A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 52

Emily raised her head to follow the voice, but as soon as she saw who was standing by the door, her facial expression hardened.

It was Jack.

Although his head was wrapped with white bandages, his radiant face remained unaffected. He grinned slyly, causing the nurse standing in the corner to blush timidly.

"Emily, are you looking for me?"

With a flicker of disappointment in her eyes, Emily replied,"No."

"No? Is that all you want to say to the person who saved your life?"

The lack of enthusiasm on Emily's face dimmed Jack's mood. He waved at the nurse to leave them alone. Soon, it was just the two of them in that big ward.

"What do you mean?" Emily was alarmed by what Jack had just said. What was he trying to say?

"You have been in a coma for the past two days. Don't you remember how well you treated me when we were both buried under the ruins?"

Jack said, as he glared into Emily's face with dark, resentful eyes, angered by the change in her facial expression.

Nonplussed, Emily stared at Jack in disbelief, and said,"You mean you were the one buried with me under the ruins?" 'That can't be true!' she thought. "I...I was with..."

'I was with Jacob, ' she knew it in her heart.

"Yes, you were with me. Don't you remember being with me all those days? Who else did you think I was?" Jack's gaze captivated Emily. Recalling the scenes of the day Emily got rescued, he wanted to burst out raging, but somehow he managed to keep himself calm.

What did he see on that day?

He saw Jacob and Emily buried close to each other under the rubble. When the two were rescued, they were found in each other's arms, unconscious. From a bystander's point of view, it seemed like they were a loving couple who could not bear to be apart, even under such dire circumstances.

Jack suddenly understood everything after seeing them like that.

Shocked at what he had witnessed, he was churned by the anger deeply within him and was hungry for destruction. Overwhelmed by confusion, he struggled to bare the pressure of the raging sea of hatred in his heart.

He laughed at himself for having been played like a fiddle, since the very beginning. But who would have thought that a man like Jacob would have anything to do with Emily?

Never in a hundred years could Jack have expected Emily to have an affair with Jacob!

Jacob was the main architect behind everything all along. Jacob wanted to transfer Jack to a different city; he sided with Victor and invested in the LA Jewelry Company. He did all those things for Emily!

While he kept Jack in the dark, and played him for a fool!

Drunk with hatred, Jack had half a mind to kill both Emily and Jacob before they returned to consciousness!However, he put his malicious thoughts to rest. On one hand, he still loved Emily, and on the other, he did not want Jacob's punishment to be so quick!

"I do not know,"

Answered Emily. She could feel her heart beat faster, nervous and guilt-ridden.

Jack collected his thoughts and took a deep breath,"Are you refusing to accept the fact since you are safe now? Well? Since you've drunk my blood, you are mine now."

Emily suddenly raised her head, when she remembered that the man in the debris had said the exact same thing to her...

'So it really was Jack?'

Emily tried to remember everything she could about the man, but he never said anything about himself to her. Confused, Emily did not linger on her doubts for long, instead, she just assumed it was Jacob based on intuition.

Jack was cleverly trying to throw her off her previous assumptions. She was beginning to doubt everything she knew because of what Jack was saying. She wasn't sure whether it was Jack or Jacob anymore.

Suddenly, a question popped up in her mind,"What about your throat?"

A devious glint flashed in Jack's eyes, as he raised his hand and rubbed his throat to lower his voice,"I took some medications."
