7 A.M. Mayo Clinic's ICU, Jacksonville, Florida
"Set, how's dad?"
"He's not stable yet, Sir Jacob. He's still unconscious." Set looked at Jacob and Freya's suitcases. "This is where you came straight from the airport?" he asked.
Jacob nodded and sat in the chair. He bowed his forehead. Freya immediately sat next to him and patted his shoulder.
"Sir Jacob, you need to rest first," Set suggested.
"I can't rest until papa is okay. He's between life and death, Set. I know it already happened a few times but this one is different. It's crucial." Jacob leaned back in the chair and looked up at the ceiling. "I will pray again that God will save papa again even though he is a bad weed."
"How about Sir Jackson? Is he in jail—"
Jacob sighed. He shook his head as he glared at Set.
"What did you say, Set?" Freya said in shock as she sat in the chair beside Jacob.
"Do-don't you know?" Set looked at Jacob and Freya alternately. He did not understand what Jacob was signaling to him. "That's why senior is here now because of Sir Jackson. The police caught him right at Marcus' residence," he added.
Freya frowned. She slowly turned to Jacob. "Is that the reason why we left so quickly? Are you the reason why your brother is in jail?"
"Ma'am Freya, Mrs. Rhea Marcus is the reason why Sir Jackson is in police custody. It can't be don–"
Jacob couldn't stop Set's mouth because he was looking at Freya. He didn't even notice his boss’ signals not to talk about what happened that day.
"SET, ENOUGH!" Jacob shouted loudly.
Freya's eyes widened as she held her one hand to her chest. She was surprised by Jacob’s loud cry.
"J-Jacob, what's wrong with you?" Freya asked worriedly while looking at Jacob. She tilted her head to Set’s direction. "Continue what you were saying earlier, Set," she said.
Set couldn't figure out what was going on. He wondered why Jacob suddenly became angry with him. He also wondered why Freya had no idea about what happened to Jackson. In fact, she even attended the gathering while he did not.
"Set, why did Mrs. Marcus send Jackson to the police?" Freya asked curiously. She couldn't think of a reason why Mrs. Marcus did it. If anyone should put Jackson in jail, it's her…She and Jacob.
Set looked at Jacob. He was almost terrified when he saw how his boss looked at him sharply.
"I. I don't know, Ma'am Freya," Set lied. Now he understood why Jacob was angry with him. 'Ma'am Freya doesn't know the truth yet. Why hasn't Sir Jacob told her yet? The problem of LNGC would be over! I know that Ma’am Freya will help the Grays when she finds out that she is the daughter of Mrs. Rhea Marcus,' Set said dumbly.
"Jacob, I know you know something. Tell me now. I will let it slide. Your lies and barber’s tale to me that day if you are going to tell me everything now," Freya said seriously.
Jacob took a deep breath.
"Jacob, we have an agreement. Be transparent with me or else, everything will become void. Why did you insist–"
"Jackson killed Rhea's only child. Are you happy now?" Jacob responded furiously.
Freya was speechless at what she discovered. She was not surprised that Jackson had killed someone else. What shocked her was that one of his victims was Marcus's own child!
"Do-Does Mrs. Rhea have a child? I thought, she's not capable of having one? Is that her reason why she's so mad at the Grays? Is that the lone reason why she's harassing LNGC?" Freya asked one after the other.
"Wife, can we talk about it at the hotel? We are here for papa," Jacob said.
"There's one more thing I don't understand, Jacob. Why do you have to keep it a secret from me? Why don't you want me to witness how the police arrested Jackson?" Freya suddenly remembered that they had met some police before they finally left the Marcus mansion. She laughed. Why did she believe what Jacob had said to her back then? Will anyone attend the party wearing a blue coat?
"Wife," Jacob said, calmly.
"You are so consistent, Jacob. O can't believe you! Now, I don't know if I can still trust you. Just let me know when papa wakes up. I'm going to rest at the hotel." Freya took her suitcase. She decided to leave the hospital first because she could no longer control her mouth because of her wrath. She doesn’t want to be able to say anything bad to her husband. She was about to step away when Jacob suddenly grabbed one of her hands.
"Don't leave me, wife. I… I need you now. I need you here. Please. Let's settle everything later." Jacob's tears began to fall down.
"I'm sorry, Jacob. I can't believe even a single word from you, anymore. I will try to figure out everything on my own. I have changed my mind. I am not going to the hotel. I am going back to the Philippines, " Freya said, removing Jacob's hand that was holding her hand.
"Wife, please. Do not leave me. I am in the darkest phase of my life. Papa is in critical condition. I am sorry if I lied. If you want me to kneel before you, I will do it. Just don't leave me here. Alone. Please, wife. I love you," Jacob pleaded.
Freya closed her eyes tightly. Her eyes widened when she felt her husband kneel down.
"S-Sir Jacob," Set said in surprise.
"Freya, please. Don't go. You are my safe place. You are the only person who can calm the storm within me. I can handle all the problems that will come because I am by your side. Because you are beside me. Don't leave me, please." Jacob's tears continued to fall. All the pain and problems he was trying to avoid and hide slapped his face at that time. As much as he wanted to stop his sobbing, he couldn't do anything. His true emotions started to resurface.
Freya couldn't understand why she suddenly faced Jacob. She hugged him without knowing why. She was angry because he owed her a lot of explanations, but she seemed to be the one who feels guilty now.
Jacob cried like a child while Freya hugged him. He suddenly missed his Mama Josie's warm and comforting hug. When he was young, when he got sick, he didn't take the medicines that his mother bought him because he didn't like the taste of them. For young Jacob, his Mama Josie's love and hugs were better medicine than the drugs and chemicals that can be bought at the local pharmacy. He felt that feeling again when Freya hugged him.
"T-Thank you, wife. Thank you for staying by my side despite my shortcomings and mistakes. Thank you for your warm hug. Thank you for calming the storm within me. Thank you—" Jacob's cheeks became filled with tears that came from Freya's eyes and his. He slowly looked up at her and was surprised when he suddenly kissed her. It was a deep kiss.
Set turned around while smiling. "Sir Jacob is lucky to have Freya around! I can feel their love for each other," he whispered.
After that passionate kiss both Freya and Jacob fell silent. Freya suddenly looked away.
"I-I'm leaving first. I-I'm going to the hotel first to-arrange our things. I-I'll be right back," Freya said as she stuttered. She quickly took her and Jacob's suitcases and ran away.
Jacob was left smiling like a dog. "Wife...thank you! I really mean it," he whispered while touching his lips.
"Are you the family of my patient?" said by the doctor who came out of the ICU.
Jacob stood up quickly and straightened himself. "Yes, I am his son. How is he?"
"He's awake. We still need to do some tests on him but his vitals became stable. I need you to sign some papers before we conduct the necessary tests. Anyway, he's asking about your wife. He wants to talk to her before we go back to business," the doctor said.
"My wife? Did he mention why he wants to talk to my wife?" Jacob asked.
"No, he just said he wants to talk to her, and he even said he won't let us do any more tests if he can't talk to her," the doctor answered.
"Okay, doc. I will call my wife and I will ask her to go back here. Thank you," Jacob said as he smiled at the doctor. 
The doctor left immediately with the nurse. 
'Dad, what are you up to?' Jacob's mind screamed.
