A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob immediately stopped the news from spreading out, but there was nothing he could do to stop the heated discussion on the Internet. Almost every person in the city had found out about Beryl.

Emily, worried and desperate, called Jacob and asked him how to deal with the news about Beryl.

When faced with a difficult situation, Emily would still subconsciously turn to Jacob for help. In any case, the exposure of Beryl's existence to the public was something Jacob did not want, especially since she was said to have such a special relationship with Jacob.

Good or bad, everything was exposed to the public.

Although, Jacob was also distressed about the problem, he didn't show any signs of weakness in his tone. "I promise I will not let this hurt you or Beryl. Don't worry. I am going to fix this," he assured.

When Jacob went out that day, he particularly ordered his people to pay close attention to those who followed him around and took photos, so that they could intercept and destroy the photos once the followers were found out. Unexpectedly, no one thought that there should be someone escaped.

This meant that Mr. Gu was also aware of the news.

Jacob's words gave Emily strength, as she finally settled down and said, "Thank you, Jacob."

"Beryl is my daughter, and it is my responsibility as her father."

"You..." It seemed like Emily was trying to say something, but before she could finish, she fell to the floor. All Jacob heard was a loud thudding sound, followed by the sound of the phone falling to the ground.

"Emily?" Jacob gasped.

"Manager Lu, what's the matter with you..." Jacob heard another person shrieking on the other side of the line.

In an instant, Jacob's heart sank and he rushed out of the office with the phone in his hand.

The hospital was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Emily's eyes fluttered open and the first thing she laid eyes on was the familiar face of a handsome man. Dazed and muddled, she said, "Jacob? What are you doing here? I... What happened to me?"

Emily tried to sit up, but Jacob gently insisted, "Don't move. You need to get some rest."
