A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 231 I Only Belong To You

After much pleading from Emily's part, Jacob's obstinacy diminished. He could never really turn Emily down, so after managing to stand his ground for a while he softened his tone. "... Fine. Let's leave now," he said.

As soon as he agreed to her requests, he withdrew his tenderness and glanced through everybody, coldly, like a hot knife cutting through butter. "I will let you go, but only this one time," Jacob added.

Since Mark was not around, nobody else dared to stand in their way. After the couple left hand in hand, Debby sat down on the ground all of a sudden, with her head down, lost in deep thoughts.

Soon Abbott and Bess went inside to visit Tina, while Andrew and Debby were left outside, forbidden from entering.

Meanwhile, Jack who happened to be in the same hospital, soon came to learn about the news. In spite of the doctor's refusal, he came over to see Emily, but she was already long gone. Broken-hearted and disappointed, Jack had to go back to his ward without success.

Ironically, different people shared the same sentiments with Jack in the same day.

Outside the hospital.

Jacob walked Emily to the car with his caring arms around her shoulders. He did not ask her about anything, instead he sat her down inside and told Sam, "Go back to the Tyrone Mansion."

"Jacob, why don't you ask me about what happened?" asked Emily, in a hoarse voice. Emily finally broke the awkward silence, and snuggled down in Jacob's arms. She looked like a lion cub cuddling up to its mother.

Jacob patted Emily's head gently with his hands, while brushing her long and soft hair between his fingers. "I want you to tell me, but it's okay if you don't want to talk about it. I'll understand," he said.

Emily's nose twitched, while drops of tears fell down her face. "I don't feel like talking about it right now. But I'm feeling terrible," she said.

The sound of Emily's trembling voice, broke Jacob's heart almost instantly. He gently raised her tear-stained face and tried to wipe it dry with his kisses. "Don't be afraid. I am here for you, always," he said.
