"You can't just take her!" Mrs. Yang shouted in rage. She then turned to the villagers and said, "Stop
him! He is a stranger in our village and he already dared to defy the village leader's wife! He doesn't
take us seriously at all! Go get her and bring back my son's wife!"
The villagers rushed forward Jacob all at once. They couldn't stand Donny getting the beautiful woman,
but they could only swallow their complaint because he was the son of the village leader and there was
nothing they could do about it. However, this man standing before them was nobody, so how could they
let a stranger like him lay a hand on this beautiful woman? No freaking way!
They all wanted Emily no matter the cost.
Jacob lightly pushed Emily to his back and prepared himself to fight. Emily hid behind him, gripping to
the side of his shirt with eyes full of fear and concern.
"You're outnumbered. You'll get hurt if you fight alone."
"Don't worry. I can handle it." Jacob smiled at her to relieve her fear and said, "I know you though I
don't remember you. I won't let them take you away."
"Jacob… I...," Emily stuttered. She didn't know what to say. All this time, even if he had lost his
memory, he would still want to protect her.
"Quit the sweet talking and fight! I'll beat you up until you couldn't stand on your own! Let's see if Mr.
Barefoot can fix you again after we beat you up!" One of the villagers attacked Jacob first.
Jacob kicked him aside without blinking an eye.
The kick was so hard that the villager was sent flying a few meters away. When he landed, he put his
hands over his chest and coughed out blood. He couldn't even say a word or stand up.
The others were speechless. No one dared to go next because of fear of getting hurt.
"What are you doing? He is outnumbered! It's impossible for him to kick us all at once!" Mrs. Yang
shouted.
The villages looked at each other and decided to rush forward at the same time.
But Jacob wasn't afraid at all. Despite losing his memory, he still could fight them back instinctively.
After all, they just had ordinary fighting skills, so it was easy for Jacob to anticipate their attack and
handle them.
Half an hour had passed and almost all the men in the village who fought Jacob were beaten up. The
rest who hadn't attacked didn't take the chance and just stood back instead. They realized that Jacob
wasn't an ordinary man and there was no way they could match his skills.
Mrs. Yang and the other village women were trembling with fear by just watching the men be beaten up
by Jacob on his own.
"Don't just lie there! Stand up and fight him to death!"
Jacob threw the last man on the ground and flexed his neck as if he was just getting warmed up. He
then walked towards Mrs. Yang and said, "Is there anyone else?"
Mrs. Yang unconsciously stepped back a little out of fear, "You! What do you want?"
"My poor son! Are you all right?" "Oh, my dear husband!" "How are you feeling? I don't want to see you
become disabled!" The other village women rushed to their own husband or son who was lying on the
ground with blood on their faces. They complained to Mrs. Yang about the turn of events while tending
the beaten-up villagers.
Emily was Mrs. Yang's problem and they had nothing to do with her.
But why did Mrs. Yang involve their sons and husbands to this and let them take the lead in the fight?
Now their husbands and sons were half beaten to death because of Mrs. Yang and her family
problems.
"Mrs. Yang! My son, Ben, wouldn't be hurt if you didn't ask him to help you get your daughter-in-law
back! If anything happens to my son, you are to blame!"
They all put the blame to Mrs. Yang because they couldn't talk to Jacob like that in the fear of getting
beaten up as well.
Jacob felt bad when he realized that it was Mrs. Yang's idea for the villagers to attack them. He said to
them in a cold tone, "All of you can come to my house to get treated. Except for this old bastard!"
Jacob pointed to Mr. Yang who was still lying unconscious on the ground.
The village women's eyes glowed with delight. One by one, the village women assisted their son and
husband to Mr. Barefoot's house.
Mr. Barefoot was the only doctor in this isolated village. Everyone knew that he didn't have a wife. But
several months ago, they found out that he had adopted a good-looking son. Though only a few knew
who the son was because Mr. Barefoot seldom accepted any patients and was not keen on talking to
the rest of the villagers.
It seemed that Mr. Barefoot had treated his son very well. Now, he promised the villagers that they
would be treated by Mr. Barefoot himself.
Nobody cared for Mrs. Yang now. They all went to Mr. Barefoot's house and seemed to be warming up
to Jacob.
Seeing that the villagers were betraying her by following the stranger, Mrs. Yang trembled in anger. She
looked at the faces of the people who betrayed her and said, "So, is this how it's going to be then?"
But no one was listening to Mrs. Yang. Even Jacob ignored her and walked towards Emily. He passed
by Mr. Yang and kicked him again.
"You have nothing to worry now. Everything's going to be fine." He took Emily's hands and smiled at
her.
Emily gipped his hands and smiled with tears of joy rolling down her face.
She still couldn't believe that Jacob was already in front of her after all this time. She thought she had
lost him forever, but the heavens had a way of surprising Emily with the best gift. She would remember
this day until her last breath.
"What do you think you're doing? I will not let you take her away! She's mine!" Donny suddenly
appeared from nowhere and rushed towards Jacob.
When Mrs. Yang realized it, it was already too late for her to stop Donny. "Donny! No! Don't go there!
He's dangerous!"
Although Donny was strong, he still had no match for Jacob's skills. Jacob could easily beat him with
one punch.
"Please don't hurt him. He's been good to me." Emily stopped Jacob in time.
When Jacob heard this, he unclenched his fist and release Donny. He looked at him coldly, "She never
belongs to you!"
"No! She is mine! My mom said she is my wife!" Donny shouted at Jacob. His face turned red with
frustration.
Mrs. Yang rushed towards them and held Donny to protect him from Jacob, "If you want to take
revenge, do it on me. But please don't hurt my Donny."
Donny's words echoed in Jacob's ears. The other man calling Emily "wife" made him feel
uncomfortable. It felt like someone took something important away from him.
"Leave! Now!"
Mrs. Yang pulled Donny away, but he resisted.
"Mom! I want my Miss Beauty! I don't want to leave! I'll take her back home!"
"No, Donny. Listen to Mommy. I will buy a more beautiful wife for you. This one isn't yours from now
on!"
Donny could not understand what his mother was saying, but he wouldn't let Emily go, "No! I don't want
anyone else! I only want my Miss Beauty! He's a bad guy. He just grabs my Miss Beauty! Mom, please
help get her back for me!"
"Donny, forget it! You Miss Beautify has already liked someone else! She won't stay with you anymore!"
Mrs. Yang's words brought Donny back to reality. His eyes started to fill with tears, and he looked at
Emily, "Miss Beauty, will you really leave me?"
Emily felt guilty upon looking at Donny's eyes, "I'm sorry. I lied to you."
Donny shook his head violently, "I don't believe you! You're so nice to me! Do you really like him?"
Emily looked at Jacob and smiled at him. She then looked back at Donny and gently said, "He is the
one I love. I only came here because of him. I only exist because of him.
Jacob looked at Emily's gentle glowing eyes. He was captivated by Emily's sweet smile and loving eyes
and fell in love again with her.
