A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 167

Both women closed their mouths perfectly at the same time.

The jealous nurse began to clean Emily's wound with an antiseptic, dressing it in a rough manner. She hated being the one to care for Emily.

Although the wound was small, Emily could not help but frown, noticing that she was being treated such rudely. However, she bore the pain in silence instead of calling her out. It was no use losing her temper over this little rat.

"Have you actually ever had any training in nursing? You're so unprofessional!" It was Jacob who couldn't stand to watch. The nurse was shocked by the cold questioning voice of Jacob.

To be put in her place like that, she bit her lips and looked at Jacob, feeling aggrieved, as she said,"Sir… I…"

Jacob raised an impatient eyebrow with a grim expression in his eyes. "Since you can't do it well, get out!" he snapped.

When the nurse heard Jacob's unfriendly words, she immediately forgot the prejudices against Emily and started to explain,"I can…"

"I said, get out of here!"

The nurse froze up for a second, her face turning red. Then she ran out of the room sobbing, with eyes full of tears.

Emily craned her neck to see the nurse's receding figure, then glanced at Jacob and said,"Look what you've done. you scared her and made her cry!"

"It serves her right," said Jacob in a cold tone, his anger hadn't completely dissipated.

"Well, you've driven the nurse away. Who's going to deal with my wound now?" asked Emily raising one eyebrow at her boyfriend.

"Well... me. I can do it for you." Jacob sat down beside Emily, set up the tray and gently cleaned Emily's wound with a cotton ball soaked in disinfectant. Then he applied medicine on her wound.

Jacob treated Emily with all tenderness. His movements were very light, and he looked as if he was doing the most important thing in the world.

Emily's eyes grew softer, resting her chin on her good hand, as she gazed at the man in front of her. Although it was winter, her heart was filled with warmth, as if she was bathing in the warm spring sunshine.

……

On the other side of Jingshi City, David was seeing Nora off at the airport.

Nora was crying in David's arms. David quietly held her for a while, then slowly pushed her away.

"Nora, you've missed your flight. Don't miss it again." said David.

Nora was supposed to take the previous flight back to M country, but before it was time to board the plane, she turned around and came back. This led to her missing the flight. David had to book the next flight for her.

"David, I don't want to go..." Nora's eyes had become swollen from crying, just like a little rabbit, which made David feel sorry for her. She asked in a choked voice,"Does Rita dislike me? Because I bothered you?"

'The honest answer is, of course, yes.' thought David, but he didn't speak it out, afraid of hurting her feelings. He dared not let Nora and Rita be together in the same place because Rita didn't like Nora at all. If Nora stayed longer in Jingshi City, a fierce quarrel would inevitably break out between them.

David sighed helplessly, but he had to say it. "Nora, I am sorry, but you have to go back to M country,"

"David." Nora looked up at him. Sadness filled her voice. "You've changed. You weren't like that before."

David asked,"What kind of person was I before?"

"You used to be very kind to me. You spoiled me; you made me happy; you gave me everything I wanted and you said that you liked me the most...." answered Nora without stopping.

"As you said, that was before," David interrupted her, with a sternly cool and unmoved expression on his handsome face,"You've married my brother, so you shouldn't be saying things like that anymore. I hope you can put our relationship in the right place, which is in the past. It is time to move on."

Nora was surprised and said in an unwilling tone,"Is that how you really feel? I don't believe it!"
