Chapter 71 I Am Disappointed With You

When Emily was pulled to the office by Jacob, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in
the ground to bury herself.

After her colleagues had seen them like that, who knew what else could they conclude from that.

Emily stared into Jacob's captivating eyes. From her point of view, she could only see a handsome and
charming face, with a bit of blush on the cheeks.

Hmm…

What was going on?

"Emily..."

Jacob tried to say something but he struggled to catch his breath. He squatted and then fell directly to
the ground.

"Jacob!"

Petrified, Emily screamed out his name, as she quickly got down to see what had happened, only to
find out that the other party had fallen into a coma. "What happened to you? Wake up!"

The whole time Tina was there, Emily didn't notice anything wrong with Jacob. All of a sudden,
everything changed. His face was as pale as the moon; she checked his forehand with her hand and
found that he had a high temperature.

He had a fever!

Emily couldn't tell where her panic and nervousness was coming from at the moment. After failing to
wake up Jacob, she quickly dialled 120 and then called Sam.



The ambulance arrived shortly after, and Emily got in with Jacob. She didn't have time to think about
the office gossip she would have to face in the company.

In the hospital.

"Mr. Jacob hasn't had proper rest even with serious injuries on his body, so he has not been able to
recover fully for a long time. Due to lack of proper medication, his unhealed wounds got infected, and
thus, he has a terrible fever right now. In addition, the lack of sufficient rest will cause his body
temporary shock."

Emily listened carefully to the doctor's words and wrote down some of the matters that needed more
attention. She remembered the day when she and Jack had a meal with Jacob. Jacob mentioned that
he was also hurt...

So it was true! He was not lying to her...

However, later that day, she hit him, but he didn't fight back or chase after her. Maybe it was because of
his injuries, he would disappear for a few days without any word...

The more Emily thought of it the more she could not help but feel guilty for him.

Sam received Emily's message, and soon rushed to the hospital. He saw his boss lying unconscious
on the bed, as the panic on his face doubled.

"Miss Emily, what happened to Mr. Jacob?"

Emily repeated the doctor's words.

After listening to her, Sam's eyebrows furrowed. "Mr. Jacob's injuries had not fully healed, and he was
exhausted from overworking. What's worse, he still had insomnia at night..."



In truth, after the earthquake incident, Sam grew to resent Emily.

If it weren't for her, Jacob wouldn't even have been in that situation. Emily, however, seemed to pretend
like nothing had ever happened. Not even a single "thank you" note.

Emily also noticed that Sam's sullen face, but she didn't think it was because she had anything to do
with it. "Well, do you know how he got hurt?"

When the words left her lips, she saw Sam staring at her like he was looking at a ghost. Having been
totally shocked, he argued," Shouldn't you know better?"

"Me?"

Emily subconsciously pointed at herself, as her face carried a blank expression. She then continued,"
Why should I know better? I really don't know."

Emily was not always with Jacob. How would she know that he was injured. Sam would be the first
person to know about Jacob's whereabouts.

Noticing her ignorance, Sam's tone grew colder," Miss Emily, you must be too busy to remember."

When she noticed the coldness in Sam's voice, Emily was even more confused. "Can you just speak
clearly? I really don't know, so if you don't explain it to me clearly, I will be very troubled."

Emily's tone was sincere and it didn't seem like she was lying.

Sam also felt a bit confused by her lack of memory. Was Emily suffering from amnesia?

"Miss Emily, do you remember the day of the Yunshi City's earthquake?"

Emily nodded," Yes."



Sam's face twisted with confusion as he asked," Do you remember who saved you?"

"It was Jack."

Emily replied without a second thought.

Sam was stunned, and he asked again in an extremely inquisitive tone," Who told you that it was Mr.
Jack who saved you?"

"Of course Jack did..."

Emily was not a fool. Suddenly, due to Sam's expression and implications, it was all coming back to
her, but she couldn't swallow the truth. "You...you mean..."

"Miss Emily, I don't know what kind of stories Mr. Jack might have told you, but the person who risked
his life to save you on that day was indeed Mr. Jacob!"

"He was seriously injured in the process so he was taken back to Jingshi City for treatment without
delay. He was kept in the intensive care unit for several days..."

"Miss Emily, I am disappointed in you."

"I did not know……" Emily felt like her entire world was crashing down on her!

Turned out that the person who had saved her life on that dreadful day was Jacob Gu!

"Make a guess and if you're right, there will be rewards and if you're wrong, penalty!"

"Abstention also gets penalty."

"If... If we die, we die together. "Consider it a privilege to die with me."



"You will not die. I will not allow it."

"You got me. I never thought I would live to see such a day."

"Emily, since you've had my blood, you are mine now. Do you hear me?"

……

All the memories came rushing into her mind.

Ironically, at the time, she was sure that the man who was with her underneath the debris was Jacob.

However, later on, despite her doubts, her thoughts changed because of Jack's lies...

Part of it was due to the fact that she didn't believe that Jacob would do so much for her.

When the truth was revealed, the shackles of regret in her chest were like deadly vines, tightly
entangling her heart, suffocating her from within.

"Miss Emily?"

Sam looked at Emily's blank face, and regretted telling her the truth, in his heart. If Mr. Jacob found out,
he would definitely punish him for overstepping his boundaries. "Sorry, my attitude was very
inappropriate. Please don't take it to heart. I am just anxious......"

"Miss Emily? Miss Emily...... Why are you crying?"

Emily finally responded. She reached out and touched her face and felt the tears on her hands," ... I do
not know either."

Sam assumed that he had pressured her into crying. He handed her a clean handkerchief. With regret
in his heart, he tried to comfort her," Miss Emily, this was my fault. It wasn't my place to tell you that.



Please don't cry..."

"It doesn't matter. Thank you for telling me the truth."

Emily's face was very calm. She took the handkerchief and wiped her face clean. "Well, thank you very
much. I really appreciate it."

Sam stood there astounded, as he watched her walk towards his boss's bed. Finally he turned around
to guard the door.

He realized that if Miss Emily was telling the truth, then it would mean that Mr. Jack was undoubtedly a
heartless and conniving person. If Sam had not opened up to her today, Emily would have probably
carried on living her life with a misguided notion, while his altruistic boss withered away into oblivion...
