The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2578

Jacob smiled and said, "Why are you thanking me? That time, didn't you do the same for me?"

Matilda heard those words, and her face blushed even more.

She whispered helplessly, "It's all in the past... You shouldn't be constantly talking about it..."

"Impossible!"

Jacob said emotionally, "I will never forget what happened that day, even till the day I die. After so many years, I have been wanting to tell you. It's just that I didn't get the chance. Now, a good opportunity has arisen, and yet you still want to stop me from saying..."

Matilda said helplessly, "I didn't stop you from saying i t... I just... I just..."

Matilda didn't know how to continue the topic. So, she sighed and said, "Hey, I was just thinking... If you come here after such a late hour, wouldn't Elaine be very upset if she replaces out? Why don't you go home now? Let's not make Elaine unhappy." 2

The moment Jacob heard her mentioning Elaine's name, he snorted coldly. "Matilda, don't mention that old hag in front of me. If it weren't for her, do you

think we would be like this? We would have gotten married and have had two to three kids by now!" 4

Matilda smiled helplessly and replied seriously," Certain things are fated, and Elaine is not to be blamed II

"Of course I blame her!" Jacob said in annoyance, "Over these years, whenever I think of you, my hatred for her would only grow!"

After he had finished his sentence, Jacob waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not mention her name anymore. It's too depressing to talk about her!" 5

Matilda hummed and said, "I guess I will slowly recover after taking a good rest in bed. You should head home too if you have issues you need to attend to at home. Go back early to prevent unnecessary problems."

Jacob didn't expect that Matilda couldn't wait to send him home even after he had just arrived at her place.

This somewhat hurt Jacob's feelings.

However, he quickly blamed all of this on Elaine and thought to himself, 'Matilda wanting me to go back is most probably not because she doesn't want to talk to me but because she is afraid of that b*tch, Elaine! Elaine is indeed a stinky b*tch that will haunt me everywhere I go!' 8

After thinking about this, he snorted angrily and said," I won't leave! As long as you are not healed, I am not going anywhere! So what about Elaine?! I am usually too lazy to even bother with her anyway. In my heart, she is not as important as you!" 3

In that instance, Matilda didn't know how to reply to him.

Right then, Jacob looked at the time and hurriedly said, "It's been five minutes now, show me the thermometer."

Matilda took out the thermometer carefully and handed it over to Jacob.

Jacob glanced at it, and he was a little relieved as he said, "It is thirty-nine degrees Celsius now. You measured it to be at thirty-nine point two degrees Celsius earlier, right?"

Matilda nodded.

Jacob happily replied, "It has dropped by zero point two degrees. Although the decline is not big, at least it has begun to decline. I guess if you were to lie down, eat, and take a good rest, you should be able to get better real soon. I will help you upstairs!"

Matilda hurriedly said, "Why don't I just have two bites of it here instead of eating it on the bed."

Jacob heard this and immediately waved his hand and said, "How would that work? Aren't you feeling uncomfortable? Sitting here is only going to be more excruciating the longer you sit. Let's go, I will help you to your bed. I will fluff up two pillows and put them on your back. You will feel more comfortable then, and eating food will not be difficult anymore. I can just

feed you!" 4

Matilda hesitated for a moment. Seeing Jacob's firm expression, she nodded and said, "Then... then, let's go ... Can you help me to the elevator?"

Jacob was overjoyed and couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Haha, the opportunity is here!" s
