A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 335 Become a Full Fledged Man

Jacob became a little annoyed. He ignored Emily's words and drove on. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Emily turned to look at him and replied seriously, "I want you to pull over. Let's take turns to drive."

At first, Jacob thought Emily wanted to get out of the car, that's why he didn't believe what she had said. "Do you mean that you want to take turns with me?" he asked doubtfully.

"Do you think you are fit to be driving in this condition? Even if you don't care about your own safety, I care about mine."

"Well, I'll take your advice then," he answered. A tiny smile escaped Jacob's mouth, thinking that Emily still cared about him. He pulled over to the side of the road and switched seats with Emily. "I trust you," he said to Emily.

Emily didn't respond. She looked straight ahead and started the car skillfully.

Jacob looked at her tenderly and found a sense of harmony they once had again. He smiled and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

A sudden rush of anger surged up within Emily. 'How stupid is Jacob! Why did he attend the cocktail party just to get himself in trouble, especially when he's injured already? He is just looking for trouble.

How could he be so childish?" she wondered.

Emily's complaints were almost at the tip of her tongue, but she held back her anger. "Hospital," she answered, with a straight face.

"I don't want to go there," he said.

"It's not up to you," she replied.

For the first time since he knew her, Jacob felt the strength and determination in her tone. She had changed a lot over the past four years. She was not the gentle, soft-spoken girl she once used to be.

Whatever! She was just who she was. That was enough for Jacob.

Jacob earnestly prayed that the road ahead would be long or even endless so that he could stay with her like this until the end of time.

"Emily," he whispered her name.

Emily heard his calling but she didn't react to him. She pressed her lips, waiting for him to continue.

"I am sorry," he said.
