A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 216

"I have raised you since you were a baby. I took you as my own daughter for so many years.

But when I found out who my biological daughter was, I lost control over my emotions and I ended up hurting you...

I am really sorry for what I've put you through, Emily," said Debby.

Most of what Emily's mother said was true, except she didn't reveal the fact that Emily was a child of the Tao family. Debby made everything sound flawless.

After she finished explaining, Debby shifted her sights towards Jacob, nervously. It was Jacob who told her to fabricate the truth, and she said exactly as Jacob had instructed her to say.

Jacob, however, did not even look back at Debby; his eyes were all on Emily. Only a satisfactory curve appeared from the corners of his lips.

That was how he wanted everything to be. Emily was Emily. She was not the daughter of the Tao clan, but only his woman.

At the Tao family residence, Jingshi City.

In the dinning room, Mark looked at his parents gloomily. With a bit of anger in his eyes, he said, "You want to take Emily back? Then what about Tina? "

Abbott was irritated with Mark's attitude and reluctance to accept Emily into the Tao family. "They both will be daughters of the Tao family. Bringing Emily into the family will not change the fact that Tina is also our daughter!" he said.

"One word should be kept in mind. If there is Tina, there should be no Emily; If there is Emily, then there should be no Tina," Mark replied.

"How could you say something like that? We will continue to hide Tina's origin of birth. They both are your sisters, and Emily is your biological sister!" Abbott asserted sternly.

"Sister?" Mark sneered coldly as he replied, "In my mind, Tina is my only sister."

Afterwards, he turned around and slammed the door behind him, as an act of defiance.

"You insolent boy!" Abbott yelled at Mark. Abbott had suffered a lot from Jacob, and he had no intentions of putting up with his own son's tantrums back at home. He was so furious that he threw a glass to the wall, as the shattered pieces cascaded down in no specific sequence.

"Abbot, don't be angry..." urged Bess, as she hurriedly came to comfort him. With a soft, assuring voice, she said, "Mark is just being stubborn right now, you know; he feels very strongly about Tina. He will come around to it..."

"I hope so!"

What a turbulent day it was for Abbott Tao!

Mark went straight to the hospital, and stayed with Tina the a whole night. The next day, he went to work straight from the hospital.

At noon, Tina, who had been in a comatose state in the past few days, finally came to her senses.

Although, Jacob took away the bag of blood that day, Mark and his parents went everywhere, trying every options, begging and pleading, and somehow managed to find a small amount of blood to sustain Tina's life temporarily.

Later, when blood from all parts of the country came in, they managed to transfuse the blood just in time and Tina was finally out of danger.

When Tina opened her eyes after many days, her body and mind was still numb. With a blank face, she sat still in bed for a while.

Not knowing how much time had passed, she suddenly heard the whispers outside the ward. At first she refused to listen, but she then overheard a name she hated to her very core----Emily.

"Hey, did you know that Emily is a daughter of the Tao family?"
