Chapter 237 I Will Be Responsible For You (1/2)

Emily woke up, feeling dizzy and groggy. She lay on the bed, in a daze for a while, before she steadied her breathing, trying to clear her mind.

She could not help looking around and wondering where she was.

”Emily, you are awake!” A soft, familiar voice came from her right side, startling her. Suddenly, she became aware, as her heart rose and fell inside her chest.

Emily fought the disorientation and sat up quickly, and the soft quilt that was covering her slid down from her shoulder. Before she knew it, she was surprised to find herself completely nude.

'What the hell happened to me?' she wondered.

Emily's hands scrambled frantically to cover her body with the quilt. Then she looked to the side to see Jack, who was standing near the bed.

Jack was buttoning his shirt, slowly and methodically, as he stood in a relaxed upright posture. He cast a meaningful look at Emily, with all his masculine charms.

Emily, however, did not find any of it attractive. Instead, at that moment, she felt a wave of unprecedented panic.

”What happened?” she asked in a trembling voice.

Jack noticed the apparent panic in her eyes. His heart ached simply because she was repulsed by him.

He buttoned the last button, bent over to pick up the clothes scattered on the ground, and then he walked towards Emily. ”Just now... Have you forgotten what happened just now?” he asked.

”Just now?” Emily tried to recall what had happened before she lost her consciousness. The only thing she could remember was drinking coffee at the café, but everything that followed right after that was just a blur. Anxious, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. ”You used hallucinogenic agents at me and took me to this place, right? Jack, what the hell is going on? What do you want from me?” she shouted at him.

Jack handed Emily's clothes to her, which took her by fear and surprise, as she moved backwards, remaining on high alert. The light in Jack's eyes dimmed with sorrow. Without any explanation. he just burst out laughing. ”What do I want from you? I have gotten what I wanted from you,” he said, with a brazen-faced expression.

”It can't be true! I don't believe it…” Emily muttered and refused to believe his words.
