A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob stood still. His body stiffened and his heart skipped a beat as a set of female arms embraced him from behind.

He sneered at her contemptuously and said, "Love? I don't believe in love. Stop being such a baby."

Jacob grabbed her hands to push them away but she tightened her grip. She refused to let him walk away from her.

"You do! You knew what love is. You've just forgotten what it feels like because of me." Emily was too sad to cry out or wail. She just stood there as still as a statue while the magnitude of her loss swept over her.

Jacob melted into soundless oblivion with nothing to grab onto.

But he didn't want to lose his dignity and pride in front of her so he forcibly pushed her arms away and threw her to the bed before he walked out.

Disappointment appeared on Emily's face as she helplessly watched him walk away from her.

'Anyway, it is a step forward.' Emily comforted herself in her mind.

The result of Jacob's full-body examination came out positive. Did this mean that Sean lied to her?

Or, could it be that the problem Jacob had was beyond the capacity of the medical equipments in the hospital to discover?

However, Emily would rather accept that this was another one of Sean's contemptible lie rather than the possibility that there was something wrong with Jacob.

Nevertheless, she would have to get to the bottom of it sooner or later.

...

Ever since that day, Jacob had frozen Emily out. His coldness was quite obvious even to Beryl who sensed that there was something strange going on between her mother and father. But as Beryl was just a naive, little girl. It wasn't too hard for Emily to convince her otherwise with just a simple explanation.

Jacob was switching in between two versions of himself. He and Emily had almost no conversation by day, but he was hot with Emily in the bed at night.
