A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"J-Jacob!?" Jennifer gasped. She felt her spirit rise up as she remained in Jacob's arms. She tried to hide her happiness and gave a doubtful look, "Won't Miss Emily get jealous?"

Jacob paused then shrugged, "She trusts me."

Emily nodded, "Yeah. It's no big deal. Let's go." She tried to keep her jealousy in check as she gave a concerned smile, "You're injured so it's best if Jacob carries you to the car."

Jacob felt something was off with Emily and quickened his steps so he could put Jennifer down quickly.

He only planned to take Emily to the hospital for her regular check-ups. Bringing Jennifer along wasn't part of his plan at all!

Besides, Jacob only treated her as his sibling. There was no way for them to flirt with each other!

Jacob had forgotten that women had an tendency to say "yes" when it meant the opposite. That was what Emily felt right now, but she decided not to show her true feelings.

Once they had arrived at the hospital, Jennifer expected Jacob would carry her again but he didn't. Jacob asked the nurse to put her on a wheelchair. She felt a pang of disappointment as she clicked her tongue.

Jacob didn't care much about Jennifer as he only wanted to take Emily to do her regular check-ups. He finally felt relieved when he knew that Emily's physical condition was in good shape.

However, he noticed that Emily didn't utter a single word to him the whole time.

Surely there was something wrong!

"What's the problem? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" he asked. He looked at Emily, trying to think of a topic. He tried to talk to her about the weather, the news, anything she might be interested with.

Emily simply shook her head, "No. Nothing is bothering me."

Then he asked, "Is something disturbing you?"

"No," Emily answered coldly.

"You're lying," Jacob concluded, giving her nose a boop. As he was about to open his mouth to explain, Jennifer entered on a wheelchair being pushed by a nurse.

"Are you done?" asked Jennifer.
