Chapter 1022 She Left Quietly (1/2)

Jacob didn't know whether she had cleaned her body or not. She had used to be as dirty as a pig. Whenever they finished, she would lay in his arms, poking his chest, and she would make him carry her to the bathroom. She would rather directly fall sleep in his arms than go and take a shower.

Jacob was always afraid that her body couldn't bear it. Every time, he gave her a shower on his own, but the night before, he hadn't had a choice. He had had to let her take a shower on her own.

'Emily... You need to wait just for a while... It will all be over soon. I will explain everything to you when the time comes!'

Minute by minute, the night passed by slowly.

The early morning sun rose behind the window screen, projecting golden sun-rays on Emily's slender body. The sunshine seemed to cut through a thin layer of fog around her and lit her up fully, making her look like a goddess.

Emily turned in the bed and blocked the sun with her hands. She opened her eyes with a frown, immediately squinting. Her mind seemed to pause for a few seconds. Then, at once, all her thoughts returned. Every cell in her body seemed to struggle in pain.

Feeling cold and distant, she got up and, with some effort, refreshed herself. She then sat in front of the dresser, staring at her pale cheeks in the mirror. She forced a smile, but sadly couldn't hide her vicissitudes and fatigue.

She raised her hand and rubbed her cheek, hoping it would grant some color to her dead face.

She applied some blush to her cheeks at last and stood up. Feeling half-dead, she descended the stairs and lingered all about the villa like a ghost.

She pondered about what had happened right in this villa, unable to get over it. She went over all the details in her mind, recalling the countless moments she'd spent here with Jacob.

She looked all about herself quietly. There were many things she liked about the villa. Jacob had bought all those things because they'd made her happy. Ironically, it was him who had torn everything apart, leaving nothing but just broken traces of their once delightful existence.

”Goodbye, Jacob!”, she muttered under her breath.
