61. Unrequited Love

"Jacob, mommy and daddy are fine. Please, don't think badly of your dad. He's a very busy person but cares about us. Your dad is tough but he will never hurt me." Said the woman.

The boy who was spoken to, just kept quiet, did not argue with his mother's words nor did he agree with it. Between his father and mother, Jacob is closer to his mother. Angela listened from behind the walls of the room in their very clear voices.

"Oh Jacob, what date is it?" The woman suddenly asked her son. And, Angela suddenly frowned. The blue-eyed woman looked at the watch on her left hand to see the date and day listed there. The 14th. Angela just remembered that Jacob will experience a very important thing in his life every 15th. Angela thought, what would a teenage Jacob do on the 15th?

"Hey, what are you doing here? Can you get out of bed already?" Ray suddenly stood next to Angela and startled the woman who was still holding the IV bottle pole in her right hand.
