A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 566 Sweet Words Are Poisonous

After a while, Jacob closed his eyes and then asked coldly, "Emily, are you sure?"

"Yes. I am sure. I am ready," Emily nodded firmly.

Jacob let out a taunting laughter but there was no trace of pleasure that could be found on his face. "Emily, are you a masochist? Why do you enjoy getting hurt?"

"I don't like being hurt, but I love you very much. That's all," Emily said sincerely, her eyes resting.

Jacob held her gaze, but instead of the warmth of a lover it was with an icy hostility, as if nothing could melt his cold heart. But his eyes betrayed him, desperately trying to avoid being seen by her.

'Sweet words are poisonous, so I must resist her temptation to avoid being deceived.' Jacob kept reminding himself.

"It's such a pity! I don't love you any more," Jacob answered contemptuously as he stroked Emily's chin gently. However, he couldn't help locking his eyes at Emily as if she was drawing him closer like a black hole. Despite his efforts to turn her down, his words contradicted his actions.

"It doesn't matter. I don't care whether you love me back or not." Emily fought off the tears to keep a calm disposition, even though she was deeply hurt by Jacob. After a while, she added, "My wound is getting worse because of you. You should be responsible for your actions. Would you kindly dress the wound for me?"

"Are you serious? No! I am not going to do that," Jacob said angrily.

What was wrong with her? Why should he be responsible for her?

Emily was on the verge of fainting when he cleaned her wound just moments ago. How could she forget so soon? Now she wanted him to dress the wound again. Was she not afraid of the pain?

Jacob wanted to call a doctor for her, but she wouldn't let him. The pain must be getting to her head, making her think irrationally.

"I only want you to dress the wound for me," Emily insisted.

In truth, Jacob didn't want to see Emily suffer unnecessarily due to his inadequacy. After all, he suffered through all her pains just the same. Having her best interest at heart, he decided to call a doctor to dress her wound, but she downright refused him!

Jacob wanted to get revenge on Emily, but not in this way.

"Emily, did you hurt yourself on purpose? You hurt yourself deliberately and then led me to rip off the bandage, didn't you? You wanted me to feel guilty. Was that your real intention?" Jacob looked down on her with disgust. Jacob was deliberately talking down to her to provoke her.

He thought he would be able to drive her away if he managed to get under her skin.

"Whatever, I don't want to explain myself anymore," Emily said peacefully, without any trace of indignation.
