Chapter 433 Jacob, Is That You (2/2)

Emily did not know whether such a method would work, but she was hoping for a miracle.

”Thank you, Mr. Lin.” She went to the riverside and washed her hands. Looking up at Magee, who leaned against a big stone waiting for her, she asked, ”Do you need me to send you back?”

”No.” He refused her. ”You go back first,” he said with a casual expression on his face.

Hearing this, Emily did not insist. She nodded, ”Oka

that you?”

As she spoke the man suddenly took her into a tight embrace, holding her so tightly as to rub her into his very bones. It was an act of passion filled with unreconciled longing and anger.

Locked in his arms, she was almost unable to breathe. She struggled desperately, and a gust of panic surged into her heart. She gasped, ”Let me go! You let me go at once! I am sure you are not Jacob!”

As if he hadn't heard any of her protests, the man tightened his grip. She fought back, biting hard into his shoulder, and drawing blood through his thin clothes.

”Hiss...” he gasped in pain. The man couldn't help taking a deep breath, and loosening his hold. Emily squirmed from his grasp like a fish off the hook, with a loud 'click' she turned on the light.

The room was suddenly revealed in the brightness. When she saw the man's face clearly, her pupils tightened in anger and fear, ”Jack!” she exclaimed. ”Why are you here? What on earth are you planning on doing here?”

”I'm sorry, Emily.” Jack's face was regretful and he said guiltily, ”I've come to apologize to you.”

He tried to approach Emily, but she scrambled backward, alert and weary, like a trembling rabbit.

”You come to my room at midnight to apologize?” she asked incredulously. Totally unconvinced, she regarded Jack with the same frightened look which prey animals reserved for predatory beasts, ”No matter how you got in here, just get out of here immediately!”
