A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 565

Having run out of patience, Jacob said, "Mind your own business!"

His words didn't infuriate Emily. However, she giggled as though she were amused by his outburst.

Suddenly, Jacob noticed that her left hand was bandaged. He paused and frowned. "What happened to your hand?"

Emily drew her injured hand back at once and answered, "Nothing!"

She hastily blurted an answer to Jacob as she felt embarrassed and didn't want him to find out that she had foolishly fallen for Bonnie's trap.

Emily's answer didn't convince Jacob as much as she would have liked. He strode towards Emily and gripped her arm to force her to reach out her injured hand. He stared at the white gauze, tinted red with blood.

"Spill it! What happened?"

'How foolish is this woman? I go out for a few days on a business trip and you end up hurting yourself like this!' Jacob kept his complaints in his mind.

Emily bit her lip and shook her head slightly.

Her persistence angered Jacob even more and he yelled at her, "Fine! I will check it by myself."

Emily knew how bad her wound was, so she refused at once. "Don't! It's not a big deal. You don't have to..."

"Don't take this the wrong way. I don't really care about you." Flames of anger burned in his eyes, and he continued, "I have eyes and ears everywhere. There's nothing you can hide from me. You've just crossed the line."

Whether it was his business or his subordinates, everyone and everything was under Jacob's control. That also included Bonnie.

However, Emily was an exception.

She was out of his control. He knew nothing about her thoughts and purpose.

This feeling that he had lost control over her displeased him.

His last sentence was nothing compared to the other merciless things she had heard from him before. She held his hand and answered gently, "It's disgusting! I don't want to bother your eyes."

Jacob sneered, outraged by such boldness on Emily's part. "I have to say, the way you are acting now only arouses my suspicion even more. Is it a fake wound? Are you playing this trick to win my sympathy?"

Baffled at his words, Emily let go of his hand. She took a deep breathe and answered, "Fine! You can look if you want."

"Of course I want to see. Every part of you belongs to me now."

Emily's compromise didn't comfort his rage. Before she knew it, he ripped off the gauze without a word.

Due to the sudden nature of his action, a bit of skin accidentally peeled off with the gauze.

Emily turned pale instantly. The pain almost killed her as beads of sweat trickled down from her forehead.

Jacob froze in horror. He didn't expect her wound to be a serious one. As if it weren't bad enough already, he had made it worse by ripping off the skin on the back of her injured hand.

"Why didn't you tell me about this? It looks so serious."

He squeezed her wrist and cast a serious glance at the back of her hand. The skin under the gauze had peeled off, revealing raw, pink flesh spotted with blood.

It was absolutely terrifying.

Emile smiled at him bitterly and said, "I told you, but you just wouldn't believe me. I'm sorry. This must disgust you."

"You..." Jacob felt a sharp pain shoot up to his chest, leaving him breathless. But he didn't know whether the cause of it was his rage or something else.

If Emily had told him that her wound was still raw and unhealed, he would have never ripped off the gauze like that.

Emily sucked in a sharp breath as the pain from her wound spiralled all across her body. She had to bite her lip from the pain of it all. "Mr. Jacob, will you let go of my arm now?"
