The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 488 You're Not Paying Attention

"Is Anna... What's going on with her?" Jacob Shelby suppressed the feeling of panic in his heart and then looked at Seth Leeds frantically.

"She is in Room 302. You... You should go and visit her. I... It's my fault." Seth had a sorrowful expression on his face, as if his heart was in so much pain that he could not speak anymore.

Jacob did not care about everything else. H e turned around and dashed toward the stairs.

During the time it took him to go up two floors, Jacob's heart was surging with a turmoil of emotions.

After seeing Seth's expression, he wondered what actually had happened to Anna.

Had she gotten injured in the car accident?

Jacob dashed upstairs as fast as the wind.

Before he could make it to Room 302, all of a sudden, he saw the driver sitting in the corridor.

"Mr. Shelby." The driver stood up hastily.

"Anna..." Jacob was about to inquire.

All of a sudden, a stretcher was pushed out of the room.

The person lying on the stretcher was covered with a piece of white fabric, while the nurse pushing the stretcher appeared t o be very solemn.

Jacob's heart started racing for a moment and then sank to the bottom of the sea at once!

"Mr. Shelby, what’s done is done. You... You shouldn’t worry too much," said the driver.

'What's done is done...'

At this very moment, Jacob felt as if his soul had been stripped away from his body.

A smile that looked even uglier than tears emerged on his face.

She had only left his sight for a short while, yet she was already lying there quietly.

Jacob walked over shakily in an attempt to flip the white fabric.

"Sir, the patient has already passed away," said the nurse.

'Already passed away...’

Jacob's heart was a chaotic mess.

He raised his head and looked at the nurse with a deathly stare. "I don't believe it." "It’s true.” The nurse heaved a sigh. "She left really suddenly. She was still fine a moment ago, yet out of the blue... You're a family member, right? Look at you. What are you doing? You obviously knew that it was possible she might pass away from her condition at any moment, yet you weren't by her side. Now that the patient is gone, you seem to have rushed over quite quickly, huh?"

The nurse was still speaking, yet Jacob felt as though he was going mad.

Anna's smile emerged in his mind over and over again.

She had been so lively and brilliant, and her style had been a complete contrast to his ice-cold attitude.

She had been the sun that could melt all the snow.

She was not supposed to be lying still there without moving.

"Anna...” Jacob's eyes reddened at once.

It was his fault. It was his fault that Anna was dead!

Had he not driven Anna away in anger on purpose, Anna would never have been involved in a car accident and this incident would never have happened.

His sun had left him.

What was the point of staying in this world alone now?

He had made her leave so she could have a better life, not for her to end up lying there like this.

The driver beside him was dumbstruck from bewilderment upon seeing Jacob's agitated behavior.

Director Shelby of StarTech Co. was a huge iceberg.

Usually, if anyone saw any change in Jacob's expression, even for the slightest bit, it would be enough for them to brag about it for a very long time.

Now, the usually calm Mr. Shelby was suddenly behaving like a complete madman!

Upon hearing Jacob calling out to Anna earlier, the driver had realized that Jacob could possibly have misunderstood.

He could not help saying, "Mr. Shelby, uh..."

Jacob could no longer listen to the driver's words. He extended his hand and placed it on the white fabric shakily.

“Anna, don’t be scared. I won't leave you alone. Don't be scared. I'll come and be with you. I'll come to accompany you immediately."

Jacob pushed back the white fabric slowly. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

A young woman lay under the white sheet. Jacob's sorrowful expression froze on his face at once.

“Jacob! What are you doing here?" All of a sudden, a voice that was still filled with anger came from behind him.

Jacob suddenly turned around and saw that Anna Wright was standing there and looking at him coldly.

Anna's expression did not look very nice, yet at this very moment, Jacob felt as if he could see the entire world.

He turned around and ran toward Anna without the slightest hesitation.

“What are you doing?" Anna had yet to react to the situation.

Jacob suddenly hugged her.

He hugged her so tightly as though he would refuse to let go of her for the rest of his life.

Anna was stunned for a moment. The rage visible on her face faded and was replaced by confusion.

Jacob... What was he trying to do all of a sudden?

Even though she had yet to figure out Jacob's goal, faint joy began spreading in Anna's heart that made her feel like a loser.

However, her tone of speech sounded fiercer than ever.

"Hey, blockhead, what are you doing? Don't you know that it's improper for a man and a woman to touch each other? Let go of me now!

Jacob hugged her even tighter and muttered in Anna’s ear in his deep voice," Thank God, you're fine... Thank God, thank God..."

Way too many emotions were hidden in his voice.

Anna was rather confused. Was she supposed to not be fine?

She blinked innocently and then suddenly remembered something. "Blockhead, why were you crying in front of someone else’s sick bed just now?”

"No reason..." It was a rather embarrassing incident, so Jacob was planning to brush the matter aside vaguely.

Meanwhile, the driver exposed him. "Ms. Wright, you don't know, huh? Mr. Shelby thought that the person on that bed was you. His eyes reddened as soon as he saw the white fabric. His tears could not be controlled at all...”

“Shut up!” The driver narrated this with great pleasure, so Jacob could not refrain from glaring at him.

The driver immediately shut up and did not say anything else.

Anna looked at Jacob's slightly embarrassed expression and then cracked a spurious smile at once. "Hey, you’re actually capable of feeling nervous about m y well-being? Where's Blanchett? Don't you need to go shopping with her?"

Anna's flaunting expression encouraged Jacob, who bent over and picked Anna up i n his arms.

"Hey, Jacob, you..."

Jacob ignored Anna’s surprised gasp and carried her back to the room right away. Then, he turned around and closed the door.

Jacob placed down Anna. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Anna could not help saying angrily, "Jacob, what the heck i s wrong with you, you..."

Before her voice could die away, Jacob took a step forward and sealed Anna’s lips with his without the slightest hesitation!

Anna's pupils constricted as she stared at Jacob's handsome face in a panic.

Jacob... Jacob was kissing her?

She could not be dreaming, right?

Had the b*stard not just rejected her proposal?

Jacob loosened his grip ever so slightly and then looked at Anna with narrowed eyes. "You're not paying attention.' "You, you, you, you... You are harassing me, yet you still want me to pay attention? Can you stop being so demanding?" Anna objected subconsciously.

The corners of Jacob’s lips curled into a tiny smirk. "Then I shall kiss you until you pay attention."

Another passionate kiss landed on her lips. Anna still tried to resist for a moment in thebeginning.

However, that blockhead Jacob seemed to b e skilled in kissing even though he had not learned from a master. His kissing technique actually advanced by leaps and bounds within a few short minutes. Anna struggled for a moment before she was immersed in the kiss involuntarily.
