A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily broke away from Jacob's arms when Sam and the police arrived. She looked weak, as if she had no life left in her.

It was so close. Both of their lives were at stake few moments ago.

Jacob carried Emily into the car, and insisted that Emily be checked up thoroughly. After their near-death experience, since neither Emily nor Jacob was capable of driving, Sam volunteered to drive for them to the hospital.

After they arrived at the hospital, Jacob got off the car with Emily in his arms and dashed into the emergency room. Judging from his nervous look, the doctors in the emergency room got nervous and thought that the girl in his arms was either seriously hurt or on the verge of death. They immediately arranged for her to get checked up.

When they got the results, the attending physician reported to Jacob, "Mr. Gu, this young lady may have gotten frightened by a traumatic experience. But apart from that, everything is fine with her. All she needs right now is to have a good rest. If she still has body aches later on, you can bring her back at any time."

All the doctors involved, were distressed and worried until the attending physician announced the test results. Relieved, they couldn't help but complain secretly, "Oh my God! This is so typical of rich people. Just making a fuss for nothing. Ridiculous!"

"Oh, thank God!" Jacob heaved a sigh of relief, but he still held Emily so tight that no one could separate them.

Emily had returned to her senses, but she could hardly breathe of be Jacob's hug.

As she struggled to get away from him, Emily accidentally touched his face. When she felt his face burning up, she asked with surprise, "Why is your face so hot? Do you have a fever?"

"I don't care if I do," he said. Jacob lowered his face and gazed deep into her eyes. He was driven by strong emotions, as if nothing could take his eyes away from her. He loosened his hands reluctantly when he realized that he was cutting her blood circulation.

Emily reached out her hand to feel his forehead. "Your forehead is burning," she said.

"I know."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Well."

"Why don't you take care of yourself?"

Emily's soft hand caressed his forehead tenderly, her skin as smooth as a jade, bringing him a sense of calm and serenity.

"I enjoy being with you more," he answered. Jacob smiled, tightly holding her soft hands close to his chest. He was glad to see just how much Emily cared for him. He enjoyed every single moment of it.

Emily drew her hands back and turned to the doctor who was standing beside them and looked embarrassed, "Doctor, he seems
