A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Although the doctor quickly arrived at Tyrone Mansion, Jacob felt like he had been waiting for an eternity. Burning with anxiety, he held Emily in his arms like a helpless child.

"Mr. Gu, please lay Miss Bai flat on the bed. We'll have to run a check-up," said the doctor. She was an elderly woman, renowned all over the world for her remarkable skills. Behind her was an entourage of medical staff attending to her requests.

Jacob carefully placed Emily on the bed and then stood aside with a nervous, compunctious expression in his eyes.

Before long, the doctors diagnosed and treated Emily's bruises, before they finally gave her an intravenous drip.

"Miss Bai will be okay, but she needs to rest. In the next few days, be sure not to engage in any sexual activities with her..." the elderly doctor advised.

Jacob's face darkened when he heard the doctor's last sentence. He cast a cold look at her and replied, "I don't need to be reminded of that! I know how far to go and when to stop."

Although he was offended by the doctor's words, he eventually calmed down and refrained from getting angry.

After the doctor and her entourage left, Jacob sat in front of the bed and looked at Emily pensively. Jacob's eyes reflected the way he felt about the world: dark and cold. Its depth resembled that of a black hole in space, an air of sorrow and unsettling pain emanating from his gaze.

Suddenly, Emily's breathing sped up, and her long eyelashes trembled, as if in pain. However, she kept her eyes shut the whole time.

Jacob realized that she was awake and she was just refusing to open her eyes because she did not want to see him.

In consideration of her health, Jacob stood up slowly, reached out to tuck Emily in, and then walked out of the room.

When the door clicked shut, Emily opened her eyes. Muddled, she looked at the ceiling, deep in thoughts. A crystal clear drop of tear, slipped down her face and landed on the pillow.

The next day, rays of light cast squares onto the glossy stone floor, reflecting onto several objects in the room. The warm ball of light filtered through her thin eyelids and woke her from her slumber.
