Chapter 422 Perfect For Each Other (1/2)

Dark clouds loomed over the horizon as Jacob walked out from the hospital on that humid afternoon. The weather seemed to matched his gloomy mood today. He got the result, and it was worse than he expected.

He was lost in thoughts. He was worried about what his psychiatrist had told him earlier.

”Mr.Gu, your condition is getting worse every day. You badly need to pay attention to your health before it's too late… you can still do something about it…” The psychiatrist said to him in empathy.

Even Jacob couldn't understand his own behaviour these days. So he handed the pills he had been taking recently in hopes for further instruction on how to take them effectively. But to his surprise, his psychiatrist quickly found out that these were the wrong kind of medicine.

Jacob stared into the distance, and when he looked up, he saw clouds rolling over the mountain and suddenly his face formed a sarcastic grin.

He hadn't been himself quite lately. He felt someone was controlling him and he was struggling to get away from whatever it was but failed, until the night when Emily hit him with a lamp.

She hit him so hard on his forehead that the blood gushed from it.

At that very moment, he woke up and realized what he was doing. He was hurting the woman he loved to whom he promised that he would never hurt her.

Jacob was well aware of what Emily was doing with her psychiatrist behind his back but he let her be. After all, Emily was always right. She could always sense if something was wrong with him. All this time, he thought it was just bec
