Chapter 770 A Difficult Choice (1/2)

Emily did not expect that she would become the ”target” of the people around her. For the entirety of her stay at the hospital, she had been lying in bed because her feet had been hurting. Since it was difficult for her to move around, Jacob constantly volunteered to do stuff for her, like feeding her meals, and didn't allow her to get out of bed.

It was time for Emily to eat again. Every day, Jacob prepared a different meal for her, and insisted that he would feed her every bite.

He gently blew the food on the spoon to make it cooler, and then directed it towards Emily's mouth. In truth, Emily couldn't stand the way Jacob treated her. It made her feel like a child who had no ability to take care of herself. ”Jacob, my hands are working just fine. I can eat on my own. Can you just stop feeding and treat me like a baby?”

Emily said sternly with a pout. She had requested to eat on her own numerous times already, put Jacob just kept on ignoring her.

”Nope! You haven't fully recovered yet!” stated Jacob, refusing her request without hesitation as he sent another spoonful into Emily's mouth. ”Honey, be a good girl. Eat it. It's very delicious!” Jacob said patiently.

”Jacob! Did you hear me? I can do it myself. I am not a baby, okay?” Emily retorted. A this point, she thought Jacob fussing too much about her injury and decided to finally put a stop to it.

But as soon as she finished talking, Jacob had already inserted the spoonful of food in her mouth.

”How can you...” Emily babbled as her mouth was stuffed with food. She glared at Jacob, eager to express her protest.

Her cheek was bulging and moving quickly as she chewed, which made her look so cute. Jacob looked at her with a warm smile and comforted her, ”Don't speak now. Finish the food first and you can eat by yourself tomorrow. Okay?”

'Did he finally agree with me?' Emily's eyes lightened, and started to chew on the food happily.

”Good! It's a promise. I will remember what you said just now and won't allow you to go back on your words. Otherwise, just wait and see what will become of you,” Emily triumphantly.

With that, Jacob sighed. He really couldn't do anything with her insistence.

The next day, Jacob went to the company to deal with something emergent and didn't show up at lunchtime for the first time. But he sent Sam to bring the lunch to Emily.

It was the first time that Jacob didn't stay with Emily ever since she was hospitalized. At first, she was relieved, and even felt happy when Sam told her that Jacob wouldn't come. However, the happiness didn't last long. An aching void struck her suddenly. She found that she had already got used to Jacob's accompany.

Emily lost her appetite for lunch and stared at the food blankly. Just then, a familiar voice rang in her ears.

”Director Emily! I miss you so much!” Joyce greeted to Emily. A bunch of flowers was in her arms.
