Chapter 1365 Taylors Guilt (1/2)

As soon as Louis arrived at the hospital, he was wheeled into the operating room. Emily, who had been unaware of the severity of his condition, finally realized that something was wrong.

Emily took Jacob's hand and asked, ”Jacob, surely you must know what's wrong with my brother?”

Jacob knew all about it. But he also feared that Emily was exhausted after such a terrible ordeal, so he could not tell her the truth, or her condition would deteriorate.

Emily looked up at Jacob with a pair of expectant eyes, hoping that he would tell her the truth. However, Jacob kept silent for a long time. Finally, he touched Emily's messy and tangled hair before deciding to lie to her by saying, ”I don't know what's wrong with him either!”

Taylor suddenly raised up her head and looked at Jacob. Seeing that the expression on her face remained strained, Emily quickly asked her too. However, glancing at Jacob, Taylor simply lowered and shook her head.

”Stop wrapping me in cotton wool! Are you afraid that I can't take it? I can take it, really! Just tell me!” Emily demanded in exasperation.

If they didn't tell her, she would just overthink and worry more.

Jacob feared that Emily wouldn't be able to control her emotions, so he had to shield her. He thought of distracting her and said, ”Emily, you see, Taylor is tired after today. You should take her to our home. You girls take a warm bath and get some sleep. Taylor is sad now and you need to comfort her, okay? When your brother gets out of the surgery, I'll tell you everything.”

Jacob knew he couldn't reveal everything to Emily right now, so he had to use Taylor as an excuse to distract her from the idea.

Emily also knew that she shouldn't be too willful at the moment, so she nodded quickly and said, ”Okay, then. Taylor and I will leave now.”

”Okay, go ahead. I'll stay here and let you know.”

With Jacob taking responsibility for Louis, Taylor could rest assured. She was indeed exhausted. But Amy was at home alone, so she had to swing by her own house. Just when Taylor raised her head to protest, Jacob added, ”Amy is at my home.”

”Thank you!”

Jacob arranged a driver to take Emily and Taylor back home. As soon as they arrived, they both received a huge hug from Amy. Emily had always felt uneasy around children. So when Amy wrapped her arms around Emily, she froze and stood still as a log.

Luckily, the butler saw her awkwardness and led Amy back inside immediately.

Emily finally relaxed somewhat.
