"Emily, please don't do this. There's no..." Jonas began.
But Emily didn't want to hear anything else he had to say, so she interrupted him. "Sorry, but I've already made up my mind." The sound of Jacob and the children joyfully playing in the living room made her unyielding in her decision. As a result, she spoke to Jonas as if he was a stranger. She didn't bother to give him an explanation and simply hung up the phone.
At that point, Emily didn't need to see any more evidence from Jacob. What had happened the past few days between them was more than enough proof for her to stay away from Jonas. Additionally, she had to make a choice between her friends and her family. As a mother, she was naturally inclined to choose the latter.
When Jonas realized that she had hung up the phone on him, his blood immediately started to boil. Despite that, he knew that he couldn't give up so easily. For that reason, he inhaled deeply to try and stay calm. He tried calling Emily's number again. Unfortunately, his caller ID had already been blocked. He was so upset that he exclaimed in anger, "Damn it! I can't believe she's done this! I thought this was supposed to be an easy job!" In irritation, he lit a cigarette and started to smoke heavily. After a few more failed attempts at contacting Emily, he finally gave up on her. Instead, he dialed another number.
"Why did you call me out of the blue? Don't tell me that you can't even handle a woman like Emily? You're a psychologist for crying out loud! Shouldn't this be a walk in the park for you?" The person on the other end of the phone seemed to know what was going on and mocked Jonas.
Jonas had only been given one task. Therefore, it wasn't so difficult to guess why he was calling.
Upon being heavily ridiculed, Jonas stubbed out the cigarette in his hand out of rage. Anyone who saw his face at that moment would see the embarrassment he felt. After a short pause, he replied in a troubled tone, "Everything was going smoothly. Then, all of a sudden, she said she doesn't want to see me anymore. I can't even think of a single reason why she wanted to end our friendship so abruptly."
Even though Jonas had never really taken a liking to Emily, he was still completely infuriated after being cut off like this. For that reason, a wrathful sneer made its way on his face. In Jonas' eyes, Emily was just like everyone he'd fooled before. He had honestly thought that it was going to be a piece of cake. As a doctor, he hadn't even taken her seriously since he knew that she had suffered from a mental illness in the past.
The first time that Jonas had heard that his job was to manipulate Emily to do his bidding, he had gotten offended. In his mind, a task that easy was like an insult to his professional capabilities. But now, he regretted every single time he had taken Emily for granted, since he was in deep trouble.
"Her attitude changed all of a sudden. Apart from her not wanting to see me anymore, the way she spoke was something I'v
eemed that everyone knew the importance of what was going on inside that particular room. Anyone who walked by did it quickly and tried their best to walk as quietly as possible. No one dared to make any noise to disturb the people in the room.
"Think back to this part of your life." A young woman suddenly started talking. She spoke in a very gentle and calm manner. Louis even felt a little bit relaxed because of her voice. "Your father comes home early after work. Your mother takes off his coat and places it aside.
Dinner is ready. You smell the aroma and you know the food will taste wonderful. You've been hungry for a long time. As a result, you secretly check your watch several times. Now that you finally see your father stepping inside the house, you feel the excitement. However, you notice that your parents are going to show off their love in front of you. So you interrupt them in a hurry. But in doing so, you accidentally knock over a family photo placed on the table near the entrance."
It wasn't the first time that Louis had accompanied Scott to receive treatment. Nevertheless, he was completely immersed in the scene depicted by Taylor's gentle and soothing voice. He looked up and met Taylor's eyes. She was still in the process of hypnotizing Scott not far away. When her lips opened and closed, Louis' thoughts were carried along with it.
Taylor was always compassionate and treated patients, friends, and even strangers with a smile. On the other hand, whenever she talked to Louis, he always felt like it was disingenuous. If he didn't already know the exact reason why she acted that way, he would have had to wonder about whether he had said something rude or offensive.
At the thought of this, Louis felt helpless and could only rub his nose in frustration.
Upon noticing the intense stare from Louis, Taylor met his eyes and glared at him. Despite being bothered, she didn't stop the work that had to be done.
Louis averted his gaze, feeling a little miserable.
