A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

In another ward.

Emily sat up on her bed lost in thoughts, as sleep eluded her. Yet for some inexplicable reason there was a strange calmness in her mind.

Although the surgery was just a few hours away, Emily did not feel nervous or terrified. She believed, deeply in her heart, that Jacob would find her and come to her rescue at the last minute.

Sometimes, a woman's intuition could be a magical thing.

Suddenly, someone pushed the thick wooden door of Emily's room wide open.

Emily turned around and saw that it was just another doctor. When she turned around again in disappointment, the doctor said to her,"Miss Bai, I'm here to help you escape."

"What?" exclaimed Emily, as her eyes widened. Emily could not believe her ears as she looked at the doctor again earnestly. When the doctor unveiled her face, she realized that it was the same girl who had helped Anne and Emily escape the other day by disguising herself as one of them.

"Miss Anne sent you to help me, right?" asked Emily.

"Yes, we have no time. Please follow me, Miss Bai. I have dealt with the safeguards outside and the CCTV cameras have been jammed. As for the locator in your body..." The woman briefly explained everything to Emily, while slowly removing the locator from her body with caution.

In truth, Emily was convinced by the woman but still, she kept vigilant.

The woman knew what Emily was thinking as she said,"I'm waiting for your decision, Miss Bai."

The sun was going to rise in a few hours. Time was of the essence, as she was soon going to be lying on a bed helplessly and unwillingly waiting to have the operation, if no one had come to her rescue.

'Anne did not want to have the heart transplant, so she has no reason to harm me. Moreover, this woman had already helped me once...'

After careful consideration, Emily expressed her decision quickly and said,"Okay, I'll go with you."

Everything was smooth sailing after that. Emily did not know how Anne had managed to pull it off, but all the safeguards that were installed to monitor Emily's movements were gone. The whole hospital was quite and empty.
