Chapter 53 Are You Trying To Push Me Away (1/2)

Lying in bed, Emily recalled the conversation she had with Jack. He answered her questions without any hitch, but she still couldn't shake the feeling like something was wrong.

However, she decided not to ask anything else, fearing that Jack would get suspicious.

In fact, from another perspective, she was glad that that person was not Jacob, as it would mean that he did not get injured because of her. How nice!

But why was there still a faint sense of loss in her heart?

Was she losing her mind? Did she really want the person to be Jacob?

Emily was terrified by the idea that just flashed through her mind.

She thought about the days she spent buried underneath the ruins. The gritty details of her traumatic experience, brought shivers down her spine.

Meanwhile, she had to confess that, for a moment, she did feel something about the man who had protected her. However, today when she found out that Jack was the one who saved her, she felt a slight hint of relief in her heart.

'Fortunately, it was not Jacob...' she thought.

Early next morning, Jack brought breakfast to Emily's room after she woke up and prepared to feed her by himself.

”Your hand is still hurt,” Emily refused. But her attitude towards Jack was indeed much better than before.

Jack noticed that. He put aside the unpleasant emotions in his heart and smiled,” That's all right. But if you're worried about me, how about you feed me instead?”

Emily pretended not to hear him, and carried on eating her food.

In an instant, Jack's attitude changed,” Emily, you heartless woman! Do you want me to starve to death? How could you?”

Reluctantly, Emily stuffed his face with steamed dumplings.

Jack ate up everything within seconds and demanded,” More.”

”Your right hand is hurt, but what about your left hand?”
