All Chapters of The Best Is Yet to Come: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

An hour later, Jacob brought Stephanie to the gates of a cemetery. The night sky was clear moments ago, but now lightning flashed and thunder roared overhead. Dark clouds loomed over them, making the atmosphere heavy and suffocating. A chilling wind blew strongly, and Stephanie couldn't help shivering from the cold. She clutched Jacob's hand tightly, her voice desperate and pleading. "Jacob, why did you bring me here? This place is so creepy. I'm a little scared. Can we please go back?" In the past, Jacob would have felt sorry and agreed without hesitation, but now he ignored her request. He said coldly, "Follow me."Sensing his foul mood, Stephanie gritted her teeth and hurried after him. Soon, they arrived in front of a tombstone. The dark night obscured the photo on the tombstone. Stephanie was a little confused. "Jacob, why did you bring me here? Who is this person—"However, her legs gave out before Stephanie could finish her sentence. She collapsed, and her knees slamme

Lindsey never imagined that her reunion with her first love would be so sudden and unexpected. She looked at the man before her in shock. After a long time, she finally found her voice. "Zachary? You're Dr. Hudson's son?"Zachary Hudson gave her a lazy smile. "Yes."Zachary was the first person in Lindsey's life who had ever made her heart race. She was sensitive and introverted back in her university days. On her first day on campus, she stood at the foot of the stairs with her heavy luggage, feeling helpless. Lindsey could only watch the other young ladies who had friends or family helping them carry their bags upstairs. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to ask anyone for help. Just as she was about to drag her luggage upstairs on her own, a strong hand reached out and took it from her. He carried the luggage that was heavier than her weight all the way up to the seventh floor effortlessly. Before he left, Zachary took off her hat and chuckled softly. "Why do you always k

Compared to Lindsey's happiness, the Whitaker family had already fallen into complete chaos. After kicking Stephanie out of the villa, Jacob cancelled all her credit cards and announced publicly that he had cut all ties with her. Stephanie was met with rejection wherever she went without the Whitakers' support and protection. She couldn't accept the fact that she was being sent abroad by Jacob, so she lay in wait outside the villa's gates every day for Jacob. The moment he stepped outside, she would cling to him like a venomous snake.Throwing away all her pride, Stephanie kneeled before him and begged him to spare her another glance. "Jacob, please don't treat me like this. I'm aware of my mistakes. Just forgive me one more time, alright? I'm begging you. I know you're angry right now, but I can change. "I can become the gentle and kind Stephanie you remembered. I can change anytime you want. Jake… I can even go to Lindsey and apologize to her if you want me to. I can beg for

Jacob found himself lying in an unfamiliar room when he woke up again. Stephanie lay on the bed beside him, her bare shoulders exposed. The fury of being set up made him lose his rationality in an instant. He kicked the sleeping Stephanie off the bed. "Ouch!"Jacob clamped his hand tightly around her throat before she could even cry out. Her face turned purple from lack of air.Jacob's voice was cold and sounded as if coming from afar. "Who gave you permission to climb into my bed? Are you seeking death?"A second later, he flung Stephanie into a corner of the room roughly. She hit her abdomen on the floor, the sharp pain leaving her speechless. Jacob took out his phone and made a short call. Soon, a group of bodyguards burst into the room and forced Stephanie to swallow a contraceptive pill. "Take her to the hospital for a check-up. Make her get an abortion if she's pregnant," he ordered.Hearing this, Stephanie's eyes went wide with disbelief. Her whole body trembled viol

Lindsey remembered Edison's kindness to her back then, so she went to the hospital. Jacob was just skin and bones as he lay in the hospital bed. He seemed to have lost his will to live. Lindsey found it hard to associate him with the man she remembered. Edison's eyes were weary and sad. "He's been diagnosed with kidney failure. The doctors say he won't live past this month."She lowered her eyes and said nothing. On the way here, she had already heard his results from Zachary's investigation. Jacob's personality changed drastically after Lindsey left him. Day and night, he deliberately damaged his own health and body. He drank so much that his stomach bled, and the first thing he did after being brought back from the brink of death was to continue drinking. Was it any wonder that his body finally collapsed?Jacob stared blankly out the window, his lips pressed into a firm line. He stayed silent for a long time. The first person he thought of was Lindsey when he was diag
