Chapter 555 It Makes Me Sick (2/2)

”Jacob,” she muttered as if she was wondering why he would do such a thing to her. Her eyes turned a little bloodshot and shock was evident in her eyes. She couldn't believe what just happened.

Jacob looked back at her with an emotionless expression. There was nothing to read except the disgusted feeling in his black eyes. ”Don't touch me,” he hissed, making Emily's eyes widen in surprise. He couldn't help but notice the misery and pain as well.

Emily blinked multiple times as she tried to keep herself from crying. ”What?” She couldn't believe that he would say such cruel words at her. She would rather

fort her, and kiss her woes and pain away, but he couldn't.

He should hate her and despise her for what she had done.

He should make her pay and get what she deserved.

With all these conflicting feelings inside of him, Jacob closed his eyes to compose himself. He opened them again and pulled his poker face on in attempt to hide the turmoil inside of him. ”You should take care of yourself. You don't want to let Beryl see a cold and pale corpse.”

As soon as he finished, he immediately turned around and rushed out of the room, as if he was being chased with something wild and unbearable.

Emily immediately collapsed on the floor as soon as the door closed. All she could feel now was pain in every part of her body. She wouldn't have believed that the man a while ago was Jacob if not for the physical body she recognized and knew so much.

Her Jacob was overprotective, but he was also very gentle and caring to her. He would do everything he could even at the expense of his own life just to keep her safe. He was her most beloved man in the world, but the man a while ago wasn't the man she knew and loved.

What happened?

Why were things going this direction?

Emily remembered how he looked at her without any trace of love and care at all. He only looked at her with cold and piercing eyes, and a hint of disgust and impatience lingered on his face. It was like she was his enemy.

He seemed to have forgotten everything that they had been through. The love… the hardships… the experiences and memories they treasured together…

'Wait a minute. Forget?'

Emily finally calmed down and regained enough energy to stand up and pour herself some water from the pitcher on the bedside table. The water was lukewarm, and she savored that bit of warmth in her hands, but her heart now was still as cold as a stone. As if Jacob had frozen it to ice.

Now thinking about forgetting and remembering, Sean was able to bring back his memory, so wasn't he able to eliminate it?
