Chapter 279

Jacob's eyes were burning with rage as he crushed the note in his palm, his mind racing with one name,Dr. Richard.

He rushed out of the hospital, leaving Mia behind in her weak state, his heart heavy with grief and fury. The cool evening air did little to soothe him as he stormed towards his car, fists clenched tightly.

He drove through the streets recklessly, the city slipping by around him like a blur while angry thoughts filled up his head about revenge. What right did Dr. Richard have to make threats against him? To threaten Mia?

Jacob’s rage overflowed when he screeched into his driveway and slammed the car door shut behind himself. He burst into the house slamming its entrance behind him as though inside there was some way of containing all this anger.

But it was useless.His wrath bubbled up in an ugly way, feeling alive and demanding action all at once.Jacob’s eyes surveyed the living room; they finally stopped on the phone resting atop a small table.
