Chapter 1473 Visit The Patient


    "We''re innocent, Mr. Gu. We were only defending ourselves. Jonas hit us out of nowhere. We even


    have bruises as proof." One of Jacob''s men did his best to exin what happened, but he was so


    nervous when he spoke that it was a little difficult to understand.


    When they had received the order to tail Jonas, they had been told that he was just a doctor. However,


    they hadn''t expected a doctor to be so aggressive that he would start a fight without even saying a


    single word.


    Jacob checked on their injuries and determined that they were telling the truth.


    At that point, everything Emily knew about Jonas was not as it seemed. Jacob narrowed his eyes and


    stared nkly at a corner of his office. He was trying to figure out what was truly going on.


    "I need you to tell me everything that happenedst night, from start to finish." Jacob had no choice but


    to ask his two men for details. Ever since Jonas arrived in their lives, Jacob couldn''t think of a single


    reason as to why this random doctor had approached his wife.


    The fact that Emily was upset with him again and the fact that his men were injured lit a fire inside of


    Jacob.


    Especially since, once again, it was all Jonas'' fault. Jacob''s expression clearly showed the hatred he


    felt for that man. He clenched his fists with all his might in irritation. As a result, his hands turned


    completely red.


    "When we got off work, we followed Jonas as nned. We were sure that we were hidden but he


    suddenly came straight to us and threw a punch for no reason. Jonas is an experienced fighter. If only


    one of us had been there, I''m sure we would have been the one in the hospital right now." Both men


    told their story the most urate way they could. They didn''t dare to leave out any detail since Jacob


    was already extremely upset at that moment.


    They just hoped that Jacob would believe them and put all the me on Jonas.


    After hearing their stories, a faint smile made its way onto Sam''s face. He was a little bit amused and


    found Jonas to be a somewhat interesting man. He was definitely not who he seemed to be. Jacob


    then said, "All right, I believe your words. Sam, don''t punish these two. They are also victims in this


    matter. They were beaten up for no reason, so just let them rest for today." Still feeling amused, Sam


    saw the pitiful state of the two men and had quite a difficult time trying not tough at them.


    They had seemed so tough and confident about being able to do the task without any problem. But in


    the end, they had been caught by the person they were tailing and had even gotten into a fight with


    him.


    However, it was quite inappropriate tough at the matter since Jacob was deeply perturbed.


    After hearing the whole story, Jacob could only me Jonas for what had happened to him.


    There was no doubt in Jacob''s mind that Jonas deserved it as well. Not only had he acted so brazenly


    towards a married woman, but he had also picked a fight with two men. He was definitely stupid if he


    had thought that he would get out of this unscathed.


    "Well then, you''re both clear. You can go now!" Although Jacob had no intention punishing them, he


    didn''t want to see their faces at that time either.


    Even though Jonas was clearly at fault, the men involved were linked to Jacob, and it didn''t need a


    detective to find that out. How could he possibly clear his name when all fingers were pointing at him?


    It would have been fine if no one knew about the matter. Unfortunately, news was already spreading


    around. Even in Emily''s mind, he was the one who had caused it. How could he possibly make her


    understand that he was innocent?


    Jonas was acting like a victim even though he was the one who had started it all. At that thought, even


    Jacob had to admit that Jonas'' trick was brilliant.


    "Boss, why do you seem so upset about this? It doesn''t seem like that big of a deal, honestly. It was


    just a fight, and both sides got an even share of pain. Please calm down, okay?" Sam didn''t want to


    offend the two, so he waited for them to leave before saying these things.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Jacob''s men looked up to him, and Sam didn''t want them to feel like they were expendable.


    ''Since it wasn''t their fault, why is Mr. Gu still so pissed about this? And how did he find out about it?''


    Sam had a lot of questions in his mind, but he couldn''t possibly figure them out himself. There was no


    other choice but to wait for Jacob to respond.


    A few moments after Sam''s question, Jacob let out a deep sigh. "I''ve calcted my every move more


    than a thousand times but I''m still one step behind that damn doctor! He hit me where it hurts the most


    with his most recent move."


    Sam had no clue what Jacob was talking about.


    "Boss, what do you mean? I don''t understand," Sam asked in confusion.


    It was normal for Sam to be left out of a few things in Jacob''s life, especially his private affairs. He


    wasn''t even aware that recently, Emily and Jacob had had a big fight because of Jonas.


    Jacob had neither the time nor the patience to try and exin it to Sam. Instead, he thought about how


    he could possibly patch things up with Emily. Given that Emily waspletely on Jonas'' side this time,


    he had to give it his best to clear things up with her.


    Meanwhile, with the news that Jonas was hospitalized, Emily found out which hospital he was in and


    quickly headed there.


    Upon arriving, she saw him lying in bed, covered in bandages. Witnessing him like that left Emily


    feeling utterly troubled.


    "Jonas, are you all right? I heard that you were beaten yesterday and that both of your ribs are broken.


    I was worried, so I came here to see it for myself." Emily was restless when she realized that Jonas


    could only move his eyes at that moment.


    ''Jacob went too far this time. There''s no reason in the world that could warrant a beating this severe, ''


    Emily thought.


    Jonas wanted to sit up so he could properly greet Emily but his body hurt too much to do so. He had no


    choice but to respond while he stayed in ce. "I''m fine. You don''t have to worry too much. I''m still able


    to talk, as you can see."


    Emily had had tears in her eyes the moment she entered that room. However, by the time Jonas


    finished speaking, she couldn''t help but smile and giggle.


    Jonas was in such a bad condition but he still wanted toe across as a tough man. But if he was


    really fine, then he would have been able to move something besides his eyes.


    Because of his treatment, almost every part of his body was wrapped in bandages. His appearance


    reminded Emily of a mummy.


    Jonas tried his best to smile but he still came across as somewhat pitiful. Emily was a little hesitant at


    that moment because she knew that her own husband was the one who had caused this. Jacob was


    the only one who had the motive to do so.


    Emily recalled the past few days before this incident happened. Jacob had beenpletely hostile to


    Jonas since the first time they had met. They had even had a big fight since he had conducted a


    background check on Jonas behind her back. After everything that had happened, the idea of Jacob


    sending people to beat him up wasn''t that far-fetched.


    "Emily, what are you thinking about? You seem like your mind is racing off somewhere." Even though


    Jonas could only stay still, he still noticed that Emily was feeling somewhat uneasy. Naturally, he had to


    ask why.


    Upon hearing his question, Emily suddenly came back to her senses. It was not until then that she


    realized that she had been so distracted to the point that she had forgotten that Jonas was beside her.


    "Jonas, I have to tell you something. I think I know who did this to you," Emily shamefully stated.


    After struggling with her morality for a long time, Emily thought that it was the right thing to confess.


    After all, Jonas was the victim and had the right to know the truth.


    Emily wanted to clear her conscience. She knew that if she were toe clean, Jacob would inevitably


    be in serious trouble.


    However, she also believed that as an adult, Jacob should bear the consequences for everything he


    had done. He should have known that actions like this would inescapably bite back someday.
