A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

The two children, Beryl and Bowen, looked at each other and just stood there, unsure what to do. They seemed to have been paralyzed on the spot. Their mother, whom they had been thinking of day and night, stood in front of them. Looking at her beloved children, Emily slowly squatted down. Her mouth was dry, but she was able to blurt out five affectionate words. "I've missed you so much."

Almost at the same time, Taylor and Louis sighed with relief. The children suddenly threw themselves into their mother's arms. Emily showered them with kisses as she cried a river of happy tears.

Taylor felt a comforting warmth spread through her chest like the first rays of sunshine in early spring. Louis smiled and secretly texted Jacob the good news.

Jacob was in a meeting when he got Louis' message. He smiled and wished he could be there with his wife and children. He dismissed the meeting with a wave of his hand and announced that there would be an employee bonus of ten percent for the month. Sam stood confused next to him with a lot of documents in his hands. 'He must have heard some good news about Mrs. Gu to give away bonuses just like that, ' he thought.

Jacob went to see Emily at once. The children immediately ran to him when he arrived and demanded the reason for his long absence. Louis piled on, and Jacob rolled his eyes at him. Jacob then patiently explained that he had to work on something important with regard to Darren. Finally, he promised to spend more time with them moving forward.

The love of family filled the air with quiet sweetness, like flowers floating in the wind.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Some time back in the meeting room, Jacob stared sharply at the people in front of him, who lowered their heads and kept silent.

For a long time, no one spoke or dared to look up at him. The atmosphere grew tense and somewhat depressing.

Then, Jacob's phone rang. It broke the silence.

Jacob frowned, picked up the phone, and glanced at the screen. It was a message from Louis.

'Why is he messaging me now? Could it be something important? Could something have happened to the kids?' he thought.
