Chapter 578 If You Don’t Love Me (2/2)

”Because I…” Emily lowered down her head so that Jacob couldn't see her face, ”I can't tell you…I can't say anything…”

'She still has to keep secrets from me even after everything that just happened?

Or was it just a joke? Am I taking it too seriously?' Jacob wondered in his mind.

”I got you.” Emily suddenly let out a big smile and gently punched Jacob on the chest.

”You little twerp,”

said Jacob, relieved of his worries. Seeing Emily smile was comforting enough, so he didn't want to think about anything else at the moment.

'If I don't love her, she will die. How ridiculous is that! I should have known it was just a joke. She was treating me like a kindergarten kid.

With my money and the advanced technology it can afford, she will certainly be fine soon. We will both live together until we are very old. Maybe we will all live to a 100 years old.

We will always be with each other.

Nothing can stop us.'

Emily was about to fall asleep when Jacob kissed her again and asked, ”You said you loved me…did you mean it?”

He would never ask her this question if Emily was in her normal state because he knew she would never tell him the truth.

”Of course I love you,” Emily replied without any hesitation, ”but you never believe me. You are such a fool, Jacob. Do you know that you will…you will…”

Jacob was thrilled to hear the answer, but he realized it was another weird answer. ”I am going to what? Emily, go on.”

”You will lose me forever someday.” Emily's voice was getting weaker and weaker as if she was drifting off to sleep.

Jacob stopped her words with his gentle kiss. He pulled Emily into his chest and hugged her like it was the end of the world.

”No, I won't. Never.”
