been a few hours since he left, probably back for more negotiations. "Ms. Fair, twenty million dollars is still too much," the lawyer said.

"Get lost." Selena's tone was calm as she got into her car.
