A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob did not tell Emily about what he did to Cherry because he didn't want to add to her worries.

However, Cherry showed up in front of Jacob the next day, safe and sound. With an odd mix of fear and resentment in her tone, she said, "Bear, I bet you weren't expecting to see me here, right? You must be surprised."

Jacob stared at her with a straight face and said, in a cold voice, "How lucky you are to survive such a predicament, you coward! How dare you show up here!"

Intimidated, Cherry took a few steps back, shivering at the thought of what Jacob did to her. Finding it hard to keep her anger in, she said contemptuously, "I hope you know that I am not so fond of you anymore. But I promise to get my revenge on you and your bitch, Amy or Ely, whatever!"

Jacob's face darkened and he spat out in fury, "Oh, I urge you to try. Just see what I'll do to you then!"

"I'm not afraid of you anymore! I've got a man who is much better than you! I swear you'll regret hurting me!"

As soon as she finished making threats, she retreated as fast as she could, with her tails tucked firmly between her legs. Ten minutes later, Cherry came back again, with the man she had told Jacob about.

"So this is where she lives now, right?" Magee eyed the shabby house warily and frowned with disappointment. "Do you have any doctors in this village?"

By "she", Magee was referring to Emily.

"Yes, we do," Cherry answered honestly. 'Why do all handsome men come here to fawn over that bitch, Amy or Ely?' Cherry's face contorted with venomous outburst.

She stole a glance at Magee's handsome face and could not help feeling shy. Imitating the way Emily talked, Cherry said gently, "There is an old man who lives here. He is the best doctor in our village. He is the one who saved Bear from imminent death..."

"Bear?" Magee repeated the rustic name in a pensive mood while tapping his chin with his finger.

Cherry bit her lip while pointing at Jacob and said, "He...he is Bear. He once was madly in love with me but when I refused to marry him, he hung me from the edge of that cliff..."
