Chapter 592 In The Depths of Despair (1/2)

”Please, leave now...” Jacob pleaded desperately.

He was afraid that he would lose all self-control and really hurt Emily.

She was extremely distressed to see him hitting the wall over and over again. Wanting to stop him, she wrapped her arms around him, but he easily shook her off. Then she realized that she alone could not help him. It was pointless to stay there, so she left to find help.

Stumbling down the passage, she shouted for the servants to help and called the family doctor to come.

Once the doctor arrived, he and the servants rushed to restrain Jacob. One look at his crazed appearance and the manic glint in his eyes was enough for the doctor to make up his mind and he quickly administered a strong sedative. He instructed the servants to carry him back to bed.

Considering her haggardly appearance, the doctors quickly agreed that she was irrational and that she was sprouting nonsense due to her panic. Without asking, they injected her with a tranquilizer.

She wavered for a moment, before collapsing to the floor. The servants carried her off to bed. On the way she refused to close her eyes, but kept mumbling, ”Why won't you believe me? What I said is true! You quacks! You can't chec
