A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

In Tyrone Mansion, Emily rested for a while, then began to worry about her relationship with Jacob. 'Now he hates me so much. What could I do to clear the air?' she wondered desperately.

Since waking up, she had not seen Beryl even once and she missed her terribly.

Thoughts of her daughter galvanized her into action. Despite still being weak, she managed to rise and walk out of the room.

Finding a maid cleaning the corridor, she inquired about Beryl. She was relieved to hear that she was attending kindergarten on Jacob's instructions.

Physically, Beryl had recovered enough to attend kindergarten like other children and it was good for her to be with her own peer group. Perhaps it would also help to balance out the trauma that she had endured recently.

'Jacob had forgotten me, but what if he also forgot Beryl?

If so, then she must be very sad, ' she worried.

There was so much to regret. The past was riddled with decisions which she now knew were not wise. For the past few weeks she had endured the urge to cry and bemoan her lot to the sky. She had been unable to release her grief and had needed to bury it deep inside herself.

They had once planned to regain all the sweet memories of their past. However, they had lost much more now. Even their future together hung in the balance.

At this moment, Emily wanted nothing more than a healthy Jacob. Therefore she decided that she would have to make him fall in love with her again within one month. Surely she could accomplish this? They had loved so deeply before.

She hoped fervently that Sean was just joking, and that he had lied to her.

She prayed that his words had been fake. All she could do was to cling to the hope that his talk of the chip and distorted memories was all false.

Unfortunately, she fully knew what Sean was capable of. His selfishness knew no limits and he would do anything in order to reach his goals.

Now she had no choice but to follow the path which he made for her.

She tightly pinched her eyes shut for a long while. Finally opening them she took a deep calming breath and, though tears still clung to her long lashes, her eyes were full of determination.
