"Oh!" Although Jacob felt a sense of disappointment, h e still had to pretend to have a sudden realization. He patted his head and exclaimed, "Oh! My stupid mind keeps recalling memories of the past and forgetting the more important matter at hand."
He then hurriedly said, "Matilda, please sit down and wait for me. I will get you the wet towel!"
Matilda hurriedly replied, "There is a bathroom on the first floor. Just make a left turn in front."
"Great!"
Seeing that Jacob had turned around and gone to the bathroom, Matilda finally felt a sense of relief.
In truth, Jacob’s purpose was very clear to her.
To be honest, Jacob was not only her first love, but he was also the man she had loved the most in her entire life. So, naturally, she has some fantasies and expectations for Jacob.
However, she was a woman who had received higher education and had been decent her entire life.
She knew that although Jacob and Elaine were separated for now, their marriage was still official. Based on this, she felt that she could not go against her principle knowing that it was wrong to be
physically close to a married man. 4
Although Elaine had shamelessly gotten in between Matilda and Jacob by having a sexual affair with Jacob, Matilda would not want to do the same thing in return.
Just as she sighed silently, Jacob had already walked over with a wet towel.
Jacob wiped her forehead with the wet towel and said, "Matilda, I brought you some easily digestible dinner. After this, I will help you back to your room, and into your bed. Then, I will feed you some food. Also, you’ve already taken your fever medicine, so I believe it won’t be long till the fever subsides.”
Matilda nodded. "Thank you for your help, Jacob. To b e honest, I'm really hungry. I haven't eaten much all day."
