Chapter 199 199: He knew it

Susan arrived home from work only to discover the house deserted.

The lights were turned off, and there was a pindrop silence that piqued her interest.

"Is he still not home?" She mumbled and hastily turned on the lights.

When she arrived home yesterday, Jacob had already fallen asleep.She didn't bother asking him anything and immediately changed for bed.

Susan had to leave the house early since she promised breakfast, and she was astonished to find that her husband was not inside.

She assumed he went out as usual, but a full day had passed and there was no sign of his return.

"Should I call him?" She hesitated and reached for the phone from her handbag, dialing his number, but to her astonishment, the call did not go through because his phone was turned off.

Susan was now concerned about where Jacob had gone, but her gaze rested on something, and she swiftly reached out to pick it up.

There was a note on the table, and as she opened it, she discovered it was from Jacob.

Shivers raced down her spine as she didn't expect him to leave a note, but as she read it, she discovered that he had departed for his homeland for a few days and would return as soon as possible.

The reason given peaked Susan's interest, and she folded the letter, preparing to call him again, but the phone remained turned off.

Jacob's departure was unexpected, and he did not discuss it in person.

After all these years, why would he travel to his hometown, and for what purpose?

Susan couldn't understand her ideas since everything felt odd.

She remembered last night's episode and was certain she saw Jacob in the hospital, but when she went home, he was already asleep.

Perhaps she was overly skeptical, and he did have some business outside.

But why did he leave immediately after Jonathan's accident? And what about the probe into who helped Tiffany?

Everything seemed to be connected, but she lacked sufficient evidence to back up her suspicions.

"Maybe I should wait until he returns. After that, only I could confront him," she stated.
