Chapter 629 Overwhelming Sorrow (2/2)

Only in her presence he could feel like a real person. She always managed to bring out the best in him. Without her, there was no difference between being alive and being dead.

”Bang-bang!” Loud knocks at the door broke his thoughts. Muffled words, coupled with the sound

fists and pummelled David to the ground until he spat blood. Once the demon inside Jacob was summoned, there was no way to defeat him.

David paid dearly for the violence he had just incited!

David tried to fight back. But still, by the time Jacob was done with him he was lying on the ground, half dead. Jacob was no better. Blood seeped beneath his skin, ribs fractured. His swollen face was hardly recognizable.

He conjured whatever strength he had left to stand up and walk to the bed. He cast his sight at the inanimate body on the bed, and held her in his arms.

”Sorry, I shouldn't have fought in front of you... But I just lost my temper. David was being an asshole. He said he'd abuse our daughter. He said he'd bury us separately after death...”

The sight of his best friend holding and talking to a cold dead body broke David's heart.

If only there was something he could do to ease his friend's pain.

Soon came the feeling of overwhelming sorrow, like a huge net, wrapping him up, making it impossible for him to escape.

David was glad that he left Rita back at home or she would have surely cried herself to death at the sight of this room.

Jacob was not even half the man he used to be.

There was no doubt that Jacob and Emily loved each other deeply. After all the ups and downs they had weathered together, the hardships only strengthened their love for each other. But then why did God deprive them of happiness? Why couldn't he give them a happy ending?
