Chapter 293 The Ending Would Have Been Different
"I will treat Sara well, so please, don''t worry, mom. You just need to take care of yourself and I''ll handle
everything else, okay?" Jacobforted Tasha in a soft voice.
"I know the way you treated her before, but I will not talk about the past now. However, if you are not
nice to her, you will be facing my wrath. Even if it kills me, I won''t stop,"
Tasha threatened, ring at Jacob.
With a serious expression, Jacob looked at her and said, "I know, and I promise that I will be good to
Sara. I was stupid before, but I have changed since. In fact, I am apletely different person now."
Tasha nodded. Apparently, Carlos had already mentioned that to her. Hence, she decided to believe
Jacob''s words.
"Okay, enough talking! Let''s eat." Saying that, Carlos set the table and began to eat with Tasha.
He kept feeding her, and she smiled happily. Tasha too, picked up some of the food and fed Carlos.
Seeing that, Jacob and Sara felt that if they had been so loving before, then their lives would have
been much different. However, that had not been the case. Sara nced at Carlos, who was an
introvert and sighed heavily.
Tasha kept smiling for she had not felt that happy in a long time. For many years, she thought that her
life was cursed with mncholy, but now things were different. She had finally chosen happiness.
As Tasha watched Carlos pick up another spoonful of food for her, she felt as though she had been
taken back in time. She did not have to do anything back then. If she had not left then she could have
had a much better life now.
"Isn''t it delicious?" Carlos asked softly, grinning like a little child.
"It is, this home-cooked food is delicious!" Tasha replied with a bright smile.
Even if there was some resentment in Sara''s heart, it vanished before her mother''s smile.
Life was getting much better, and it made Sara happy. There were no serious problems, just happiness
in the small things in life. Perhaps, everyone had been looking forward to that kind of happiness. Even
Sara felt as though her dreams hade true.
Jacob sat beside them in silence, watching the couple eat happily. Perhaps, people only realized after
they were old that their achievements in life did not even begin topare with the joy of being with
their families and loved ones.
Moreover, it was never easy to find the perfect lover. It was usual for couples to fight every day, but in
the end, the love in their hearts triumphed whatever conflicts they had. However, some people always
fought, but they did not know what they were fighting for or what they truly cared about.
Fortunately for them, Carlos and Tasha knew exactly what they wanted. Although they had understood
it ratherte in life, it was still okay.
Sara stared at them in a daze, feeling pity for her father. After waiting for all those years, he got the
woman he loved when she was seriously ill. She could not help but wonder if her father was having
mixed feelings.
All of a sudden, someone''s cellphone rang.
Carlos and Tasha instantly turned to look at Sara and Jacob. It seemed as though they hadpletely
forgotten that they were in thepany of them.
With his phone in his hand, Jacob walked out of the room.
"Hello, Jacob, where are you?" Noah''s anxious voice was loud that everyone in the room wondered
what might have happened.
"I''m at the hospital. Sara''s mother has returned," Jacob said before turning to look at Sara.
Upon noticing his serious expression, Sara figured that something bad must have happened.
"Where is Sara? Bess has gone missing." Noah''s voice was shaky, as if he was scared. He had always
been good with Bess and they rarely ever fought.
"Bess is missing? Where did she go? What happened? Did you two fight again?" Jacob asked with
concern. He feared that something bad might have happened to her.
"What''s the matter? What happened to Bess?" Sara mumbled, feeling nervous. She overheard their
conversation and wanted to grab Jacob''s phone from him to talk to Noah, but she did not.
"Didn''t I tell you what happened? Well, after that, Bess came back to give me the money, but I did not
want it, and now, she thinks that I am angry. To be honest, I am not mad at her. You already gave me
the money, right? That''s why I did not take it from her as it would be pointless. And that''s the only
reason I refused her help. So, we fought again, and now, she has run away from home. I can''t find her,
and her phone has been switched off."
Noah''s face paled with anger, but he regretted that Bess was gone. If something were to happen to her,
then he would be burdened with guilt for the rest of his life.
"Don''t worry, tell me, where are you? Where did Bess go to?" Jacob asked nervously as he held his
phone with his right hand and looked around.
Sara seemed to have understood the problem. She did not know that Noah had taken money from
Jacob, but she knew that they had met a day ago.
She was just a few feet away from Jacob when she took out her cellphone and called Bess.
"Hello! The number you are trying to reach has been switched off. Sorry..."
Hearing the automatic response, Sara hung up. However, she called her number again and again, but
no one answered.
"Sara, Bess is missing, and we have to find her. If you are worried about your mom, you stay here. I will
keep you posted at all times," Jacob said seriously.
"That''s all right. I want to go with you, I am worried about her. She has never done something like this
before. And this is the first time she has fought with Noah, right?" Sara said with a sigh and nced at
her parents who were still eating in the room.
"How could they not have fought at all? Even if they were married, there would still be silly fights.
Besides, they''re living together, so..." Saying that, Jacob pinched her cheeks lovingly.
"Yes, you are right. But I thought Bess wouldn''t quarrel with Noah. They have always been so good
together. Anyway, I will inform my dad ande with you. Let''s go and find her." With that, Sara turned
around, walked into the room, and Jacob followed her.
After saying goodbye to her parents, Sara and Jacob rushed out.
It waste in the night, so they wondered where Bess could have gone.
The first thing that came to Sara''s mind was that Bess must have gone to her parents'' house.
The two of them met Noah and saw that he was contacting all his friends, asking for help. In fact, he
even wanted to go to the police. Watching him so badly worried, Sara sighed and was almost about to
laugh.
However, she didn''t say anything. After all, he was being serious andughing at such a time would be
embarrassing.

Seeing Noah asking everyone for help, Jacob also contacted his friends and asked them to look for
Bess. He even tried to get the surveince tapes from all over the city.
"Sara, why don''t you go to Bess''s house and see if she has gone there? It won''t look good if I go there
after having a fight. And it would be bad if her parents mistake me for hurting her. I don''t want them to
have a bad impression of me. But your situation is different, so you can ask them..."
Noah said all of a sudden. A thought crossed his mind that Bess would most likely have gone home.
Noah then called some of his friends and also some of Bess''s friends, with whom he had a good
rtionship, asking for help. The three of them stood on the side of the road, pacing anxiously.
Sara knew Bess well enough to understand that she would not have done such a thing if she had not
been extremely angry. Bess was a cool person who would never get angry about something
unimportant.
However, Sara did not know for sure because Bess''s anger could also be the result of the love that she
had for Noah. Perhaps, it was her feelings that pushed her to make such a rash decision. "All right,
then, I will take a cab and go to her house. You two keep searching for her and update me if there''s any
news," Sara said in a firm voice as she stopped a taxi that was passing by.
