Chapter 1366 I Dont Want To See You Again (1/2)

Eventually, Taylor managed to persuade Emily.

They lay on the bed without saying anything. An awkward atmosphere prevented either of them from getting any sleep until dawn.

When the alarm clock began ringing, Emily jumped out of bed immediately and rushed into the bathroom without wasting another minute. After freshening up, she pulled Taylor, who was pretending to still be asleep, out of the bed. When Taylor was ready to head out the door, they dashed to the hospital without any delay.

Last night, Jacob had already sent a message to them, informing them that Louis was out of surgery and had been moved to recovery.

In the ward, Louis and Jacob were staring moodily at each other. Jacob had just received a message from Emily, asking for Louis's ward number. When he was about to type a response, Louis smacked his lips and said, ”Jacob, shouldn't you go buy some breakfast for me? After all, I am the patient here! Can't you see I'm starving!” It had been an embarrassing moment for Louis. When he woke up, he was immediately scolded by Jacob for his weakness. Jacob had harangued him for failing to protect his beloved better and even blamed him for ending up in the hospital.

”I can't be bothered to arrange any breakfast for you! I am sure Taylor will tend to your needs when she arrives.” Jacob didn't raise his head as he spoke tonelessly to Louis. He was busy checking the latest information concerning Darren on his phone.

”Is Louis awake now?”

”Yes, he woke up a few minutes ago and wishes to have some breakfast. Please take some food to him,”

Jacob said to Taylor with a friendly grin. As soon as he finished speaking, Emily dashed past him with Taylor on her arm. However, she was stopped instantly by Jacob, who caught her by the collar as if she was just a defenseless kitten.

He gazed at her surprised face and explained, ”The hospital staff will be checking the wards soon, and only one visitor is allowed at a time with the patient. Why don't you come and have some breakfast with me?”

Emily was concerned about Louis's health. She wanted to know if he was doing all right, so she adamantly refused Jacob's suggestion. ”No, I just want to look in on my brother.”

”Trust me, he's fine. He's already whining about being hungry. It's a sure sign that he's on the mend!” Jacob noticed that Emily had changed. Her eyes were no longer as timid, and she
