Surviving Heartbreak novel

---- Chapter 10 Jacob called Penelope's number once again, only to find out that her number was no longer in service. Was she so mad at him that she ended up blocking his number? Almost immediately , he recalled the way Penelope had sounded during her last call. "Jacob, come over to the hospital right now! Someone's-" Having realized that something was off, Jacob rushed to the hospital right away.

That was when he found out that Penelope had left right after dealing with the discharge procedures. With his heart now tense, Jacob strode into the security room right away. "Men, I want you to check all the security footage of this hospital and find out where my wife has gone!" Jacob's assistants spent the next four hours going through the footage. Yet, they couldn't find anything at all. Meanwhile, Jacob kept smoking non-stop.

He berated, "How can a patient disappear from the hospital without leaving behind any traces? Keep searching!" His friends were quick to arrive at the scene once they ---- received the news. They began discussing among themselves. "Jake, I think Penelope was most likely faking it when she called you for help! She just wanted you to worry about her! If you choose to ignore her, she'll eventually come out of hiding!" "Penelope has a black belt degree in taekwondo .

No one would be able to kidnap her. Seriously, you're overthinking this!" "Jake, Penelope loves you with all her heart, so there's no way she'll be able to stay mad at you for long. I'm willing to bet that she'll deliver breakfast to you in half an hour, tops." Jacob turned to look at the VIP ward's door eagerly." You guys are right; Penny will definitely come here.

No matter how mad she is at me, she can't bear to let me starve." But Penelope never showed up even though Jacob waited until noon. That was when Michael walked over. "Sir, Ms. Fitzroy is having a stomachache. Would you like to visit her?" Jacob just stared at his phone quietly , as though he didn't hear Michael's words at all. Michael had to repeat himself a few times before Jacob was forcibly snapped out of his stupor.

He hoisted Michael by the collar while exclaiming ---- impatiently, "You found my wife, right? Where is she? 0 "No, that's not the case." Michael repeated himself one last time before asking tentatively, "Are you going to visit Ms. Fitzroy?" Jacob forced himself to perk up. "Yes." After having lunch with Rebecca , Jacob left the ward. His smile faded. Jacob began calling Penelope's friends one by one.

Everyone either told him that they hadn't seen Penelope for the day, or they had no idea where she was. Jacob tugged off his tie in frustration. "Michael, send word to my enemies that I'm willing to offer 100 million dollars in exchange for my wife. Those with information of her whereabouts must call me right away." Ashort while later, Michael jogged back to Jacob's side with a serious expression. "Sir, I've asked everyone. They all claimed to not have seen Mrs.

Thornton at all." "Wait, so my enemies never kidnapped her?" Jacob hurled his phone away angrily. "Then where the hell did she go?" "She must have gone into hiding!" One of Jacob's friends sounded furious. "Jake, you've been ---- pampering Penelope for far too long! Rebecca almost lost her child because of Penelope, you know! To make things worse , Penelope is childish enough to run away from home! "What's she trying to prove by making herself out to be the victim?

Seriously, that woman is too much! Jake, once Penelope returns, you need to set some rules and boundaries! Otherwise, she'll definitely cause more trouble for you next time!" The memory of Rebecca rolling around on the floor while clutching her stomach made Jacob's expression go cold. "Tt's true that I've spoiled Penelope to the point that she's forgotten her place. Everyone , stop searching for her. I'd like to see how long she can last out there without coming home."
