A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Bang!" And just like that, the last thought of defense in Jacob's mind vanished.

There was no way Jacob could refuse Emily. She was like a bittersweet poison to him – he knew it was bad and could only hurt him, but he was still addicted to it.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. But before Jacob could answer, Sam came into the room and said, "Mr. Jacob, Miss Emily, I have the doctor with me now. So, if you–,"

" Not now, Sam. Please leave us alone for now," Jacob gently interrupted Sam without looking at his direction.

Sam didn't say a word in reply. He just carefully pulled the door closed and left with the medical staff right away.

Several hours had passed and it was already evening.

Emily finally woke up, but she felt more tired no matter how much sleep she had. Her body slightly ached when she tried to sit up.

As soon as her eyes adjusted to the light, she noticed that there was no one in the room with her. She felt sad and a little disappointed at the same time for no reason.

Emily owed Jacob her life for saving her last time.

This time it was Emily who saved Jacob's life. 'I think we're even now. We owe each other nothing from now on, ' Emily thought, looking at the dark skies outside the window.

After she finally gained her senses, Emily did not waste any time and immediately got up to leave. She dressed up and left the room as quickly as she could. As she stepped out of the hotel, she abruptly stopped. A thought suddenly crossed her mind and without further thinking, she went to the nearest drugstore and bought herself some birth control pills.

Meanwhile, Jacob was on his way back to the hotel with Emily's favorite porridge. Inside the elevator car, he looked at the porridge in his hand and imagined the smile on Emily's face when she ate it. When he reached the hotel floor, he briskly walked to his room with excitement. But his smile vanished when he came back to an empty room.

He put the porridge down the table and scanned the room, hoping that his eyes were just tricking him. But Emily was nowhere to be found. He could still smell a slight scent of her perfume. When he looked down, he found one of Emily's earrings that she accidentally left and immediately picked it up. He held it in his hands like a cherished treasure.

...

Emily came home more exhausted than she usually was, and she was welcomed by Beryl. After having a small talk with Beryl, she immediately went to her room for some rest. She didn't have enough energy, so she just climbed to bed without changing to her pajamas.

There was no one at home at that time except for Emily – Ina was out to buy some food at the supermarket, while Beryl was deeply asleep in the room. Much to her dismay, she got up to answer the door.
