Chapter 1088 I Am Here (2/2)

Jacob's heart ached and he stroked the back of her hand to comfort her.

”I do!”

Emily nodded without even thinking, not knowing why she agreed to him, but she couldn't look away from his beautiful eyes. It was as if he had magic inside his eyes.

”Here you are...”

Jacob brushed her hair with his fingers

ssing it.

Just a few seconds ago, when he was looking away, Emily had crouched next to the bedside table and tried to bang her head in the corner.

If he hadn't used his hand to protect her, she would have been in grave danger.

”Hmm... If I die, everything will be fine. If I die, everything will be fine...”

Emily struggled to free herself from Jacob's arms and mumbled incoherently to herself.

”Emily!”

Jacob called her name. However, he was afraid of waking her up like that. But no matter what, he had to stop her from putting herself in danger again, so he decided to follow her.

Tonight, Emily gave him the fright of a lifetime. Jacob could sense that something bad was going to happen.

Normally, when Emily relapsed, she wouldn't have enough strength to hurt herself. As long as he was there to keep an eye on her and stop her, she would be fine. However, today was different.

Suddenly, Jacob's eyes widened and his head went blank. He rushed over to Emily and stopped in front of her.

He threw caution to the air, grabbed her arm by one hand and covered her wrist with another hand.

”Hiss...”

he gasped in pain.

Jacob bit his lip tightly as he glanced at the wound on the back of his hand. However, he wasn't mad at Emily. He just held her in his arms as blood trickled down his fingers and dropped onto the floor. Emily's safety was his first priority, and he tried his best to calm her down. With a calm and soft voice, he whispered into her ear.

”It's okay! Everything will be fine! I am here!”

Seconds ago, he had found that Emily was not sleepwalking. She had opened her eyes, but her eyes were dull. She looked like a zombie without a thought.

Now, he was sure that Emily was suffering from hysterical depression.
