A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 358 In Your Name, Crown His Surname

Words had left Emily. Her mouth hung with lips slightly parted and her eyes were as wide as they could stretch.

"Well, you..." Emily searched her mind for something reasonable to say, but her mind was blank. All the while, Jacob's eyes desperately searched hers, waiting for a feedback.

Suddenly, Jacob's phone started ringing, breaking the uneasy tension in the atmosphere. Emily breathed a sigh of relief, as she thanked the phone for saving her in her mind.

Jacob, however, was quite disappointed by the call, blaming it for interrupting such an important moment between them. He reached into his pocket and answered the phone impatiently, but just after a few seconds the blood drained from his face, leaving behind a sickly pallor. He listened quietly and then locked Emily in a serious gaze.

"The babysitter finally confessed. Leona was behind it all," said Jacob.

Emily's face contorted with a venomous outburst. "Just as I had suspected. I knew it was her."

Who else would want Emily dead?

"The babysitter asked to see you, but I refused her," he said. Jacob knew that Emily was too weak to even walk around. There was no way Jacob would allow Emily to leave the hospital and see that wicked babysitter. Was the babysitter not ashamed of what she had done? How dare she ask to see Emily?

"Give me the phone. I would like to ask her why she did such a horrible thing to me." Emily reached her hand out to Jacob and insisted. Emily had never been unkind to Zoe, the babysitter. She couldn't understand why a kind and simple person like Zoe would betray her trust.

"Here you go." Jacob handed the phone to Emily.

Emily held the phone close to her ears but didn't speak a word. After a few seconds of silence, Emily heard Zoe crying from the other end of the call. She seemed remorseful.

"Miss Lu, I didn't mean to harm you. Please forgive me. I beg your forgiveness. I was forced to do it against my will, Miss Lu. Please give me another chance. I want to make up to you," Zoe pleaded.

"You said you were forced. Well, I would like to know why someone forced you to poison me. And why were you appointed to carry out such treachery?" asked Emily.
