"Bang!" And just like that, the last thought of defense in Jacob's mind vanished.
There was no way Jacob could refuse Emily. She was like a bittersweet poison to him – he knew it was bad and could only hurt him, but he was still addicted to it.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. But before Jacob could answer, Sam came into the room and said, "Mr. Jacob, Miss Emily, I have the doctor with me now. So, if you–,"
" Not now, Sam. Please leave us alone for now," Jacob gently interrupted Sam without looking at his direction.
Sam didn't say a word in reply. He just carefully pulled the door closed and left with the medical staff right away.
Several hours had passed and it was already evening.
Emily finally woke up, but she felt more tired no matter how much sleep she had. Her body slightly ached when she tried to sit up.
As soon as her eyes adjusted to the light, she noticed that there was no one in the room with her. She felt sad and a little disappointed at the same time for no reason.
Emily owed Jacob her life for saving her last time.
This time it was Emily who saved Jacob's life. 'I think we're even now. We owe each other nothing from now on, ' Emily thought, looking at the dark skies outside the window.
After she finally gained her senses, Emily did not waste any time and immediately got up to leave. She dressed up and left the room as quickly as she could. As she stepped out of the hotel, she abruptly stopped. A thought suddenly crossed her mind and without further thinking, she went to the nearest drugstore and bought herself some birth control pills.
Meanwhile, Jacob was on his way back to the hotel with Emily's favorite porridge. Inside the elevator car, he looked at the porridge in his hand and imagined the smile on Emily's face when she ate it. When he reached the hotel floor, he briskly walked to his room with excitement. But his smile vanished when he came back to an empty room.
He put the porridge down the table and scanned the room, hoping that his eyes were just tricking him. But Emily was nowhere to be found. He could still smell a slight scent of her perfume. When he looked down, he found one of Emily's earrings that she accidentally left and immediately picked it up. He held it in his hands like a cherished treasure.
...
Emily came home more exhausted than she usually was, and she was welcomed by Beryl. After having a small talk with Beryl, she immediately went to her room for some rest. She didn't have enough energy, so she just climbed to bed without changing to her pajamas.
Ina was the new babysitter highly endorsed by the Lu family so Emily had high regards with Ina's skills and trusted her very well. But little did Emily knew that Ina already threw her under the bus while she slept peacefully. Quietly she sneaked out and phoned someone as if she was spying Emily for some reason.
It was already late in the morning when Emily woke up. She was so exhausted from last night that her body clock did not work.
Since it was already late and she was not in the mood to face any of those troubles t
her face turned pale. "How dare you! You have no right to feel sorry for me!" Jennifer screamed uncontrollably.
"That's enough, Jennifer!" The cold voice came from Jennifer's back. The familiar voice made her anxious as the man continued to unmask her lies. "So, you're telling people you're pregnant, and that I am the father of the child. And you expect me to believe that?
If you want to tell that lie, you could at least be reasonable. Nothing happened between us and I never touched you. So how can I be the father of that baby?"
Jennifer turned around and saw Jacob's fuming face. Seeing his eyes full of disgust, Jennifer could only mutter in a low voice, "Jacob…"
Jennifer approached Jacob, but he avoided her indifferently. Jacob said sternly, "I am warning you for the last time, if you play any more of this trick, you'd only make me hate you even more. I won't be so polite to you the next time you do this again."
"No, Jacob. You don't understand. I only do this because I love you!" Jennifer pleaded. Her eyes were starting to fill with tears.
"Jennifer, please. You really disgust me," he said in a cold tone. Jacob looked at her blankly like she was just a stranger. He continued, "I may have played dumb about the DNA test you initiated four years ago, but it didn't mean I knew nothing about it."
Jennifer's face turned dead pale and she anxiously bit her lips tightly. She was caught off guard and could not say a word. She did not know what to do as Jacob unveiled her plots in front of Emily.
Jennifer felt vulnerable and embarrassed. She felt like a clown in a circus and Emily was standing there to watch her fall into her own trick.
At last, Jennifer had drawn the last straw of her friendship with Jacob. She stood there silently, still could not figure out how to get out of the mess she made.
Jacob was annoyed and warned Jennifer sternly, "Better stay away from us. You don't want to see your family go bankrupt, do you? So please behave yourself!
And get out of here now! I don't want to see your face anymore!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Bang!" And just like that, the last thought of defense in Jacob's mind vanished.
