Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 433 It Was All Right

Jacob parted his lips, appearing poised to explain, but when he gazed into Yuliana’s eyes, he held his tongue and remained silent.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground.

Yuliana couldn’t help but draw a parallel between Jacob’s reticent expression and Sabrina’s.

In fact, Jacob not only resembled Sabrina in looks but also in character.

“Jake, I didn’t mean to blame you. But if you leave the school like this, your teachers and I will be worried about your safety,” said Yuliana softly.

“I’m sorry, Yuliana,” Jacob uttered. “My concern for my mother has me feeling uneasy, and I feel compelled to return and check on her.”

He refrained from asking the teacher for leave as he knew it was unlikely to be granted, given the risks. involved in allowing a middle school student to travel from Yrinas back to Juxshire at night. Besides, he chose not to disclose this to Yuliana so as not to trouble her with worries about his safety.

Before his transfer to Juxshire, Sabrina had advised him to cultivate independence during his studies there. He was urged to depend on himself as much as possible, not just in his academic pursuits but also in his daily life, and avoid leaning too heavily on others for everything.

Sabrina also said that she couldn’t spend her whole life with him.

At that time, he had simply presumed that Sabrina’s remark was a response to his need to adjust to living in the school hostel upon his arrival in Juxshire.

As he reflected on this, it dawned on him that Sabrina had likely harbored a predetermined plan all along.

Jacob clenched his fists, raised his head, and looked at Yuliana. He pursed his lips and asked, “Yuliana, do you know where my mom is?”

Yuliana found herself at a loss for words, unsure of how to answer Jacob.

There was silence in the living room.

then shifted his gaze to Jacob, whose complexion had turned an ashen hue, and delivered the grave news. “Your mother has been missing for nearly three days now. Your sister has already notified the police, but we’ve yet to receive any concrete updates. I’m afraid you shouldn’t hold out too much hope, as the odds are not in her favor,” he said in a somber tone.

hearing the news, Jacob’s slight frame trembled, his legs turning weak as he collapsed onto the couch. “It can’t be! It’s impossible!” Jacob muttered in disbelief, shaking his head vigorously. His eyes had turned red in an instant, and his hands clung tightly to the edge of the couch in a desperate attempt to anchor himself. Suddenly, a
