A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Only the sound of Jacob's voice echoed throughout the empty valley.

Jacob's eyes were burning and his chest felt heavy as if it were filled with lead. He could no longer see clearly.

'Is she really really gone? Forever?'

All of a sudden, some memories flashed through his mind and as much as he tried to hold it in, the pain came out like an uproar from his throat in the form of a silent scream. The muffled sobs wracked against his chest.

'I wonder if she felt fear and helplessness before she fell off the cliff?'

Emily was so delicate that she should be taken good care by him, but he failed to fulfil his duty towards her. ·

'Why...why wasn't I the one to fall instead of her ?'

When Cherry finally calmed down, she rushed to the edge of the cliff only to see

a man on his knees staring down the cliff with two eyes filled with sorrow as if he'd lost the most precious thing in his life. ·

Cherry noticed Jacob's tears, and the scene

squeezed the life out of her heart.

In her eyes, Jacob was a strong man with an indomitable spirit who shouldn't have to cry for a woman.

'Why is he crying over a woman?'

The idea that, "men are superior to women" was ingrained in Cherry's mind. The thought of a man crying over a woman was so foreign to her, she felt jealous of Jacob's love for Emily. However, a part of her felt fortunate

that Emily fell over the cliff and died. ·

In that case, Jacob's strong feelings for the woman would belong to her eventually. ·

Cherry sat beside Jacob cautiously and gently comforted him, "Don't be sad. There's no use shedding tears for the dead. You can take me in her place. I will replace her and live for her..."
