A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Victor frowned, as his eyes turned gloomy when Emily refused to help Anne. With a cold-blooded smile on his face, he said,"Even if you don't want to, you don't have a choice."

Victor turned around and walked away, as if he did not feel the need to explain anything else to Emily.

Stunned, Emily stood there motionless, her heart sinking to the floor with each passing second. She had no intentions of sitting around, and waiting for death.

However, in the following days, the number of guards outside Emily's ward increased. She couldn't even go to the lady's room unsupervised. Emily felt like a caged bird, whose wings had been cut off.

Meanwhile, the day of the surgery was fast approaching.

One day, Emily slid the curtains open and thought about jumping out of the window. However, when she looked down, she spotted two bodyguards with sunglasses at the bottom, staring at her motionlessly.

Frustrated, Emily was starting to get desperate.

She quickly slid the curtain back. 'Out of sight, out of mind, ' she thought.

'Jacob, if you don't find me in time, your lovely little girlfriend won't have a heart left to give to you...'

Hopeless, Emily breathed a sigh of resignation, when she heard the euphonious voice of a girl. "Hi," the girl said to her.

Emily looked up to the only person in the ward, apart from her. "Who are you..." Emily asked cautiously.

"My name is Anne," replied the girl, as she walked towards her, with a gentle smile on her lips. She reached out her hand, and said,"Hello there, cutie."

Emily came to herself and shook her hand. "Hi, I'm Emily."

'What's Anne doing here all of a sudden?' she thought. Victor had made it quite clear that he did not want them to learn about each other.

As if she could reach Emily's mind, Anne smiled and then put her finger on Emily's lips. Two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks. "Hush, don't tell him that I sneaked in to your room," she whispered.
