Chapter 573 There Is No Hate (2/2)

Emily's face turned pale in a flash.

Jack's heart was full of resentment. ”He didn't even think twice about killing his own daughter. How can you forgive him?”

”No, that's not true,” Emily clenched her lip tight. ”That's not what he wanted. He had his reasons...” ”Then what were his reasons?” Jack could hardly control his temper anymore. Jack thought this time he would be strong enough to face Emily but he had lost his ability to think clearly the moment he laid eyes on her. 'This is not fair. How can Jacob be forgiven after everything he has done?'

Emily decided to keep Jacob's reason a secret from Jack. She had no choice other than to keep silent, but it seemed to Jack that she was being partial to Jacob. ”Emily, why can't you be partial to me?” Jack wanted to get up and pull her in his arms, but his disabled legs had stopped him. His heart grieved. 'How could I forget that I am just a disabled person now?'

Suddenly, Emily reached out and patted his shoulder. Her movements eased his impending outburst of emotion. ”Jack, do you regret sacrificing your legs to save Beryl?” ”I have never regretted...” Jack responded straightaway.

”It's all right if you do,” Emily pointed out his real thought. ”No one would willingly lose the ability to walk. I admit that Jacob and I are sorry for you, and we need to thank you.”

Jack's mind was blank and the light in his eyes had died. In his heart-wrenching silence, he seemed to have been engulfed in black air. ”Yes, you are all sorry for me. Everyone is sorry for me! I hate... all of you! I should have stood by that night. How wonderful would it have been if Jacob had killed his own daughter?”

Dumbfounded by his words, Emily drew her hand and slapped him across the face without thinking. Jack stared into Emily's eyes burning with anger, and his heart fell silent again.

Soon, Jack's eyes turned maliciously red.

He roared in his heart, 'Why? Why did I agree to see her?

I keep telling myself that things will be different this time.

She always brings out the worst in me.'

Meanwhile, Emily's cold eyes tortured his soul, causing him a great deal of pain.

'God, why do you torture me like this?

Is it my destiny to be hurt by Emily again and again?'

”How can you say that in front of me?” she said. Emily was shaking furiously. Whatever sympathy she had for him had now completely disappeared. ”I won't allow you to talk like that about my daughter, even though you've save her!”

Emily eyes had frozen over, robbing them of their usual warmth. ”??Don't forget that you killed my other child.”
