A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob paused for a few moments to think, before he asserted," This must be a dream."
Assuming it was a dream, Jacob thought it would be stupid of him not to take advantage of such a favourable circumstance.
Emily would never be so nice so him in reality.
Jacob leaned on the bed, like a big boss, and ordered," Emily, apologize to me!"
"I am sorry."
Although she was still a bit confused by Jacob's behavior, Emily's apology was sincere and heartfelt.
Stunned at how obedient Emily was to him, he looked at her in disbelief and whispered," If this is really a dream, I can do
whatever I like."
"Emily, come over here and massage my shoulders."
"Emily, massage my legs."
"Emily, sing a song for me."
"Emily, come over and... kiss me."
Emily," ..."
Even at this occasion, Jacob still did not forget to take advantage of her. 'Dear Jacob, can you please go easy on me!'
By the time Emily managed to put Jacob to bed, she was completely exhausted. She knew Jacob was stubborn, but she wasn't
expecting to deal with a naughty child.
In the evening, instead of going back home, Emily sat next to Jacob's bed, when suddenly she received a call from Jack.
When she saw Jack's name pop up on the screen, she remembered what Sam had told her, and her facial expression suddenly
darkened.
Jack had her completely fooled with his dramatic make-believe stories...
Emily was afraid of disturbing Jacob so she took the call outside the ward. Before the other party could say anything, she served
him with a preemptive strike," Jack, I'm coming to see you tomorrow. We need to talk. I have something important to tell you."

Jack seemed to be taken aback a bit, but he chuckled anyway," Okay, I also have something to tell you."
They both hung up simultaneously. Neither of them said anything else, but it was enough to understand what the other party had
meant.
Emily stood outside quietly for a while with her phone in her hand, before she got back to Jacob's ward.
In the middle of the night, Jacob once again experienced a high fever. His body was like a giant stove, burning hot coal.
The doctors had tried using a variety of medications, but they were useless, so they recommended the use physical therapy,
which was, rubbing the whole body with alcohol.
Seeing the shyness and uneasiness of the nurse who was untying Jacob's clothes, a sudden flash of jealousy crossed Emily's
mind, as if her man was being taken advantage of by another woman...
"No, let me do it,"
she firmly asserted, without a second thought.
Displeased, the nurse glanced at Emily angrily and then turned away.
Almost immediately, Emily felt like she did the right thing, when she understood what the other party's intentions were. She
meticulously followed the doctor's instructions and untied Jacob's clothes.
For some reason her hands were shaking.
Some parts of Jacob's body were still wrapped in gauze. All the injuries he had suffered because of her, and yet she had no
knowledge of it. She felt as if her ignorance had caused him more harm rather than his actual injuries.
'Emily, you are an ungrateful jerk!'
Emily looked down upon herself in her heart. Taking in a deep breath to ease her nerves, she rubbed the alcohol on Jacob's
body as per the doctor's guidance, carefully avoiding his wounds.
Emily diligently repeated the process until dawn when Jacob's fever finally started to dissipate. As for Emily, since she hadn't
gotten any sleep that night, her back was so painful it felt like she was going to collapse, and she couldn't stop her hands from
trembling.

Emily gently placed her hand on Jacob's forehead to measure his body temperature. After a moment's consideration, she leaned
closer and rested her face on his forehead so that she could make sure that the fever had left Jacob's system, then she asked
Sam to look after Jacob.
Emily had unfinished business with Jack she needed to take care of.
When Sam came into the ward, he found Emily in a fragile state. He was dismayed by the mild swelling under her eyes. "Miss
Emily, are you okay? Would you like to take a break?"
"No, I have something important to attend to later. Please look after Jacob."
Emily went into the bathroom and washed her face. The touch of cool water on her face, reinvigorated her as she urged," When
he wakes up, don't tell him that I was here."
Since Jacob thought it was a dream, then perhaps it was, just a dream. Although she was grateful to him for saving her life, he
was already engaged to someone else, thus, she wanted to distance herself from him.
Sam felt a little surprised and disappointed, but he still complied," Okay."
"Thank you very much."
Shortly after Emily left, Jacob woke up. His narrow eye slits partially revealed his deep eyes, clear and resolute. He was not the
same man as he was yesterday.
"Mr. Jacob."
Sam quickly pressed the call bell and walked over to the bed. "How are you feeling?"
Jacob gave him a faint look and replied," I'm okay."
When Sam had the doctor check up on his Boss, they found out that Jacob had regained his vitals. Although, his body was still
weak, there was no immediate danger to his health. Sam breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Sir, the doctor said that you can't stress yourself too much and you still have to recuperate, or the wounds will get infected again
and it will take a longer time to heal..."

Sam understood how complicated the matter was. In order to save Emily, Jacob had suffered both physical and mental injuries. It
would never be easy to recuperate from all of his injuries in one time! There was a worried frown on Sam's face, as he realized
Jacob was not one to take his own health seriously!
Jacob ignored his advice, as he always did. He suddenly remembered something and asked," Who brought me to the hospital?"
"It was Miss Emily."
"She was here with me?"
Sam suddenly remembered what Emily had asked of him. He hesitated and said," No, that was the nurse."
"Really?"
Suspicious, Jacob's sharp eyes pierced through Sam's inquisitively. Sam's stress levels were starting to rise up.
While Same was trying to figure out whether to confess or not, the nurse who came in to change Jacob's dressing appeared.
She had a shy, happy and sheepish disposition.
"Mr. Jacob, are you feeling okay? I was the one taking care of you when you had a high fever in the middle of the night. Is it
better now? "
This nurse was the one who was going to undress Jacob when the doctor suggested physical therapy, but was stopped by Emily.
When she saw that Emily was absent, she knew that her chance had come. She wanted to confess and take credit for Emily's
hard work.
She never imagined that she would get the chance to meet someone like Jacob. When she saw Emily, she felt that she was no
worse than her, and that gave her confidence.
What if Jacob really fell in love with her?
A handsome face like that, even a popular star would fall short in comparison to his power and wealth... The idea of being
Jacob's woman was incredibly fascinating! No one would dare to look down upon her!
Jacob heard the words of the nurse and finally gave her the look of approval. With a straight, emotionless face he asked," I've
heard that the person who has been with me since I came to the hospital is you, is that right?"

The nurse nodded and smiled like a flower. "That is nothing. I was only fulfilling my duties. Mr. Jacob you don't have to think too
much about it."
"Who gave you permission to touch me?"
The coldness of his voice caused the nurse to shudder in fear as she stuttered," Mr...Mr. Jacob...you...you were in a critical
situation, and we had to think about your life and health..."
Looking at the sharp eyes of Jacob, ran chills down her spine. The strong and intimidating pressure that the other party exuded
made her sweat profusely.
"Do you know what happened to the last person who touched me?"
