A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 287 Tell Me What You Know

The next day

It was almost afternoon when Jacob finally woke up. Much to his disappointment, when Jacob opened his eyes, he found that Emily was not in bed.

Immediately, the beating of his heart surged up. Jacob jumped out of bed at once and called out her name, "Emily? Emily?"

But there was no answer. There was only absolute stillness. Not a sound could be heard either close at hand or in the far off distance. After Jacob looked around every nook and cranny, he did not find Emily, but instead his eyes lay upon a note she had left on the table.

In a row of handsome fonts, it read: Sorry, but I can't stay. You do not have to look for me. Goodbye, Jacob!

A presentiment of unease enveloped Jacob. He thought something bad must have happened. He scrambled to look for his phone, only to find that it had been turned off. When he finally turned it back on, he was showered with countless missed call notifications popping up on the screen.

Jacob ignored all the calls and hastily called Sam's number. "Check all outbound flights for today. Buses, ships, and all the vehicles that are leaving the city. Do it now!" Jacob ordered.

Sam, however, was startled by Jacob's rambling at fist. After a few seconds of processing all the information that Jacob had poured on him, Sam asked, "Sir, what's wrong? what happened..."

Jacob's breath came in short gasps as he tried to calm down. He somehow managed to squeeze out a few words from mouth, "Emily is gone."

Technically, she ran away from him.

Jacob's answer froze Sam's nerves for a second, then he answered, "Yes, Mr. Jacob! I'll get on it now"

The moment Jacob hung up the phone, his anger started to fade away. Instead, what appeared on his face was the expression of a man utterly disappointed and disheartened.

'That explains so much. She already had her own plans.

That's why she suddenly showed her indifference to the baby and even agreed to abort it. She cares about the baby so much. I should have know something was definitely wrong. No wonder she was so needy and docile for all these days. And last night, she seemed more kind and loving. Turns out she has been planning on this the whole time, ' Jacob concluded in his mind.

Emily must have put something in the meal last night to induce Jacob to sleep so deeply that he didn't even notice her leaving in the middle of the night.

None of the servants and bodyguards in the house noticed Emily leave last night, but she wouldn't have been able to pull off something like that on her own. She must have been helped by someone!
