A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 164

When Jacob and Emily stepped out of Jack's mansion, the guards standing at the gate looked at each other with surprise and bewilderment. 'Why didn't anyone notice

us when they came into the mansion?'

In the end, none of the guards dared to ask anything; after all, what would be the point? The only thing they could do was to respectfully bow at Jacob and Emily as they walked by.

"How did Mr. Jacob get in? I didn't see anyone pass through the gate," a guard asked his fellow guards in puzzlement, after Jacob and Emily went away.

Another guard looked around, and when he saw Jacob's car parked not too far from the mansion, he guessed,"Maybe they climbed over the wall?"

"You're kidding me!" Another guard retorted at once,"This is the mansion of Mr. Jacob's nephew. If he wants to visit Mr. Jack, he can walk through the front gate."

"So do you think that they flew into the house like birds ?"

"Why don't you just shut up and pretend that they flew into the house?"

"..."

Emily sat inside Jacob's car silently. With no expression on her face, her eyelids lowered, and no one could tell what she was thinking about.

"Jacob," some time later, Emily opened her mouth all of a sudden. "Do you think that Rose's baby died because of me?" she asked.

Jacob paused for a while before he answered with certainty,"No, it was Jack's fault."

"But...But if it were not for me, Jack would not have done that..." Emily said.

"Listen, you have nothing to do with the death of his baby. It was his decision. Do you understand?" replied Jacob.

"I..." Emily understood Jacob's words, but she could not help but think that she had something to do with the accident. The thought of the little unborn infant haunted her mind the whole time.

All of a sudden, she felt so nauseated that she heaved up everything she had eaten earlier.

It surprised Jacob that Emily would have that kind of a reaction. He frowned and quickly stopped the car.

After unfastening the seat belt, Jacob leaned over to Emily and patted her back softly. With a tender voice he tried to comfort Emily,"Don't worry. You must be feeling nauseated by bad experience and motion sickness."

Emily regurgitated all she had eaten. She took the water bottle from Jacob to rinse her mouth, as she said,"I got your car dirty."

Her voice had sunk down, almost to a whisper, as if she were a little girl who did something wrong, which melted Jacob's heart; he said,"Just go and take the back seat."

"What about you?" she asked.

"I will clean it up. Don't worry about it," he replied.

Stunned and flustered, Emily quickly said,"No, no, I will clean it up myself."

'Jacob is the president of a multi-billion dollar consortium. Everyone in his circle has to show him respect. How could he lower himself to clean up this mess for me, ' thought Emily.

Jacob glanced at Emily caustically, and said,"It's not the first time I've cleaned up a mess, you know. Just go and take the back seat."

"... "Okay, you are right," Emily said, remembering that she had once vomited on Jacob's coat and he did not even scold her. She stepped out of the car to get some fresh air, leaving Jacob inside.

Jacob took out some tissues and started to clean the area of the front seat.

After he cleaned up everything and sprayed some air freshener in the car, he got off and called Emily back into the car.

"Are you okay? Do you still feel sick now?" he asked.

Emily shook her head and answered,"No."
