Chapter 822 Don’t Distort Her Intention (2/2)
Eventually, Emily's breathing steadied and the wildness in her eyes had settled down. When she finally came to herself, she realized how unreasonable she had been to Jacob. ”Sorry, honey. I don't know what's wrong with me. I didn't mean to push you away like that. Perhaps I'm just a little nervous,” she explained.
Jacob understood what she had meant and thought that perhaps he was going too fast and ended up hurting Emily. ”Don't be afraid, my dear. Take it easy. I will be gentle to you from now on. You will enjoy it. Trust me, okay?” Jacob comforted her.
Unfortunately, that nightmare still lingered in Emily's mind. Unexplainably, the way Jacob kissed her in reality kept reminding her of the way Tyron treated her in the
with her innocent eyes, completely oblivious to what Jacob intended to express.
Jacob sighed, holding back his anger as he looked at Emily's innocent eyes. Afraid of breaking her heart, he decided to keep the fact that her mother was cheating her hidden for another time. He had a feeling that as though he wouldn't have to wait too long since Carol's day of reckoning was coming inevitably.
Jacob cast a disdainful glare at Carol. The mere thought of feigning respect towards this evil woman sickened him. If it had not been for Emily's sake, Jacob wouldn't even consider wasting his breath on Carol.
”Of course you can stay in the hospital longer if you like. We respect your choice. But it seems too much for Emily to come here and take care of you every day—running from home to hospital and from hospital to home. Oftentimes, I'll find her exhausted and sleep-deprived. Look at her! She looks thinner than before. Perhaps you don't care about her health, but as her husband, her well-being is all that matters to me!” Jacob's tone had a subtle punch to it.
Carol felt offended by Jacob's sarcastic words and she replied angrily with eyes wide open, ”What are you talking about? How can you say that to me! Emily is my daughter. Of course, I care about her!”
”If that's true then you don't need Emily to continue like this, right? Since you're almost better now, I assume there's no need for Emily to take care of you every day,” Jacob hid his harshness behind a smile.
Carol regretted speaking in a rush and not carefully considering Jacob's words. If Emily stopped to visit her every day, how would she get her to spend time with Tyron? If that were the case, then all of her efforts would be for nothing. All Jacob wanted was for Emily to stay away from her. Now that his plan was working, how would she reverse her mistakes? Suffice it to say, Carol found herself in a difficult spot unable to come up with a proper response.
All of a sudden, as if Carol's prayers had been answered, Tyron walked over to Jacob and spoke on behalf of her, ”Mr. Gu, I think the reason why Aunt Carol wants to see Emily every day is because she loves Emily very much. I believe all she wants is the company of her daughter. I am afraid what you said really hurt Aunt Carol's feelings. You must have misunderstood her. Please don't distort her intentions, okay? ” Tyron said coldly to Jacob.
