Chapter 926 A Lifetime Together (1/2)
At the same time, Jacob hoped that Emily could understand the underlying meaning of his words. 'In our lifetime, parents keep our company for the former part of our life, and children the latter part, while only a spouse spends a lifetime together with us.'
Emily's long eyelashes fluttered as she was overwhelmed by mixed emotions, both bitter and sweet. Needless to say, she had understood Jacob's implication.
Her bitter feelings were attributed to the fact that she knew she could only spend a certain amount of time in her life with Beryl and Bowen, and the sweet feelings came in knowing that she was able to spend her whole life with her beloved, Jacob.
'A person's entire lifetime is but a dot in time, so in this short journey, the only thing we can do is to live in the moment and value everything around us with gratitude, ' Emily mused.
Jacob held Emily in his arms tightly. With his thin lips getting closer to her ears, he whispered to her in a pleading and promising tone, ”Emily, this life, the next life, and all the lives after that... Be with me forever, okay?”
'I've found the love of my life, Emily. What more could I ask for!' Jacob thought.
Tears obscured Emily's vision and tightened her throat. She curled up the corners of her rosy lips in happiness and tried to hold her tears back. She nodded vigorously and held him back tightly as if she would lose him if she didn't do so.
The lovers embraced each other like they didn't want the moment to end before they finally pulled apart.
Meanwhile, David had just set Rita down to have some rest before he left the ward and walked into the next room. This private hospital was owned by the Xu Group, so in case of disturbing Rita, David decided to check the USB drive Jacob had given him in the next ward.
Inserting the device into the computer, David found that there were four folders on the screen, named 'Shares', 'Assets', 'Contacts' and 'RT Organization' respectively.
With his eyebrows furrowed, David first opened the last folder. In this folder, there was detailed information about RT Organization, including the code names of its group members. Under the file named 'Ariel, ' David saw a photo of Michelle, all the things she had done for the organization, and her life experiences.
After he carefully read through the information about Michelle, David clicked back to the 'RT Organization' folder and checked every other file in it. When he clicked open the last unnamed file with curiosity, Darren's face showed up on the screen.
