A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

While Jacob was lost in the passionate kiss, Emily's stomach lurched suddenly, as the vile spew forced its way out of her mouth.

Although, Jacob stepped back as fast as he could, a bit of projectile vomit overshot and hit him, as the foul-smelling liquid dripped down his clothes. In an instant, Jacob's face turned purple with rage.

Zola, the house maid, who had been watching them secretly since they stepping into the house, immediately ran towards them, looking to wipe Jacob's clothes. She suggested, "Sir, the lady is very drunk. How about letting me take care of her..."

Jacob pushed her hand away and said, "No. Go away."

Zola felt a twinge of envy. "Okay," she replied, with her voice down and left.

Emily's stomach kept contracting violently and forcing everything up and out, as she heaved again and again. Her face was pale and dripping bile, sweat and tears. She sank to her knees and retched on the floor. She looked so sick that it broke Jacob's heart as he just stood there watching her, helplessly. Ignoring the vomit on his clothes, Jacob squatted beside her and gently patted her back.

Jacob wiped her drooling face with a towel and handed her a glass of water.

"Thank...thank you." After she drank some water and retreated to lie down on the sofa, Emily did not even have the energy to finish a complete sentence without retching. She looked at the man beside her and muttered, "Jacob?"

Jacob threw the dirty towel into the trash can with a calm facial expression and turned to her.

"I'm going to sing," she said. Emily did not wait for Jacob's response and began to sing, "Fool, fool. I was a small fool, and then I became a big fool..."

Jacob frowned at her shrieking and pleaded, "Stop singing."

Completely inebriated, Emily ignored him, and continued to sing in an extremely high-pitched volume, "Breaking up happily. Wish me happiness. I can find a better boyfriend."

Jacob softened his countenance and caressed her hair. He joined her in the song and sang with her, "Breaking up happily."

Feeling encouraged, Emily sang louder and louder until her eyes reddened and her voice became hoarse.

"No. I don't want to sing anymore. I want to watch TV."

Jacob, who had been putting up with her incessant babbling, rubbed the part between his eyebrows and said, "No, you need to go to sleep."
