CHAPTER 29

Christine gently wiped Jacob’s face, while Clairmont was cleaning the bucket.

“Thank you, Christine,” he said looking at her.

She smiled gently at him. “No thanks needed. I’m glad I could help.”

“I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through.”

Christine gave a sad smile. “None of that was your fault, but now, we’re both out of horrible situations and somewhere safe with people who care about us.”

“You are indeed,” Clairmont confirmed, walking back to the bed.

“Thanks for your help, Clairmont, but you need sleep,” Jacob told him.

“I’ll stay until Francis comes back,” the butler said, sitting down on the chair. “Would you like a radio or television in here to try and distract you?”

“I wouldn’t say no to a radio,” Jacob admitted.

“I shall find you one in the morning,” he promised.

“We could just set my laptop up, I can get the radio through there,” Jacob said, weakly.

“I know it won’t be for long, but see if you can rest, Jacob,” Christine suggested gently.

Jacob sighed. “I’ll try.” He shifted gently and grimaced, but then settled more comfortably and closed his eyes.

“If you want to go to bed now, you can, you know,” Christine said softly to the butler.

“Thank you, but I can wait until Francis returns.”

“I know Jacob keeps being sick to get rid of the silver, but should he look this pale?” Christine softly asked in concern, holding his hand.

“I’m not sure. We can ask Francis when he gets back.”
