Chapter 63 Locking Her Up

"What if I really die?"

A faint whisper mingled with the sound of cold water echoed in the bathroom, causing Jacob to startle.

"As long as I'm here, you won't die."

He had supreme power and wealth, along with access to top-notch medical resources worldwide. But This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

in this world, no doctor could guarantee a cure for advanced-stage cancer.

Even though he possessed everything like a god and could control the life and death of many, he

wasn't a true deity. He couldn't stop her.

A low chuckle resonated in his ears. "Jacob, my family owes your sister a life. How about using my life

to repay her?"

"Avy, if I wanted your life, I would have done it two years ago. Though I hate you, I also love you. That's

why I want you alive, so you can accept the punishment I have in store for you."

"You love me?" Avery sneered. "If you truly loved me, how could you betray me? I once mentioned that

I wanted to open a hospital, providing a green channel for those who couldn't afford medical treatment.

You spent billions building it and even named it Love Layla Hospital."

"I said I liked the ocean, but you chose the best location and Willowbrook for Layla."

"I said our child should be named Ethan, and you gave your child that name."

"Jacob, is this how you love me?"

The icy water slid down his firm jawline. His lowered eyelashes to conceal his emotions. He opened his

mouth as if he had countless words to say, but in the end, not a single word of explanation escaped his

lips.

Avery initially thought he might have some difficulties or reasons. Otherwise, given his character, he

would have changed all the passwords long ago.

However, he was a contradiction. His love for her did not prevent him from hating her.

Perhaps this was his revenge. He didn't want her to die, yet he knew every single point that made her

suffer.

The light in Avery's eyes gradually dimmed as she grabbed Jacob's collar and whispered in his ear,

"Your love truly disgusts me."

"Avy, don't provoke me. It won't do you any good."

Jacob had already taken off his belt, and a nefarious thought arose in Avery's mind. "What... What are

you going to do?"

"Avy, when one makes a mistake, they must face the consequences," Jacob spoke each word slowly

and deliberately. He swiftly bound her hands behind her back.

"No, you can't do this to me." Avery panicked.

But the man wouldn't listen. Instead, he quickly bound her hands and fixed her under the shower with a

towel.

Avery struggled with all her might, but it was futile. His unique method of binding left her unable to free

herself. Her tender skin turned bright red from her forceful attempts.

Jacob reached out and lifted her chin, his voice gentle as he murmured in her ear, "Avy, I did consider

giving up on you."

His gentle tone sent shivers down her spine.

"But whenever I see another man getting close to you, I can't help but want to tear apart everyone

around you. Tell me, where else did Nicholas touch you?"

The gentler Jacob became, the more extreme he went. Thinking about Nicholas's car accident, she

quickly explained, "My father is in the hospital, and I occasionally ask him to take care of things. That's

all there is to it. As for the apartment you mentioned, I have no idea what you're talking about. It was

recommended to me by my father's caretaker, and the landlord lives abroad."

"Avy, I want to believe you, but how do you explain him going to your place for several consecutive

days with groceries?"

Avery's eyes were red. This man was a madperson.

His possessiveness was suffocating.

"During those few days when I was sick and too weak to get out of bed, he was worried about me. He

bought groceries and cooked for me. Can't you see that he only stayed for one or two hours each time?

Once the meal was done, he would leave."

Jacob furrowed his brows and lightly rubbed her cheek with his fingertips. "Did you really get sick?"

Avery sneered. "In your eyes, am I incapable of getting sick? Am I incapable of feeling sad? Jacob, I'm

human, not a god. Since you've already decided to give up on me, then make a clean break. Don't drag

it out. I can promise you I won't have any further contact with Nicholas. Please let me go."

Jacob forced a pained smile. "I can't let you go."
