Chapter 35 Pepper Spray (1/2)

Jack looked back at Emily, who was just looking at him, puzzled. Obviously she heard what Sam had said.

Jack feigned apathy, but his heart was screaming out in anguish, hoping Emily would say something to make him stay...

As long as Emily sincerely begged him to stay, he would stay. Even it would displease Jacob.

Emily stared at Jack, and slowly opened her mouth to say something as if she had heard the calling of Jack's heart.

”Go away.”

Jack was dumbfounded; his heart was broken. ”Emily...”

”Mr. Jack, time is running out.”

Sam reminded him from the side.

”I know. You don't have to keep saying it!”

Frustrated at Emily's reluctance to hear him out, Jack was so irritated that he stormed out of the ward and yelled, ”Go!”

Sam nodded, closed the door for Emily, and followed Jack.

Meanwhile, Jacob was sitting at the table, in the VIP room of the hospital. With his hands crossed, he observed Emily in the monitor. His eyes were as dark as midnight sky.

After a while, he opened his laptop and began to work on tomorrow's official duties. Occasionally he would look at the monitor to check up on Emily.

Several hours later, Jacob's cell phone rang. It was Sam.

”Mr. Jacob, Mr. Jack was caught in a car accident on his way to the airport.”

”Who was the driver?”

Sam paused and stuttered. ”It's Mr. Jack.”

Jacob sneered, ”Intentionally?”

Sam did not respond directly. He only said, ”I have checked the car, but I couldn't find any problems with it. Mr. Jack's explanation was that he got distracted while driving.”
