A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 309

Jacob went totally numb, as he exposed himself to Jack's hard punches.

Emily never slept with Jack...

The baby in Emily's womb was actually Jacob's...

However, knowing that fact did not help with anything right now.

"If you hadn't forced her to abort the baby, she would have never ran away! If you did not want to raise the baby, I would have been glad to help you!" Jack yelled, his voice came in short gasps, full of anger and disappointment. He battered Jacob, until he released him and let him fall to the floor.

"It's all your fault! You killed her!" Jack cried out desperately.

Blood leaked from Jacob's nostrils and his nose was twisted right. He coughed up the blood pooled in his mouth on his clothes. Jacob's lips trembled, as he tried to say something, but his face was swollen and he could barely utter a word.

'It's not true. But so what?

It does not matter now anyway, ' Jacob despaired in his mind.

Every piece of evidence showed that Emily was on board that plane. No one could have survived such a terrible crash.

This was the first time Jacob had to deal with "death". The emptiness in his heart, the numbness pounding his brain and the shear nothingness that now took hold of his soul threatened to engulf him entirely.

In despair, Jacob slumped to the ground with a pale, white face, as he watched Jack burst into tears with his face buried in his hands. All he had left of her was the fading image in his mind. Entranced, he still remembered the first time Jack had brought Emily to the Gu mansion for the first time. It was the first time he had laid eyes on her.

Emily seemed a little intimidated, but the happiness in her heart could not stop from flowing out of her eyes. She was so pure, like a dew-kissed begonia flower in the morning.

Emily followed Jack and greeted Jacob," Hello, Uncle."

Jacob closed his eyes tight, desperately thinking that if she had never met him then everything would have been fine.

'Jack is right. I should die with Emily...' Jacob scorned himself in his mind.

"Jacob! Jacob! What's wrong with you? Wake up! Jacob..." Jennifer's voice was fading in and out of Jacob's ear and soon the whole world succumbed to the silence.

...

Four years later, at the airport of Jingshi City.

A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed like an urban fashionista, carrying a child in one hand and pulling her suitcase with the other, walked out in 10cm high heels. She was wearing a long coat, with a cascading front tulip hemline that ended halfway before reaching her ankles.

When she arrived at the exit, she took out her phone, and just as soon as she turned it on, a call came in.

The name "Sean" popped up on the screen, as she paused for a brief moment to see who it was and then cut the call directly.

"Mommy..." The little girl in her arm looked at her curiously and the puzzlement in her big eyes was obvious, as she spoke in native German," Why didn't you answer Uncle's phone?"

"Because Uncle made a wrong call," The woman answered casually and then changed the topic," Beryl, let's go get you a piece of cake, shall we?"

Beryl fell for her mother's trick as she bobbed her head up and down happily and said," I want a strawberry cake!"

"Strawberry..." the woman repeated, under her breath. Her eyes dimmed as she remembered a long lost memory of a young girl she once knew who also loved strawberry cakes very much. But now that girl was already gone, along with her old self and her old life.

"Mommy, what's wrong with you?" asked Beryl. She noticed that her mother had drifted off somewhere in her mind, so she reached out her tiny hand and touched her mother's face.

Emily finally drew back her thoughts and smiled at Beryl. "I'm okay. It's nothing, sweetie," she said.

The people from the branch of Lu Jewelry soon came to pick up Emily as she waited at the exit for a while. Before they got on the car, Emily kept her promise and bought a piece of strawberry cake for Beryl.
