A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily realized that Mr. Barefoot was praising her beauty. She had never blushed that easily before, but now she felt her cheeks feverish. She could not help but look down.

"Hello, I'm Ja... Bear's fiancee. I came here specially to find him."

Mr. Barefoot didn't say anything. He just asked her to sit down and looked at the condition of her injured ankle. Then he asked her to stretch out her hand and diagnosed her by feeling her pulse.

"The injury to your ankle is not a problem. It will heal. But you've not recovered from a serious illness yet, and you're so tired and worried. You're extremely weak. I'd say it's a miracle that you survived till now. But you won't last three years if you go on like this."

After hearing what Mr. Barefoot said, Emily and Jacob both stared at him.

Emily never thought that she was getting this weak. When she realized that both her child and Jacob were dead, she had already wanted to die. So she didn't take care about her body at all.

Jack kept her alive by medicines and treatments, but he failed to prevent her health from deteriorating. Only when Magee told her that Jacob was still alive did she have the strength to live.

In order to find Jacob, the one she loved, she came to the mountain with her weak body.

It seemed she was in such poor health after the illness, but her body was so overtaxed that it was on the verge of surrender.

"Old man, you must save her!" Jacob said in a slightly trembled voice, with a pale face, and dark eyes filled with worry and tension.

Mr. Barefoot laughed with pride. Tugging at his beard, he said, "There's no disease I can't cure in this world. Since she is your wife-to-be, she is worthy of my help. Of course, I'll do my best."

Emily was not as worried as Jacob. However, she said in a grateful tone, "Thank you for helping me, and thank you for saving my fiance."
