Chapter 999 Jacob Treated Emily Differently (2/2)
He looked her up and down, and his clear blue eyes filled with concern. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and noticed the discomfort between the two people. Suddenly, something caught his attention. It was the swollen lips and the rosy cheeks of his younger sister. Louis curled his lips as he guessed what had happened before he had entered into the room. A mixed feeling of loss and delight was rising from the bottom of his heart.
He felt lost, because the man who occupied the most important place in Emily's heart had been returned to her, and that man was obviously not him. Soon, Jacob would take care of her and of everything that concerned her. Louis would
ke it anymore. Reaching out, he wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her nearer until she was perched on his lap.
”I've had enough. I want you now!” he murmured, emotions welling up to deepen his voice.
He didn't understand why he was acting like that, but he didn't want to suppress himself. The more time he spent with Emily, the stronger he felt for her. He was never a man who had been obsessed with women, but Emily was an exception. He was obsessed and captivated with her. He guessed that this was the reason why he had married her in the first place.
Now that Jacob thought of Emily as his wife, she would be the one he would spend the rest of his life with, regardless of whether he regained his lost memories or not. Deep in his heart, he believed that he must have loved this woman desperately.
”What are you doing?” Emily shouted in astonishment.
She couldn't think or move as she was wrapped up in Jacob's sudden hug. She closed her eyes in his familiar arms and, leaning against his chest, heard the familiar rhythm of his heartbeat. It was like the old times they had spent together. She had missed this intimacy so much during this last trying episode of their lives together, and at the same time, she was aware of what would happen next. They had been living together for such a long time that they were quite familiar with each other's bodies and needs.
Emily could feel that Jacob's body was getting hotter and hotter. She suddenly opened her eyes. They were inside an ICU in the hospital, and anyone who passed by could see them clearly through the glass window. Although Emily missed his body as much as he did hers, she had to stop. She pushed him away a little and gasped, ”Please, wait, Jacob. They can see us!”
Jacob's eyes turned sober immediately. He sighed deeply, a lonely mournful sound, and let go of her. ”Huh, I don't feel very well now. I think I'd better lie down and take a rest. Please, continue with the meal,” he said abruptly and stood up.
Emily watched him walk to the bed, get onto it and lie down with his back to her.
