A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily patiently explained to him that Donny was not a bad person, but Jacob was not convinced. Afraid of being misunderstood, she decided not to talk about it anymore as she didn't want to argue with her lover.

However, Emily didn't know that the reason why Jacob stopped her from visiting Donny was because he was jealous of Donny. Before they had reunited after a long separation, Emily stayed alone with Donny and in the villager's eyes, she was Donny's wife...

The mere thought of that made him burn with jealousy, and Donny became a thorn in his side.

How could Donny even think about stealing his wife from him!

Donny must have been a fool who knew nothing about how high the sky was or how thick the earth was!

It was a fine sunny day. Jacob had planned to go out and pick the herbal medicine Mr. Barefoot had prescribed to him. He needed to collect them and decoct the medicinal herbs for Emily to speed up the healing process.

Since Emily had nothing better to do, she asked Jacob to take her with him.

The thought of how lovely the day was and how Emily had been cooped up in the bungalow for several days, gave Jacob the idea to take her out for some fresh air. He went over to the next house and borrowed a cow, which he had carefully cleaned with a brush all by himself.

Jacob put his arms around Emily's waist to slowly pick her up and put her on the back of the cow. He even tied a rope round the horns of the cow so that she could hold onto something to steady her body.

Having been born and raised in the city, Emily was a city-girl at heart who had never sat on the back of an animal, such as a cow, before. The task seemed daunting at first, but once she managed to sit on the cow's back and find her balance, she was good to go.

"Do you think the cow's feeling unhappy because of me? Maybe it doesn't like it when people sit on its back?" Emily asked curiously.

"No." Jacob took a glance at the meek, old cow that had its head lowered to eat grass, and curled his lips into a soft smile as he said, "It must be happy to carry you. Come on. Sit properly. Don't be afraid."

With that, he took the ropes of the cow and said, "Let's go."

Emily sat on the back of the cow, swaying a little, and asked, "Would
