Chapter 615 I Am Not a Good Man (2/2)

alking about as they fussed over him. Emily could see however that they were taking good care of him.

However, their kindness to him didn't make him happy at all. He seemed eager to leave there and look for her. Emily knew that he only felt safe and happy when she was with him.

”Myron will be taken to the work place after he completely recovers. There are many people with mental retardation like him working in the coal mine. They can realize their self-value there. He will be properly cared for. I think he will like it.”

Jacob explained slowly to Emily. He didn't show any emotion while he spoke. Standing beside the desk, hands in his pockets, his eyes were distant as he gazed out the window.

Reassured by the image on the computer screen, Emily looked one last time and then closed the laptop in acceptance.

If anything had happened to Myron because of her, she would have felt guilty for the rest of her life.

Luckily, Jacob hadn't lied to her and had provided an appropriate job for Myron instead.

At the thought of that, she cast a thankful glance at Jacob. But to her disappointment, he averted his eyes and turned away.

Was he angry with her because of her doubt in him?

”Jacob, I am sorry. I shouldn't have...” Emily apologized tenderly.

But she was interrupted by him, ”You don't have to apologize to me,” he said coldly. ”Whatever, I am not a good man. You are right to think of me like that.”

Emily was speechless and didn't know how to respond to him.

After a brief silence, he spoke up again, ”For reference, you'd better stay at home. Don't go anywhere in the nearby future.”

”Jacob, what do you mean? Are you imprisoning me?” she asked softly.

”If you want to interpret my meaning like that, I have no objection,” he answered shortly.

Emily stood there silently and pursed her lips tightly. She had been imprisoned by Jacob before. His words did not bring her any real discomfort. In a way, she had even become accustomed to his incarcerating her.

But she couldn't help wondering what tricks he was going to play with her now.
