The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2151

After another grueling forty-eight hours at the office, Jacob finally made it back home for dinner.

"The doctor recommended an acupuncturist who's made a couple of house calls for your mom in the past few days. She's been a lot more lucid," Graham remarked, looking noticeably better himself.

Jacob slurped his soup and then dug into the meal with gusto.

An acupuncturist...

Larkin was a name that even in the acupuncture circles was well-regarded.

The Carter family, with their profound knowledge of Eastern medicine, had quite the knack for it.d2

"Easy there, son," Graham said softly. "The company didn't get like this overnight, Jacob. You can't rush things. Take it slow."

Jacob was pushing himself too hard. It was the talk of the town, and word had reached Graham's ears.

"Dad, I can't stop now," Jacob said, his eyes downcast. "Whenever I have a spare moment, the agony is unbearable. Her memory is in everything here."

Graham's hand trembled slightly, filled with guilt. He opened his mouth to speak but found himself unable to offer any words of comfort.

"It's my fault, forcing you to come back."

"Let's not talk about that," Jacob shook his head.

Graham sighed inwardly and shifted the conversation, "I've had quite a few visitors these last couple of days."

"Yeah?" Jacob nodded, showing interest.

"Sanderson's son and daughter both stopped by."

"Dad, I only dealt with Sanderson himself. That was mercy enough," Jacob said calmly. "Sanderson's family played no small part in the harm that came to our family. They're not clean by any stretch. If I went after them, they'd end up worse off than Sanderson."

Graham pondered for a moment before replying, "You have your plans, and I'm behind you all the way. Once your mother is a bit better, I'm thinking of taking her on a trip. I'm tired of all these sordid characters."

"A cruise, maybe?" Jacob suggested, putting down his fork. "I came across some brochures recently. There's a 200-day cruise next month. I'll have someone arrange it for you."

"That does sound like fun."
