According to the laws of Dorland, kidnapping and murder were punishable by the death penalty.
Amos left after reporting the matter.
Blair did not go to work as it was the weekend. Mable wanted to avoid seeing him at home, so she went to the hospital after breakfast.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Jacob's condition had stabilized. He could start rehab after another week of observation.
When Mable went to the ward to see him, Hannah happened to be there too.
As the two quarreled, the atmosphere in the ward was slightly awkward.
"Dr. Jefferson, you're here."
Compared to last time, Hannah's attitude toward Mable was much better.
Mable nodded and asked Jacob, "How do you feel today?"
"Not bad."
Mable gave him a checkup and talked to him about some things he would be doing during rehab at a later stage.
In the end, she added, "Before you go through rehab, it's best to massage your legs for an hour or two every day. There's a physio center in Richworth with skilled practitioners. You can book an appointment there."
"Okay. Thank you, Dr. Jefferson."
Hannah took her phone and went forward. "Dr. Jefferson, can I add you on WhatsApp? It's so I can ask you for advice if Jacob has any problems with his rehab."
Mable thought about it and did not refuse. She took out her phone and added her on WhatsApp.
"Thank you, Dr. Jefferson."
"You're welcome."
Mable left after checking on Jacob.
Hannah looked at the cold Jacob and pouted. "Later today, I'll contact the place Dr. Jefferson mentioned and make an appointment. Then-"
Jacob coldly interrupted her. "Hannah, you don't need to worry about me. Do what you need to do, and don't come tomorrow."
Hannah sat by the edge of the bed and crossed her arms. "I'm not busy. I just want to take care of you!"
"You..."

Jacob's face turned colder.
He was wondering why his family had not come to the hospital lately. It turned out they had discussed it with her.
"There are nurses in the hospital. I don't need you."
"How can they be as attentive as me?"
Hannah stared at him with her big watery eyes. "Jacob, are you... embarrassed because I helped you to the bathroom last night?" Jacob's face darkened at the thought of last night's embarrassment. "Hannah, you're a woman. Aren't you shy?!"
Hannah was thick-faced and stuck

Jacob clenched his fists, speechless from anger.
On the other hand, Hannah smiled and stared at him. She liked seeing him like this.
Mable chatted with Ethan after checking up on Jacob.
A few days ago, Ethan mentioned her to the hospital director as he wanted to invite her to join the team. The director had no opinion, so he
formally invited her opinion et
Mable did not agree right away, only saying she would consider it.
After leaving the hospital, Mable was about to visit her grandpa when she met Howard in the parking lot.
Howard was straightforward. "Ms. Jefferson, you said yesterday that you'll treat me to a meal. I happen to be free now."
Since Mable was not busy today, she went to a nearby restaurant with him.
The two of them had just sat down and ordered some food when Mable's phone rang.
She took a look and saw that it was Blair who called.
Mable answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Mabes, did you forget what I said?"
Mable frowned and was about to say something when he spoke again.
"I'll give you a minute-come out! I'll be waiting for you at the door."
