A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Tears welled up in Emily's eyes as she stared at the photo. She touched her children's faces in the photo as if she was really touching them.

She thought about her children for a while, and then she said, "Taylor... I... I want... I want to see my kids."

"What?" Taylor thought she had misheard Emily.

"I want to see my kids. I miss them," Emily repeated in a clearer voice.

Tears were now streaming down her face.

She felt like she had been a bad mother.

Before Taylor could respond, she heard someone arrive.

Jacob had just gotten home from work, and he caught the last part of Taylor and Emily's conversation. He ran over to Emily excitedly, throwing his briefcase aside. "Really, Emily? You miss the kids? I can take you to them right now," Jacob said.

Jacob could not believe his ears. He thought he had heard Emily wrong, but when Emily repeated herself, he felt very happy and relieved.

Hearing this, Taylor ushered Jacob to one side. "Jacob, can I talk to you for a moment?"

Taylor was also happy that Emily was getting better, but she was her patient. She was responsible for her.

Jacob slipped off his coat and put it over Emily.
