A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"It's like..." Emily couldn't find the right words to explain so she used German and led Beryl out of the room.

Now it was just her and Jack alone in the room.

She had no plans of inviting him in but he still went in and even had a cute dog with him.

"Good, good. What did you eat? Because that's where you got your food poisoning," Emily said. She was still at a loss as to what to say but she still did her job. When she looked at him, she saw that his face was white as a sheet.

Meanwhile, Jack had opened his eyes to meet her eyes, "Emily," he murmured.

But Emily paid no attention to him.

He continued, "It wasn't food poisoning. It was you and I don't think I can ever be cured."

Emily bit her lips, and scolded him. "Just shut up."

"No, I'm not going to. I really think I'm dying..." Jack sounded so weak and he was heaving, "Emily, I was bitten by a dog yesterday," he whispered in a low voice.

Emily could tell he wasn't himself yet. He was delirious so she just kept making him talk, "Mhm, okay and then?"

"So I most likely have rabies now. Once you get rabies, there's no cure for that. This is probably the rabies already so just stay away from me or I might hurt you..."

Emily couldn't help but laugh, "Can you hear yourself?"

He was claiming his food poisoning was rabies. If he hadn't just been checked up, she might have believed his story.

Jack suddenly stood up to hold Emily in his arms, "Emily, I'm telling you the truth..."
