Chapter 29

Author: Second Farewell
Jacob took the blow squarely on his left shoulder. Searing pain shot through him, and his vision went black for a moment as his knees nearly buckled.

Even so, he clenched his jaw, used the momentum of the impact, and seized the thug's wrist before wrenching it hard.

"Ah!" the man screamed in pain, and the pipe flew from his grip.

Jacob snatched the falling pipe out of the air, mustered all his strength, and brought it down hard on the man's knee.

The thug screamed and crumpled to the ground.

    A fresh burst of agony slowed Jacob's movements by half a beat. The thugs swarmed him at once, raining fists and pipes down on him like hail.Jacob had no room left to fight back. He wrapped his arms around his head, curled tightly into himself, and protected his vital points as best he could.He let the blows fall where they would.Just then, the phone in Dorian's pocket buzzed. He pulled it out and glanced at the screen. A message had arrived from the man watching the hospital entrance.[Amanda's car has entered the hospital grounds.]A surge of satisfaction swept through Dorian. He lifted his head and looked around.A moment later, he spotted a red Maserati sports car turning the corner and pulling into an empty spot nearby.The door opened, and a long, slender leg clad in a sheer black stocking emerged first. Then Amanda stepped out, tall and striking.She had dressed with unusual allure today in a fitted white knit top, a black pencil skirt, and sheer black stockings that

    Jacob took the blow squarely on his left shoulder. Searing pain shot through him, and his vision went black for a moment as his knees nearly buckled.Even so, he clenched his jaw, used the momentum of the impact, and seized the thug's wrist before wrenching it hard."Ah!" the man screamed in pain, and the pipe flew from his grip.Jacob snatched the falling pipe out of the air, mustered all his strength, and brought it down hard on the man's knee.The thug screamed and crumpled to the ground.The entire exchange happened in the blink of an eye.The remaining four men froze. They hadn't expected this mild-looking man to be so fierce."Damn it! Get him! Kill him!"The thugs snapped out of their shock, their faces twisted with cruelty as they swung their pipes at him again.Agony burned through Jacob's left arm, and he could barely lift it. But his right hand tightened around the stolen pipe. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a man possessed.He had no fighting techniqu

    "No... No, not at all. What's going on?" Amanda's voice softened instantly."It's nothing important. I just suddenly got a craving for the herbal soup from Chuck's Cafe. I don't know if it would be too much trouble for you..." Dorian's tone carried a careful, tentative hesitance."Not at all! Of course not!" The words tumbled out of Amanda's mouth before she even had time to think.Whatever Dorian asked of her, she never said no."I'll get up right now and bring it over to you!"She hung up and pushed back the covers, revealing a pair of long, slender, fair legs. She stretched, and the silk nightgown outlined the graceful curves of her body.She got up and walked into the living room.Jacob's bedroom door stood open, and the room was empty.'He must have gone to the hospital to see his adoptive mother,' she thought.Amanda pursed her lips as a flicker of irritation rose within her. Jacob really was getting pettier by the day. He had not even bothered to say a word before leavi

    Jacob let out a cold, mocking laugh. "Amanda, spare me your self-righteous excuses. Listening to them makes me sick."With that, he looked away from her and started to close the door."Jacob!" Amanda panicked and shoved her hand against the door to keep it open. "Why can't you understand that I mean well? Everything I do is for your own good!""For my own good?" Jacob looked as though he had just heard the biggest joke of his life.He stopped closing the door and fixed her with a dark, icy stare. "Amanda, I really should thank you. But I can't afford your kindness. I simply can't afford it."The door slammed shut, narrowly missing her nose.Amanda stood frozen in place, her heart aching at the memory of his final look and the words that had accompanied it.Why? Why had things come to this? Why couldn't he understand? Everything she did was to protect him and this family.But after a moment, she reconsidered. Jacob was probably just upset right now. Once he calmed down, he would

    Cornelius slammed on the brakes in fury. "Such a foolish woman!"Katherine's body lurched forward with the sudden stop, nearly sending her into the windshield."Cornelius! Have you lost your mind?" she shrieked as she hurried to smooth her tangled hair and straighten her dress.Cornelius turned to her, his eyes dark. "I'm warning you one more time, Katherine. Stay out of the children's business."And don't you dare say another good word about Dorian in front of Mandy. Don't bring up divorce either.""You..." Katherine flinched at the chill in his eyes, but her tongue remained just as sharp. "That slap today isn't the end of this."She snorted, turned away, and began furiously typing on her phone.…At the Guldner villa, Amanda sat alone on the sofa, still dazed from her father's slap.Once she had calmed down, everything that had happened at the hospital that day replayed in her mind, scene by scene.She remembered Jacob pinned down by the two bodyguards and forced into that

    "You..." Cornelius had no patience left to waste on Amanda. "I'm making this clear right now. Dorian has to go, and you need to cut ties with him completely. If you still insist on refusing to see reason and protecting that pretty boy, then fine. You don't need to concern yourself with the company anymore either. Just stay home.""Dad!" Amanda cried out sharply.Katherine could not hold back any longer. She rushed forward and planted herself in front of her daughter.Furious and frantic, she pointed at Amanda as she shouted at her husband, "Cornelius, have you lost your mind? You'd throw your own daughter out for the sake of that worthless man? Has your brain gone soft?"Then, as if suddenly remembering that Jacob had struck her, she wheeled around to face Amanda.Katherine pointed at her swollen cheek, her voice rising to a shriek. "Mandy! You don't even know what happened! That worthless man, he—""Shut your mouth!" Cornelius roared, cutting her off just in time."I..." Kather
