Chapter 255:

Eileen’s mouth twitched as she watched Jacob act like that while holding Phoebe. She dipped her head and gave a soft cough. Jacob seemed too needy.

Phoebe had reached her limit with Jacob’s antics. With a slap to his head, she snapped, “Enough already. If you keep acting so repulsive, I’m sending you home!”

“What did I do wrong?” Jacob looked up and glanced meaningfully at Bryan. “It’s good to express one’s feelings, okay? I’m not like someone who is too stubborn to say anything.” Nearby, Bryan leaned against a window, a cigarette dangling from his fingers.

He shifted against the window, casting a casual glance at Jacob. “You know, there’s no helping a man who’s shameless,” he remarked.

Eileen’s recent rejection had indeed soured his mood, yet he couldn’t tolerate Jacob’s smugness.

Meanwhile, Phoebe and Eileen continued their conversation, paying little mind to the petty squabble between Bryan and Jacob.

“Jacob, don’t force me to slap you on your first day in the hospital!” She struggled to shove his head away, but as soon as she managed to do that, he nestled his head back into her arms.

In frustration, Phoebe tossed the banana back onto the bed. “Enough already.”
