A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Tina hadn't spoken to Mark for several days now because she was still angry with him for taking the doctor away from her.

'What's so special about that doctor? He even hurt with that horrible electric therapy for God's sake, ' Mark grumbled in his mind. He wanted that doctor gone and as far away from Tina as possible but at the same time, he also wanted to beat that doctor up.

'Who the hell does he think he is? Tina wouldn't even bother to look at him if she didn't need to!

It's so unfair that Tina wouldn't talk to me because of a stranger.' Mark thought. Maybe Tina just considered the doctor as her new toy, but that was enough for Mark to be jealous.

Mark couldn't remember how many days had it been since Tina stopped talking to him.

"Tina, how are you feeling today? Is there anything particular that you want to eat?" As usual, Mark tried desperately to get Tina to talk to him. He thought that Tina would finally let the whole doctor thing go.

Tina turned her head away from Mark. The scars on her face were being hidden by her curtain of hair.

Mark's heart still ached every time he saw Tina's face. But today he was sure that Tina would talk to him because he had some good news for her, "Tina, do you still remember Emily?" He asked.

No one dared to mention Emily when Tina was present because she was sure to lose her control.

But Mark knew clearly that Tina's illness had everything to do with Emily. He had read a lot of books about Tina's condition and tried all the methods to help her recover, and all led to one simple method --

Emily. Emily was the key.

If she was still alive and living happily with Jacob, Tina would never truly recover.

Tina's face turned the second she heard Emily's name.

"Emily is dead," Mark couldn't wait to tell her the news, "You don't need to worry about anything now. She's dead, Tina. She'll never be in your way again," he said excitedly.

"... she...what?" Tina felt as if someone had hit her on the head. She couldn't believe her ears - she was flummoxed.
