Deep down, it was just an excuse to comfort James. Even Jacob was taken aback and thrown into a loss. He didn't know what to do at that moment.

Various thoughts and scenes flashed through his mind all at once. He calculated every possibility and recalled everyone's face when suddenly, an idea popped into his head.
