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

Chapter 40 Let's Go Home

Julian's composure also reassured Susan.

She bit her lower lip. "I...I want to go and look for my brother too."

"I'll go with you." Julian did not stop her and held her hand instead. His palms were very warm which helped quieten Susan's fluttering heart.

A single call from Julian had hundreds of people holding Jacob's photo and searching within 80 kilometers of the nursing home.

Julian brought Susan to go straight to the nursing home.

"You were saying that Jacob's condition suddenly changed yesterday," Julian asked the nurse on duty," Yesterday before his condition changed, what was he doing?"

The nurse recalled for a while before saying," Recently, Mr. Shelby could already do some simple reading. To help him recover as fast as possible, we regularly send a few copies of newspapers to his room. Before his condition worsened, Mr. Shelby was reading the newspapers as usual. Then, suddenly, his expression changed."

"Pass me those newspapers," Julian said calmly.

The newspapers quickly found its way to his hands.

"Julian, do you see anything?" Susan was already very desperate. Even she did not realize that she was relying on Julian involuntarily.

When he frowned and looked at one of the headlines, Susan quickly glanced at it too.

"The Jenkins and the Ainsleys tie the knot. According to sources, the wedding reception of the Jenkins family’s eldest son, Luke, and the Ainsley family’s precious daughter will be held next Wednesday. The wedding will be held on the island of Bali on..."

In the newspaper, there were reports of Luke Jenkins' wedding.

Susan's pupils constricted, then she said, "Julian, go t o the Jenkins residence now!"

"Okay." Julian nodded.

Both of them rushed out of the doorway.

Then, it began to rain. It was early winter and the rain was chilling to the bone.

Susan's eyes were red as she rambled, "The people from the nursing home said when Brother left, he wasn't wearing very warm clothing. He...he also wasn't carrying an umbrella. This rain..."

"Susan." Just as Susan was about to cry, Julian held her hands. "Calm down. We’ll be there soon."

"Of course, you can be calm. That’s not your brother!"

She could not help shooting back at him.

Julian’s expression changed slightly.

Once those words left her mouth, she felt guilty, so she gritted her teeth. "Sorry, I'm just too anxious."

He shot her a side look. "I'm generous, so I won't nitpick on that."

"Thank you." Susan could not smile even if she tried. She could not calm down as long as she could not find her brother. Especially with the rain that was only becoming heavier, her anxiety was

worsening.

Finally, they arrived at the Jenkins residence.

Before the car could completely come to a stop, Susan had already dashed out. Julian chased after her with a n umbrella.

It was raining cats and dogs, but Susan recognized the person in the rain at once. She ran across like a madwoman. "Brother, why are you standing here? Come, let’s go."

Julian held the umbrella over their heads silently.

"Susan," Jacob said, "I need to ask Luke clearly."

"Brother, what's there to ask?" Susan became nervous.

"Initially, I only agreed to your relationship with him because he promised me that he'd be good to you forever. Now, he has abandoned you and is getting married to another person. I must get clear with him," Jacob said stubbornly.

"Brother!" Susan's tears gushed out. "You don't have to

look for him. I've broken up with him."

Her heart turned sour. Her brother could forget about the whole world, but he still remembered her. Even though he had mental problems, he still remembered t o support her.

"But, Susan, you like him so much.” Jacob looked at Susan sadly.

She shook her head. "That was the past. I like someone new now. That is...that is..." She caught hold of Julian. “Look! This is him.”

Stunned, Jacob studied Julian from head to toe and smiled lightly. "Not bad. He's better than Luke

Jenkins."

"You’ve got good taste.” Julian suddenly found Jacob pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, Brother, can we go now?” Susan tugged Jacob's hand, and this time, he did not resist.

At the nursing home, as Susan blew dry Jacob’s hair, she started to complain, "Brother, you really frightened me this time. You left all of a sudden without leaving any message. If I couldn't find you, I really wouldn’t know what to do. And the rain was so heavy outside. What if you got sick? And you walked s o far! Look at your feet. Why can’t you...?"

She continued to go on and on while Jacob sat quietly with a smile on his face.

The nurse looked at them and exclaimed, "Miss

Shelby, only you can handle him! When you're not around, Mr. Shelby isn't this obedient."

"Well, I'm his younger sister.” Susan smiled as she dried his hair.

"Susan, are you already leaving?" Jacob suddenly asked.

"I took a day's leave from the office tomorrow, so I can accompany you till tonight," Susan said gently.

"Susan." Jacob lifted his head to look at her. "Bring me home, okay? Everyone is a stranger here. It’s so boring."

Her heart trembled. Home? Did she still have a home with her brother?

"I want to accompany you so that nobody can bully you," he added.

"Brother..." Susan also wanted to stay beside Jacob, but she involuntarily took a glance at Julian.

"Why are you looking at me?" Julian raised his eyebrows. "That’s also your house. You have the right t o decide." 3

"My...house?" Susan felt an inexplicable emotion surge in her heart.

She calmed down and asked Jacob's doctor, "Can my brother go home with me based on his current condition?" "Mr. Shelby’s situation has actually improved tremendously. Firstly, his memory is recovering substantially, and he is basically able to take care of himself. Secondly, his dependence on his loved ones has strengthened which will help in reintroducing him back to society. I think that him being home for this short period of time may be beneficial for his recovery, but Mr. Shelby's heart disease has to be checked weekly. Once his mental problems fluctuate too much, he must be sent back here, and..."

As the doctor pointed out many precautions, Susan listened attentively and wrote the reminders in a notebook. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

After confirming that her elder brother could go home with her, Susan was thrilled. She packed Jacob’s things, then said with a broad smile, "Come on, Brother, let's go home."
