Chapter 52 Lie After Lie (2/2)

Never in a hundred years could Jack have expected Emily to have an affair with Jacob!

”Yes. What's wrong?”

As a victim of the earthquake, she obviously understood the despair and pain in such a desperate situation, although, she'd rather not recall the memory of her traumatic experience.

”My silly girl,” Jack felt relieved secretly. Emily was so gullible that she believed Jack's words. ”I am willing to do anything for you.”

His words made Emily choke up in tears. It took a while before she finally was able to speak up,”Jack, thank you, I...”

Jack took Emily's tender hand gently and said,”You know, an apology is not what I want.”

”I'm sorry, I……”

Jack's grip on Emily's hand tightened. Having almost run out of patience, he wanted to ask her directly whether she had rejected him again and again in the past because of Jacob!

Emily, however, failed to notice his gloomy face, as Jack's grip was starting to hurt her arm. She cried out in pain,”You're hurting me...”

Jack instantly collected his thoughts, let go off her hand and forced himself to be more tender,”Sorry, please take as much time as you need, and I will wait for your answer, okay?”

Emily remained silent.

Jack did not force Emily to give him an answer at once. When he stepped out of the ward, his face suddenly turned dark, as the hatred in his eyes reappeared, like there was a bigger storm brewing on the horizon.
