When Emily was pulled to the office by Jacob, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground to bury herself.

After her colleagues had seen them like that, who knew what else could they conclude from that.

Emily stared into Jacob's captivating eyes. From her point of view, she could only see a handsome and charming face, with a bit of blush on the cheeks.

Hmm…

What was going on?

"Emily..."

Jacob tried to say something but he struggled to catch his breath. He squatted and then fell directly to the ground.

"Jacob!"

Petrified, Emily screamed out his name, as she quickly got down to see what had happened, only to find out that the other party had fallen into a coma. "What happened to you? Wake up!"

The whole time Tina was there, Emily didn't notice anything wrong with Jacob. All of a sudden, everything changed. His face was as pale as the moon; she checked his forehand with her hand and found that he had a high temperature.

He had a fever!

Emily couldn't tell where her panic and nervousness was coming from at the moment. After failing to wake up Jacob, she quickly dialled 120 and then called Sam.

The ambulance arrived shortly after, and Emily got in with Jacob. She didn't have time to think about the office gossip she would have to face in the company.

In the hospital.

"Mr. Jacob hasn't had proper rest even with serious injuries on his body, so he has not been able to recover fully for a long time. Due to lack of proper medication, his unhealed wounds got infected, and thus, he has a terrible fever right now. In addition, the lack of sufficient rest will cause his body temporary shock."

Emily listened carefully to the doctor's words and wrote down some of the matters that needed more attention. She remembered the day when she and Jack had a meal with Jacob. Jacob mentioned that he was also hurt...

So it was true! He was not lying to her...

However, later that day, she hit him, but he didn't fight back or chase after her. Maybe it was because of his injuries, he would disappear for a few days without any word...

The more Emily thought of it the more she could not help

kles of regret in her chest were like deadly vines, tightly entangling her heart, suffocating her from within.

"Miss Emily?"

Sam looked at Emily's blank face, and regretted telling her the truth, in his heart. If Mr. Jacob found out, he would definitely punish him for overstepping his boundaries. "Sorry, my attitude was very inappropriate. Please don't take it to heart. I am just anxious......"

"Miss Emily? Miss Emily...... Why are you crying?"

Emily finally responded. She reached out and touched her face and felt the tears on her hands," ... I do not know either."

Sam assumed that he had pressured her into crying. He handed her a clean handkerchief. With regret in his heart, he tried to comfort her," Miss Emily, this was my fault. It wasn't my place to tell you that. Please don't cry..."

"It doesn't matter. Thank you for telling me the truth."

Emily's face was very calm. She took the handkerchief and wiped her face clean. "Well, thank you very much. I really appreciate it."

Sam stood there astounded, as he watched her walk towards his boss's bed. Finally he turned around to guard the door.

He realized that if Miss Emily was telling the truth, then it would mean that Mr. Jack was undoubtedly a heartless and conniving person. If Sam had not opened up to her today, Emily would have probably carried on living her life with a misguided notion, while his altruistic boss withered away into oblivion...
