A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 306

Emily had a nightmare last night.

In her dreams, Jacob had caught her. He clutched her wrist tightly, like he wouldn't let her go, no matter what. The foreboding dream followed into the next scene as it took Emily into a cold, operating room. The bright lights on the ceiling was blinding her vision.

"Listen to my words. Don't keep this baby..." Jacob's gentle voice hovered around Emily, as eerie as a magic spell.

"No!" Emily screamed frantically, and finally woke up from her abysmal nightmare. Her cheeks were wet and her body was bathed in a cold sweat. The sheets were twisted around her limbs, probably because she was thrashing in her sleep. But at least she was awake now.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Sean asked her tenderly. Sean's comforting voice put Emily's heart to ease gradually.

"Nothing. I am fine," Emily replied, However, a soft handkerchief beat Emily and reached out to wipe her forehead gently before she could do it herself. "Thank you, but it's really nothing. I am fine," she said. But she was touched by Sean's effort.

Sean passed the handkerchief to her and said, "We'll be at the airport soon. Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah, I am good," Emily replied. Emily wiped her face clean and took a deep breath. Finally, she was ready to take the next step.

Whatever her dreams and nightmares had shown her, none of it mattered anymore. For in this lifetime, it was time for her relationship with Jacob... to come to an end.

Meanwhile, Jacob was still turning the world upside down searching for Emily.

He had invested a large amount of manpower and resources to dig out Sean's background, but time was running out and he didn't have anything viable at the moment.

As far as Jacob knew, Sean was a skilled doctor on the surface, but deep down he was more than that. He kept himself under the radar most of the times and the information surrounding him and his activities were shrouded in mystery.

However, Jacob's instinct told him that Sean was anything but a simple man.

But now, it was too late for him to go digging into Sean's background. First and foremost, he had to keep his eye on the prize: Emily.

Sam was as efficient as ever. But this time when came to report, he hesitated. "Mr. Jacob, we have found the flight number of Emily..." he said, almost under the breath.

Sam's hesitation diminished Jacob's confidence. All of a sudden, he sensed a sharp pang in his stomach, but he had to know the truth. "Keep talking" Jacob urged Sam.

"The flight took off this morning, but according to the latest news, the plane had crashed..." Sam continued, nervously.

Jacob's brain stutters for a moment upon hearing the news, and every part of him goes on pause while his thoughts caught up. "What about Emily.." he asked, dreading each moment.

Sam took a deep breath before he announced the news. He felt uneasy at the thought of what he was about to say, but he forced himself to stay calm before he slowly reported, "... All the passengers were killed in the accident. There were no survivor."

"That is impossible!" Jacob cried out. In that instant Jacob's skin became white as chalk, his mouth hung with lips slightly parted and his eyes were as wide as they could stretch. He shook his head in disbelief, desperately scrambling to make sense of it all. "That's just not possible!" he yelled.

Words had left Sam. He stared into Jacob's deep eyes burning with anger, and his heart fell silent.

"She can't be dead!" Jacob kept shouting. Unable to comprehend what he had just heard, Jacob's eyes reddened with sadness. Raving like a madman, he commanded, "Find out what happened! Keep looking for her, dead or alive!"

Jacob's eyes sent shiver down Sam's spine. "Yes... Yes, Mr. Jacob," he muttered, and then ran out of the room.

At Victor's office.

When Victor heard the news of the plane crash related to Emily and Sean, his hand trembled uncontrollably, and he accidentally ended up drawing a black line where he was supposed to put his signature on in the document.

"The plane crashed?" Victor asked as he looked up at his assistant.

The assistant nodded to confirm the news. "It's true. Nobody on the plane survived," he answered.

Victor looked down blankly at the black line he had drawn on the document. "I see. Get out," he commanded.

Startled, the assistant didn't know why Victor's mood had changed all of a sudden, but he complied and soon walked out of the office.
