"Jack Ogden will hurt your Aunt believing that she is the current leader of the Society so I had to step in," Jacob explained why he got bruises while Lilian didn't.
J closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She thought that Jack Ogden was considerate and did not hurt her aunt, it turns out that her husband takes the beating that was intended for her aunt. When she opened her eyes, there was a glint in it that Jacob immediately noticed but soon faded away once her eyes landed on the cut on Jacob's lips.
"I am so stupid to think that you won't get hurt," J said in a low voice that cracked in the end. As soon as she said that, tears started to roll down her cheeks. Her hands fell on her side before she wrapped them around Jacob's waist. She rested her forehead on Jacob's chest and started sobbing. "I'm so…sorry," She said, still believing that it was all her fault. Everything happens because of her. It all started when she appeared. Jacob was hurt and almost died protecting her.
