Chapter 475 Stop Thinking About Jacob (1/2)

Emily busied herself around her lush garden. The sun was nice and warm. Leaves and flowers glistened in the sunlight. After she picked the leaf and made out what was written on it, she couldn't believe her own eyes.

”Madame, I've found a variety of flower seeds. Which one do you like best?” The maid appeared from nowhere and startled her. She opened her palm and showed Emily several flower seeds.

Emily hid the leaf inside her hand, and looked at the maid casually, and was relieved to see that the maid didn't even notice she was hiding something. In her natural voice she said, ”I think they are all okay. They are easy to grow.”

”Well, these sunflowers and Chinese roses are easier to grow. And...” Then the maid bent quickly to pick out more seeds for Emily. She also brought her the gardening tools and everything she needed to plant the seeds.

Emily's part was to dig, plant the seeds and water them. The gardeners would take care of them to grow beautifully.

But Emily was up for something, so she pretended that she didn't want to dig or continue planting. She returned the small shovel to the maid and said, ”I'm tired. I'll go inside and take a rest.”

”Oh. Okay...” The maid was surprised but kept quiet. Later on, she thought about Emily's sudden change of mind, and maybe she didn't really like to stay outdoors. Then the maid continued to plant alone.

Emily went to her room and slid under her blanket. Her room was painted white, and it was so quiet that she could almost hear her heart beating faster. She opened her palm, and read the words written on the leaf. The words were clear as day.

”Jacob is alive.”

Emily was catching her breath, and her heart was pounding widely like it would burst from her chest any moment.

Was it true? Jacob was still alive!

She couldn't contain her happiness after seeing these words. Maybe it was real; maybe Jacob was alive after all?

She kissed the leaf and put it next to her heart like as if it was the only thing that would lead Jacob back to her. She felt so alive. She never felt this way before, not in a long time.

'But who could have done this?
