A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 185

Confusion and disbelief engulfed Emily body, knocking all other thoughts aside. She couldn't understand why Debby would rush out to protect Tina.

'Was mom trying to save Tina? But, I'm her daughter. Why did she want to protect Tina instead of me? Why?' thought Emily, feeling heart-broken and rejected.

Gangster A did not care about Debby's claims. He ordered in a cold tone,"Take them all away!"

In the end, Emily, Tina and Debby were all dragged into a black car. Desperate, Emily and Debby tried to scream for help, but the kidnappers had covered their mouths with tapes. They couldn't utter any words, their screaming stifled.

Even in despair, Emily wanted to ask Debby why she was protecting Tina, but unfortunately, she had lost that privilege because of the tape on her mouth. Emily could only lay her inquisitive eyes on Debby, as she looked her with shock and puzzlement.

Debby, however, was too guilty to look back into Emily's eyes.

Debby could no longer deny that at that critical moment, she only cared about Tina who was her own flesh and blood... Having convinced herself otherwise, Debby's guilt was cut short when she remembered that Emily was not her real child.

After a long time on the road, the car finally came to a stop.

The kidnappers took the three of them to a dark, damp basement. Not long after, a man with a scar on his face came in. He limped heavily as he walked towards them, while his gloomy eyes fell on Tina, who was lying unconscious.

"Tina, I bet you never thought you would fall into my hands one day, right?" said the man, whose name was Lay. He kicked Tina without pity, but to his disappointment, she did not wake up. Perhaps the dosage of the injection was too strong.

Lay used to be a skilled surgeon who had specialized in removing scars and plastic surgery. Perhaps it was his misfortune or just plain coincidence, that he was employed by Mark to treat the scars on Tina's body.

At first, he saw the work as not only a high-paying job, but also as an opportunity to gain favor with the Tao clan. However, he didn't expect that it would ruin his entire life.

Needless to say, Tina cared a great deal about her appearance. She wanted him to remove her scars as soon as possible, but her skin was so severely damaged that he couldn't perform the surgery on her in a short time. When he revealed the truth to Tina, that such an intricate surgery would take a long time to fully repair her scars, Tina got angry, thinking that he was a quack doctor who had fooled her.

However, the worst was yet to come. If Tina had only cursed at him and kicked him out of her house, he would have appreciated her from the bottom of his heart. Alas, Tina was not one to let go of things so easily.

If Tina was not happy, she would make everyone around her unhappy too.

In a moment of anger, Tina had her people beat Lay to a bloody pulp. Then she asked them to break his legs and cut up his face and body. With a villainous smile on her face, Tina witnessed with great pleasure and satisfaction, while he suffered in front of her.

While, her brother, Mark, instead of stopping her, joined in and indulged her in her cruel debauchery. Afterwards, as if to put salt in his wounds, Mark only gave him less than half the money he had promised him.

As a result, Lay had some scars on his face, but some of those scars ran deeper than his physical body. Some of those scars ran deep into his soul. He was no longer able to walk like a normal person. Furthermore, the nerve endings in his hands and fingers were cut up and slashed thoroughly, permanently rendering him incapable of holding a scalpel steadily to perform another operation.

Self-esteem, health, future, everything Lay once had were turned into a pile of smouldering ash, because of this vicious woman— Tina! Tina took away his reason to carry on living in the world!

Lay felt very resentful and angry when he recalled all things that had happened to him. He stared at Tina with fervent hatred, as he wished to tear up the ugly woman and throw her rotting corpse to the rabid dogs. However, upon careful reflection, he changed his mind when he realized that death would be too merciful for Tina. Before death, Lay planned on showing her the new meaning to living hell.

Agitated, it took a long time for Lay to calm himself down. He looked over at Emily and Debby, and asked,"Who are they? Why did you bring them with Tina?"
