Chương 113: Act

Jade was stunned by the appearance before her when she stepped into the room. Her eyes fell on the infusion line which was attached to the hand of the pale looking man lying on the bed, his eyes were closed.

Jade turned to look at Patrick who was standing beside her. The man was also surprised by his boss attitude, but he was smart enough to hide this, since he knew this was only an act, he shouldn't act surprised. The way Jake was lying on the bed like he was critically sick was so convincing that he was almost sold out to Jake's act.

"What's wrong with Mr Jake?" Jade asked with genuine concern. She didn't know it would be this serious. Just as Patrick opened up his mouth to reply, Jake's eyes fluttered and he let out a low groan.

"Mr Jake?" Jade called out softly when she noticed the sudden movement from Jake. Jake turned his head towards Jade and he flashed her a smile which Jade interpreted to be a fake smile made to mask his pain.
