Jacob tried his best to pull him who was drowned onto the bank.
Looking at his whitened face, Jacob immediately gave him CPR.
“Liam!”
The man was so pale and no response was given by him.
Jacob was so worried that he almost cried and speeded up the CPR, “Liam!”
With the Jacob’s help, Liam vomited out some water and became sober gradually.
Noticing his reaction, Jacob was relieved.
After a short rest, Jacob looked at Liam unsatisfied, “You risk your life merely at a necklace.”
Liam didn’t answer his question and just looked at the lake.
After a few seconds, he stood up and walked to the car, “Let’s go.”
Liam refused to give him a reply so Jacob stopped asking.
There’s no way to hear his answer if he was unwilling.
It’s already in autumn, and Jacob was afraid that they would catch a cold with wet clothes so he took a
hotel room for them and asked the secretary to give them some dry clothes.
Since they arrived in the hotel, Liam didn’t say even a word.
He stood silently at the window, looking through the glass to observe the gray sky and smoking heavily.
The light of the cigars flickered and a few moments later, he was taking the sixth cigar.
When Jacob came out of the bath room after a shower, the room was full of annoying smoke.
At the glance at Liam who was frowning, he could do nothing for him.
With him for years, it’s the first time for him to see his frowning because Liam was competent for
everything.
All the heroes failed to escape from the test of love.
Liam took quite a long time to stop pondering and had a shower as well.
With the new clothes, he asked Jacob to drive home together.
On the way, he felt cold and shivered partly because of the open windows.
He was in a bad mood and didn’t think of the reason. He just closed the window and took a rest.
He considered himself sleepy but he felt colder.
Arriving home, he found his body so weak that he had no power and his head seemed to explode at
the next moment.
He extended his eyebrows to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling and walked to the house.
“Jacob.” He stopped to look at Jacob following him when he touched the metal handle of the door.
Jacob stopped as well, confusedly, “Yes? What’s wrong?”
“You should not mention what happened today to her.”
Liam was unwilling to make her guilty so he changed his attitude against his will.
He would save their love with his method and let her fall in love with him again.
Hearing this, Jacob frowned and was emotional.
“Promise me!” Noticing his silence, Liam asked him again a little angrily.
“Well. I promise you.” Jacob nodded.
Then Liam opened the door and walked in.
“Mr. Wilson and Mr. Thompson, you are back. Now the dishes are all served on the table. I will add
your bowls and chopsticks right now.”
Having a meal in the hall, Rita was stupefied holding her chopsticks, after hearing what Mrs. Davis
said.
Although they didn’t have a fight this afternoon, it’s awkward for her to meet him again,
Because sitting at the same table was embarrassed, she finished her dinner immediately to avoid the
meeting.
Liam was smart and he knew what she meant.
He looked at the rice in her bowl, which was almost full, so he told Mrs. Davis before she left, “Just
prepare Jacob’s. I am not hungry and I want to go to bed now.”
Jacob understood everything and felt heartbroken at Liam’s back, clenching his hands.
Noticing Liam went to the second floor, Rita was stupefied but later comprehended the meaning.
She thought that she had already told him her opinions so clearly that he must give up the effort to
compensate her.
Well, that’s great.
Taking a deep breath, she resumed her dinner.
But her peaceful reaction dissatisfied Jacob who cared for Liam.
He was seated directly across Rita and said satirically at the glance of Rita, “Rita, you have a good
appetite today. That’s weird.”
She ignored his mockery.
She continued to get more dishes to her bowl but the next moment, the plate was pulled away from her
by Jacob.
So Rita tried to get another dish, which annoyed Jacob, “Because of you, Liam was almost drowned to
death. How can you have the dinner so naturally?”
But he regretted saying it at once.
He had promised Liam that he would not mention it but now he revealed it out of anger.
At this moment, he was so repentant that he wanted to slap himself.
“What do you mean by say he was almost drowned to death?” Rita was puzzled.
Jacob opened his mouth to answer her question but he finally kept silent recalling Liam’s order.
He fixed the questioner with a hostile glare and left furiously.
But he was instantly stopped by Rita’s hands.
“Tell me what happened. What did you mean just now? What happened after I left today?”
“I have nothing to tell you.” Jacob gave her a look of disgust and was about to leave.
Noticing his silence, Rita was not anxious but smiled, “Well, if you still refuse to tell me, I will ask him
face to face.”
She must know the details.
She became serious and was ready to go to the second floor.
“Rita!” Hearing this, Jacob called her name hastily.
“So you have something to tell me now?” Rita paused and looked at him.
Liam was the Achilles’ heel to him.
If Liam knew that he failed to keep his promise, he might be killed.
But if he told the whole thing to Rita…
After the deliberation, Jacob decided to tell her what she wanted to hear, “In order to pick the necklace,
Liam jumped into the lake to search for it. He was almost dead there.”
Rita was surprised obviously.
He treated it so valuable?
What she did in the past was so important to him?
She looked at the second floor emotionally, “Liam, it doesn’t worth your life.”
“I don’t understand why he loves you so much now?”
“Love me so much?” Rita smiled bitterly and refuted his idea, “He loves Joey, not me. He’s just sorry for
what he did to me in the past and wants to compensate me.”
He didn’t love her. Absolutely not.
“He treats Joey well because she disguised herself as you with the help of her family bribing the nurses
there and said that she was the girl who stood by his side.” Jacob frowned and told her the secret,
which could solved their problem, “He always loves the one who protected him.”
Hearing the truth, Rita was shocked and speechless.
