Chapter 725 How Could You (2/2)

This really upset Beryl.

Originally, she had not wanted to believe what Ancho had said, but now, she could no longer deceive herself. For the sake of the baby, her father even suspected her of having done something terrible!

And this was

hell.

Now that he had died, she was surprised that she did not feel happy. Her emotions were greatly complicated and raw, filling her with some confusion.

”It's good that he's dead,” Emily said softly.

As Jacob thought of the madman, his emotions were turbulent. Sean committed suicide, escaping the dark plans for revenge which Jacob had been forming.

How he wished he could dismantle Sean's corpse into hundreds of pieces and revisit all the pain on Sean which he had caused them!

”Well,” Emily no longer wanted to continue this topic any further. So she asked, ”Where's Beryl? I have been awake for so long. Yet, I haven't seen her. Where's she?”

Jacob hesitated. He did not know how to explain.

But Emily misinterpreted his silence and asked, ”Didn't she want to come and see me? It doesn't matter. Besides, I'm not seriously injured any way...”

She said that it didn't matter, but her expression had turned gloomy, with a hint of bitter sadness.

”No.” Jacob could not bear to see her like this, so he hurriedly explained, ”She did come, and was waiting outside the emergency room until we could come in. But...”

Emily was glad to hear the first part of what he had said. But hearing his hesitation she suddenly had a bad premonition. ”But what?” she asked in trepidation.

”But she thought I had suspected her...” In order to prevent Emily from further worry, Jacob roughly told her the whole story.

Having heard what Jacob said, Emily could not help hitting him with her small fist. She said angrily, ”How did you ever become a father? How could you do this to her? Your daughter has run away, but you didn't even go get her back!”
