Chapter 124 You Dont Deserve To Stand Beside Him (2/2)

All this had made her exhausted. With Jacob around, it felt like there was finally a safe place for her to rest. She quickly sank into a deep sleep, letting her guard down.

”Okay, I'll stay here with you,” Jacob comforted her, touching her soft face while looking at her with so much love.

Seeing him sitting back beside her, Emily felt secure and contented. She looked at Jacob like a little cat that was being taken care of her owner.

Jacob thought she was so adorable and couldn't help touching her face. ”Close your eyes, and have a good sleep.”

The medicine was starting to take effect. Emily was a little bit dizzy and sleepy. And she gradually fell asleep. This time, she didn't experience any of her nightmares.

When she woke up, Emily looked around and Jacob was nowhere to be found, which made her think that she was dreaming again.

Emily noticed that her body was full of sweat after the fever had reduced. She quickly got out of the bed. A savory smell filled her nose after she finished changing. Her stomach growled because of hunger.

”Come and have some food.”

Suddenly a clear and familiar voice sounded her ear. And Emily realized that she wasn't dreaming and all that happened today was real.

Looking at Jacob who was sitting at the table waiting for her, Emily froze in daze. She then slowly walked toward the table where he was sitting.

'If only that video doesn't ever exist and if only nothing happens...' Emily thought and sighed.

Emily now realized that she had already fallen for Jacob and that she loved him. But now, with her past, she no longer had the courage to stay with him. She had been trying to avoid and hide her secret. But she knew that she couldn't hide it forever.

Looking back at Jacob's handsome face, Emily recalled Tina's word again.

”You don't deserve to stand beside him.”

For more than 20 years of her life, Emily never felt this afraid and self-contemptuous about herself.
