Chapter 39 Jacob Is Absent

• After listening for some time, Susan's face underwent a significant transformation. "What? Have the symptoms of my older brother gotten worse? I'll be over right now. She snatched her coat and ran out. Julian took hold of her arm and scowled. "What is it?" "The nursing home phoned and said they aren't sure what sparked his schizophrenia symptoms to grow more serious,” Susan whispered anxiously, "I need to hurry over now." The moment he realized how much Jacob meant to Susan, he responded, "I'll send it to you." She nodded immediately. "I’ll have to trouble you then." As quickly as he could, Julian sent her to the nursing home.
• When they arrived at the house, she hurried inside. The only family she had in this world was her older brother. "Please be alright, brother." Be okay, please. "You're here, Miss Shelby!" At the entryway, the nurse was already waiting for her. "Something seems to have triggered Mr. Shelby this afternoon," she stated after seeing Susan. He continued to type on the keyboard. We weren't too worried about it at first, but he has been typing for five hours now. He refuses to eat or sleep, despite our best efforts to stop him. We reached out to you because we're concerned that his health may suffer if this keeps up." Susan nodded and opened his room door.
• Jacob sat cross-legged on the bed and typed hard under the moonlight. He did not appear to be the kind and kind person he was. His eyes showed signs of lunacy, and his fingers were typing so fast that it seemed like they were flying over the keyboard. "He has spent the last five hours acting in this manner. He will attack us madly by hurling whatever he can get his hands on, even harming himself in the process, even though we are anxious about his physical safety. The nurse went on to say, "We called you because we're at our wits' end." "Brother..." Susan's heart shook as she glanced at Jacob.
