Chapter 1081 Self-mutilation (1/2)

Emily was sleepwalking again.

Jacob felt like he was unable to breathe at the sight of this. It was like there was a blunt knife hacking into his heart over and over again until he was badly mutilated. His lips trembled, and his eyes turned red. However, he didn't utter a sound.

He was afraid to wake Emily up. If anyone who was sleepwalking was awakened, he or she would fall into a trance or, even worse, end up with psychiatric disorders.

Considering the raw mental state that Emily had been in recently, Jacob had to think of the worst consequences. He didn't dare to do anything that might trigger her descent into madness.

Jacob was getting more and more anxious by the minute as he looked at Emily. He silently reproached his assistant for being inefficient.

'Why is it taking so long to find the best doctor?' he complained to himself in his mind.

He tried his best not to move too much or make any sudden noises. His eyes carefully monitored Emily's state, fearing that she would be disturbed by him.

Jacob grabbed the first-aid box from the kitchen and placed it on the corner of the table. Matching Emily's random pace, Jacob bound her wrist, almost kneeling on the floor.

After Jacob finally managed to dress Emily's wound, he found his forehead sweating thoroughly, and he could hardly breathe.

Watching Emily gradually calm herself down, Jacob felt a little less nervous. He gingerly turned Emily's body slightly and carefully directed her towards where her room was, trying to help her get back to her bed again.

Settling her on her bed again, Jacob raised his hands to help tuck her in. He had planned to leave immediately. But noticing that Emily was frowning even in her sleep, he hesitated. Emily seemed to be anxious. Her eyelashes were trembling, her hands were trying to cling onto something, and she was murmuring as her lips moved slightly.

Jacob couldn't help frowning as well. He instantly picked up her cold hand and knelt next to her. Trying to warm her body with his, Jacob coaxed gently, ”Don't be afraid. I am right here by your side.”

Jacob lowered his head closer to Emily's constantly moving lips and tried to find out what she was whispering.
