Chapter 474 Jacob Is Still Alive (1/2)

Jack couldn't bring himself to turn a blind eye towards the pain that Emily was suffering.

He couldn't help recalling the good old days. At that very moment, he saw his young self making a promise to Emily. He promised that he would protect her forever. But, he broke that promise.

He wanted to shelter her from the storm, but it was him that brought about gale force winds and hail right to her doorstep.

Weeping, Emily pleaded, ”Jack, save me. Please.” Torrents of tears were flowing from her eyes, as if all hope was lost.

”Stop!” Jack howled to stop the team of doctors just in time as the needle was inches away from Emily's arm.

”Mr. Gu?” One of the doctors seemed to be trying to say something.

But Jack ignored him and declared defiantly, ”There will be no injection today.”

Looking quizzically at each other, the doctors finally gathered up their things after realizing their boss was serious. They left the room one by one, leaving only Jack and Emily.

Emily hadn't gotten over the fear yet. Every pore on her body was laden in cold sweat and she trembled at every motion around her.

Jack walked on over and untied the ribbon tied to her arm. Then he took her into his arms, rubbing her back in a futile attempt to comfort her, ”It's alright now. Don't be afraid. Nobody will hurt you any more.”

But, it was he who hurt her the most.

”Jack… I…” Emily buried herself in Jack's arms. She had lost her strength, drained from the terrible situation moments before. Her voice was choked with sobs, ”I'm begging you. I don't want to forget everything. I don't...”

Jack just held her in silence.

Like her, he had his own internal pain. He was struggling deep inside.

”Nobody has the right to rob me of my memories…” Emily firmly gripped his coat and emphasized each word, ”An Emily without her memories is not Emily at all. She's just an empty husk that you piece together after shattering it…. So tell me, do you want me dead?”
