A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily closed her eyes as she let go of all the tears that welled up on her eyes. Every drop of tear fell down on Sean's eyes, and it felt like warm acid burning on his skin. He removed his hand on her face and paused for a few moments to look at Emily. There was a hint of malice on his eyes as he said, "I'm sorry, but everything will be fine after a sweet dream. I promise."

At the mention of the word 'dream', Emily's eyes immediately shot wide open. She shook her head violently and refuted, "No! I don't want to sleep. What difference does it make? It's going to kill me either way."

"You know what? I never intended to kill you, but you are really disappointing me right now. All I hope for you to do is be obedient," Sean said, the impatience evident in his tone. He then slightly pressed the syringe and a beam of liquid sprinkled out, making a beautiful curve in the air.

For Emily, the liquid looked more scary than beautiful. She had never once been frightened like this all her life. She struggled and tried to get up like a lunatic and even bit a few hands that were holding her down. "Let go of me! Let me go!" She yelled while thrashing on the bed.

No one expected that Emily would act like a crazy, wild animal, and soon, they all let go of their grip on her as they clutched onto their hands that were now red with bite marks.

At this very moment, Emily exerted all her strength and energy to struggle out of her binds and ran away from the room.

Sean tried to catch her, but he only got a piece of her white sleeve. The syringe then fell on his hand and on the ground, making Sean more furious and impatient.

"What are you just standing there for? Catch her!" Sean yelled, picking up the syringe on the ground as if it was the most precious and valuable thing on earth.

Emily looked back and saw the medical staff running after her. She knew better that it was impossible for her to run out of the Lu's building alone with all the people under the Lu family roaming around the building and especially her energy that was slowly draining would never let her make it outside.

Therefore, she decided to run above and as she reached the rooftop, she stood on the edge of the high-rise building, waiting for Sean.

Within the span of two minutes, Sean and his subordinates arrived at the rooftop.

Sean could not help squinting his eyes from the sun light. His eyes widened in surprise as it focused on Emily standing on the edge with the wind blowing her medical gown and hair. "Cloris, get away from there! It's dangerous!" he yelled.

He then ran immediately towards her.

"Stop! Stay back!" Emily shouted. She was so weak and frail that she felt like a kite now waving in the strong wind. It seemed like she didn't need to jump. One strong push from a wind could make her fall down. She ignored this feeling and focused her attention to Sean. "One step closer, and I will jump down from here!" she threatened, pointing down.

Sean froze on his tracks. His face fell and eyes darkened. "You… you would rather die than be with me."
