Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra. It is shown that additive map ${\delta}:{\mathcal{A}}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{A}}$ which satisfies $${\delta}({\mid}x{\mid}x)={\delta}({\mid}x{\mid})x+{\mid}x{\mid}{\delta}(x),\;{\forall}x{{\in}}{\mathcal{A}}_N$$ is a Jordan derivation on $\mathcal{A}$. Here, $\mathcal{A}_N$ is the set of all normal elements in $\mathcal{A}$. Furthermore, if $\mathcal{A}$ is a semiprime $C^*$-algebra then ${\delta}$ is a derivation.
