A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob climbed down as fast as he could, but the rope was not long enough and he was still far from touching the cave underneath.

By the looks of it, the rope wasn't going to hold much longer either.

Jacob quickly made up his mind as he took out a dagger and cut the rope quickly.

He pulled himself close to that tree with all his strength as he finally caught a branch and jumped into the cave!

He could hear the voice from inside the cave draw closer towards the entrance.

Jacob couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Emily. He rushed to her and embraced her in his arms. "Emily, I've finally found you. I'm so happy that you are alive," he said.

Tears of joy burst out from Emily's eyes as she was just as happy to see him again. "Someone pushed me down. I thought I was going to die and I was never going to see you again..." she wept.

If she hadn't landed on the tree near the cave, she would have surely died.

There was a time when Emily did not fear death, but now everything had changed after she found Jacob. She didn't want to die, instead she wanted to live a good life with him.

"I knew you would come for me. I knew it..." Emily murmured.

"Of course I would! What else would I have to live for?" Jacob kissed away her tears and he felt so guilty he said, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I should have been there to protect you."

'If I had pushed Cherry down just now and jumped down afterwards, I would not have found her. I would have been dead, ' Jacob thought in his mind but he didn't mention that to Emily.

Furthermore, if he had not come down, she would have had no other way but to die here alone...
