What a joke!
Jacob had been unbeatable in the universe for hundreds of years. As the well-known Emperor of the Dark Realm, thousands of beautiful women were competing to spend a night with him.
He could have different women for a hundred years if he slept with 10 women every night. What’s more, all of them were the prettiest ones in their planet.
So why would he bother with such an ordinary woman on Earth?
Jacob would never tell her about her health if he wasn’t resurrected to the body of the son-in-law by adoption to their family.
Suddenly Kaley’s phone rang before Jacob could answer.
Kaley’s face turned pale when she picked up the phone.
“What has happened to my dad? OK, I’ll be there as soon as possible.” Kaley answered with a trembled voice and hang up the phone.
And then Kaley ran out with Fiona and Hayley.
Jacob frowned. From the memory in this body, no matter what the attitudes of Fiona and Hayley were, his wife Kaley never embarrassed him except she never slept with him.
Besides, his father-in-law treated him so well, as if he was his own son.
Now that he was resurrected to this body, there must be some special destiny between this Jacob and him. “Let me handle the things you left to me.” Jacob said to this body, sighed and followed Kaley out.
...
“Get out of our car!”
Fiona was vexed when seeing Jacob followed them to the car.
She believed the words of the witch that a wedding could make her husband better, however right on the day of the wedding, her husband went into a vegetative state, so from her point of view, Jacob was an ominous man.
And she even suspected that the witch was appointed by Jacob, and their aim was to let Jacob marry her daughter.
What’s worse, Jacob was proved to be a lazy and weak man. Fiona was extremely sorry for her daughter as she married such a man.
“Mom...” Kaley stopped Fiona from continuing.
Now that Jacob agreed to divorce, he was now a stranger to their family. She felt that there was no need to be angry with him.
They all kept silence during the way to the hospital.
In the VIP ward in the Riverside Hospital
“What happened to my dad, doctor?” Kaley saw several doctors around her father performing emergency treatments on her dad when they arrived.
“The situation is not optimistic, Ms. Harris. You’d better be prepared.”
Kaley was frozen when she heard what the doctors said.
Jacob looked at the doctors for a while and shook his head, saying, “It won’t work. You are accelerating the passing of his life, not saving him.”
Jacob’s remark, in a straight form, was “you guys were not professional enough to save him”.
“Who are you? Do you know medical treatments? Had you ever learned about first-aid?” One of the doctors glared at Jacob angrily.
The doctor was sure that Jacob was questioning their medical skills! As a professional doctor, how could he put up with it!
“Don’t listen to him. Please save my husband first!” Fiona was almost crying.
And then she turned to Jacob and shouted, “What did my husband do to deserve your curse! You are the one who should die, not him! Get out of my sight and don’t mess around here, otherwise, you will bear all the consequences!”
“Just go out please.” Although Kaley was not using harsh words, she obviously thought Jacob was messing things up.
She even thought that Jacob was acting weird because she mentioned about divorce. Now she though that Jacob was really disgusting, although she never thought in this way before.
“Are you deaf to my sister? Get out!” Hayley added, looking at Jacob with hatred.
At this very moment, the electrocardiogram on the monitor became a flat line.
“How could it be...Just now he is turning better...” The doctor who just yelled at Jacob opened his eyes widely. It was hard for him to believe what was happening now.
After a while
“Sorry, Ms. Harris, we’ve already done what we could.”
“You have my condolences.”
The doctors declared Brian’s death, and the last hope of the mother and daughters was vanished.
“It’s all because of you! He could have survived if you weren’t cursing him!” Fiona pointed at Jacob and yelling like insane.
“Is there a hope...?” Kaley looked at Finn with a pitiful look.
Finn’s heart trembled when he saw her like this. A glimmer of greed flashed in his eyes.
“Just let him try.” Finn said, however inside his mind, he was mocking at Jacob.
Obviously Brian was dead; he would like to kill himself if Jacob could save a dead man.
Kaley’s heart also trembled when she heard this. What if, even with a small possibility, Jacob was not bragging this time?
She asked in a low voice, “Jacob, will you save dad...really save him?”
Jacob nodded, “Yes, I need a kit of needles.”
Jacob could see that Brian was in a state of fake dying, his vigor was flowing out of his body, and now the medical equipment could not detect his low vigor, so the doctors thought he was dead.
However Brian would be truly dead if he didn’t start his treatment soon. Otherwise, even he could do nothing to save this poor man.
A kit of needles was sent to the ward in time.
Jacob took some silver needles, and inserted them into Brian’s body with a weird technique, without hesitation and without a pause.
He was stopping the vigor from flowing out of Brian’s body. It sounded incredible, but to Jacob it was nothing.
After inserting the needles, Jacob’s forehead sweated and his hand began to tremble.
It seemed that he overrated this body. He is literally so weak now. But the good news was, he had finished most parts and there was only last step left.
Jacob inserted the last needle into Brian’s acupuncture point, and inserted a little mana inside his body to Brian’s body through the silver needles.
“Do you want to continue with your hands trembling like this?” Finn asked. He convinced himself that Jacob was doing nothing but acting like he was helping. Finn could imagine Jacob would kneel down before him later and acknowledge himself as crap.
Kaley was also disappointed. She regretted that she was so innocent to believe Jacob could save her dad. She closed her eyes and accepted the fact that her father had passed away.
However, suddenly a digital voice rang in the ward.
The flat line on the monitor turned to curves and began to fluctuate!
