Chapter 72 Jacob Suffered From Illness (2/2)

re was a hint of tenderness in his eyes now.

'Does he want me to feed him water?

Well, since he is the patient now, I will not refuse him.'

Emily brought the glass up to Jacob's lips and asked him to open his mouth. While he was drinking, he eyes wondered downwards. Emily had no idea what he was thinking about.

”I want to have some fruits,” Jacob made another request.

Emily felt indecisive, and she suggested,”Maybe a patient should not eat too much, right?”

Unfortunately, her effort was in vain, as one dramatic look from Jacob's big, tender eyes had defeated her,”Okay, I'll peel an apple for you, but since you're not supposed to eat too much, I will only give you one piece. Deal?”

”Deal.”

Emily grabbed an apple from the counter, peeled it and then gave Jacob a small piece. She did not want to waste the rest of the apple so she cut them up in small slices and ate them.

After asking a nurse to change the drip bottle, Emily sat by the sickbed again and looked at Jacob, who was also staring at her. It was strange how none of them felt embarrassed.

In the end Emily could not keep it down, and she chuckled,”Why are you staring at me like that?”

Jacob fixated his eyes towards Emily's face, contemplatively. After a great deal of consideration, he finally opened his mouth as if he had reached a conclusion,”You are not Emily.”

Emily laughed uncontrollably,”Are you having a fever dream? If I am not Emily, then who am I?”

”The Emily I know always hides away from me. She would never treat me with such tender care.”

Stunned and astonished, Emily felt slightly guilty and couldn't utter anything in return.
