A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 566

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.

She had grown accustomed to being wronged by Jacob.

Jacob didn't get the sense of satisfaction he was expecting. Instead, there was great discomfort in his heart. He stood up and walked away without a word, tearing himself away from Emily as soon as he could.

Emily watched Jacob walk away and she could hardly think of a time when she felt this helpless.

Everything she did was to get close to Jacob only so she could repair their relationship.

She would happily bear the pain of the wound just as long as she could win Jacob back.

She was willing to do anything so long as Jacob would stop ignoring her. All she wanted now was his forgiveness. But why couldn't Jacob understand her?

Just outside the study, Jacob slammed his fist to the wall, causing a loud noise to reverberate across the hallway.

Jacob couldn't understand what was wrong with him.

Why was he starting to feel pity for Emily all of a sudden?

Did she really do it on purpose? 'She was just using her weakness to show that she still loved me, but actually, she was luring me into her trap step by step.' Jacob went on in his head.

If what he had guessed somehow turned out to be true, he'd have to admit that she was the most complicated woman he had ever known in his life.

Jacob had been confident about his firm sense of self-control and willpower, but now he wavered. Emily was his Achilles' heel. In spite of his efforts, he couldn't keep himself from wanting to get close to Emily every time he was in her presence.

It was almost as if he no longer was in control of his own mind. 'No! I must resist the temptation.

I need to stay as far away as possible from that vicious woman.'

Since, Emily wasn't going to tell him the truth about how she got injured, he would have to make a thorough investigation on his own.

Soon, the doctor arrived, following Jacob's order. He cleaned the wound for Emily and then dressed it properly within minutes.
