A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Although Jacob promised to have a check-up in the hospital, Emily couldn't shake of the anxiety that had gripped her body. She held on to his arm desperately as if he would disappear if she let go.

Jacob extinguished his lust, and held her in his strong arms. His body was warm and toned as he hugged her, comforting to the touch.

As Jacob patted her on the back, Emily's breathing slowed. It was impossible to stay anxious or upset with him around. Then as her eyelids became heavy and drooped, he cuddled her until she fell asleep again.

But even in her sleep, she still had a frown on her face. Jacob couldn't understand what was wrong with her but his heart ached for her nonetheless. He gave her a soft kiss on the forehead and held her tight.

Why?

Why did his heart ache for her?

Jacob pondered why he was having such feelings for his woman, and he had a gut feeling that he had forgotten something very important.

Whatever it was, he had to get to the bottom of it.

He needed to know the reason why he felt so confused about Emily.

He wanted absolute control and mastery when it came to the relationship.

......

The following morning, Jacob kept his promise to have a comprehensive physical examination. The outcome of which showed that his body was indeed very healthy.

As he looked the examination report, his only thought was if Emily knew the results, how would she feel about it?

Before long, Jacob took the report back to Tyrone Mansion.

Having been physically and mentally depleted, Emily was still in deep slumber. But even in her sleep her face was as pure and beautiful as an angel's.

"No..." She uttered a sudden murmur, as if she was trapped in a nightmare. Her cheeks were wet and her body was drenched in cold sweat.

Soon her breathing increased rapidly and became gasps of breath.
