Chapter 1675
She’s been clueless about the whole thing since she came back
And now, out of the blue, it struck her. Was Wayne ever this sick?
“Erica should come and see him,” Wayne suddenly blurted out.
Rosalynn instinctively furrowed her brows, shooting a glance at Jacob.
“I’ll try to get a hold of her,” she sighed softly. “You men are all the same, never appreciating what you’ve got until
it’s gone.”
Wayne stood there, looking like a kid who’s just been scolded.
Rosalynn firstly made a call to Orval Carter.
“Mrs. Silverman, have you all arrived safely? Orval seemed in high spirits.

behind their backs.
Though the Carters never gave a hoot about it.
But now, with Erica’s name cleared, Orval was over the moon!
“Yes, we have.” Rosalynn paused for a moment before cutting to the chase, “Orval, can you get in touch with your

“What’s up?” Orval asked quizzically, “He didn’t bring any communication device when he left.”
“I’m at the hospital, Jacob’s condition is critical,” Rosalynn said gravely.

“Is this because he’s grieving too much and it’s harming his health?” Orval whispered. “But Mrs. Silverman, isn’t it a
bit much to lay this at Erica’s door? We’re not cruel people, but I’ve recently found out about some of the things
Jacob did to Enca. I’d only say he deserves all this, wouldn’t you? Why should Erica sacrifice her honeymoon with
my uncle to go see him?”
“Whether Erica comes back or not, she needs to know about this, Rosalynn replied “She wouldn’t want Jacob to die

After hanging up, Rosalynn gave it some thought and sent Erică a message, briefly explaining the situation.
There was no response after she sent the message
Erica’s last Facebook post was a selfinkin in the Amazon before they left.
Rosalynn put away her phone and looked

at Jacob through the glass again.
Lenora, having been resuscitated, insisted on coming to be with Jacob despite needing an IV.
Upon seeing Rosalynn and Jacob, Lenora immediately asked, “Have you found Erica?
Her face turned even paler when she got a negative response.
She seemned to have aged overnight, shuffling over to the observation window and looking at the still silent Jacob.
Tears of regret fell soundlessly.
