Chapter 12 Chapter 12
Janice got into her car, soaked to the skin, and drove in the pouring rain toward Dapville. Jacob was a graduate student in Dapville. He excelled academically and received full scholarships every year, which meant she rarely had to worry about him.
Ever since their mother passed away, it had just been the two of them. Without Jacob, Janice would feel like living n meaning.

If that weren't the case, she wouldn't have endured Simon and the Fitzgerald family for so many years just because Hugh saved Jacob's life.
But everything that happened today, coupled with Simon's candid yet heartless words, made her feel that all her years of effort and sacrifices had been wasted on an ingrate.
She sped toward Dapville Hospital, driving above the speed limit.
Janice maintained a cold, stoic expression throughout the journey, focusing on staying calm. She couldn't afford to get into an accident
-not when Jacob needed her.
After the car came to a screeching halt in front of the hospital, she immediately jumped out and ran straight inside without finding a parking spot to park her car. However, in her haste, she failed to notice a car turning in behind her.
Janice was lightly struck on the leg, causing her to fall to the ground.
The driver of the luxury car was startled. “Why did this lady...”
The driver was about to get out to check on her when he saw her scramble to her feet and rush into the hospital.
"Mr. Moore, this.....
As Edward watched Janice run into the hospital, he said, “Check on her later.”
"Understood."
It wasn't entirely his fault, anyway. He didn't expect her car to suddenly stop and her to run out. She must have an emergency.
Outside the emergency room, Janice's legs trembled uncontrollably, so much so that she had to sit down to hear the doctors explain Jacob's condition.
They said Jacob had been in a car accident while taking a taxi to Greenfield City, and his injuries weren't as severe as the driver's.
Why would Jacob suddenly head to Greenfield City? Janice signed the necessary papers, asking the doctors to use the best medication available.
However, when it was time to pay, the cashier said, “Sorry, ma'am, but this card can't be used."
