Chapter 71 I Am Disappointed With You (2/2)

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...
