Chapter 826 Make Him Dead (1/2)

”Would you like me to lull you to sleep?”

”Yes, please.”

Jacob had a big soft spot for Emily in his heart and he didn't like seeing her upset. ”Come here! Everything is going to be okay.”

He once tried to lull Bowen to sleep, but instead of putting the baby to sleep he ended up making him cry all night. But Mr. Gu still was full of confidence.

Humming a tuneless lullaby, he patted Emily's back gently and lulled her to sleep.

At first, Emily thought Jacob's humming was awful, but soon after, unexpectedly, she fell into deep sleep, thanks to his lullaby.

Soon after she drifted off to sleep, Emily slipped into the grips of a dream.

Like a curse that could not be lifted, she dreamt about Tyron and the same absurd scenes again. Emily fought hard to push him away. Desperately trying to wake up, she cried out Jacob's name for help, but nobody came to her rescue...

Suddenly, Emily snapped out of her abysmal nightmare, startled and covered in cold sweats. She whipped her head about and the first thing her eyes caught was Jacob, quietly watching her sleep under a dim light.

She screamed as the remnants of her nightmare still clung to her mind, haunting her.

Jacob, immediately rushed to her and turned on the bedside lamp as soon as she heard her screaming. He wiped the sweat from her face and in a calm voice he said, ”It was just a dream! It's over now. What did you just dream about?”

Nervously averting the concerned eyes of the expressionless man, Emily remained silent. After a while, she swallowed and said, ”It was just... a nightmare.”

Jacob nodded his head gently. ”What kind of nightmare? Would you like to talk to me about it. Emily?”
