A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 326

"It's like..." Emily couldn't find the right words to explain so she used German and led Beryl out of the room.

Now it was just her and Jack alone in the room.

She had no plans of inviting him in but he still went in and even had a cute dog with him.

"Good, good. What did you eat? Because that's where you got your food poisoning," Emily said. She was still at a loss as to what to say but she still did her job. When she looked at him, she saw that his face was white as a sheet.

Meanwhile, Jack had opened his eyes to meet her eyes, "Emily," he murmured.

But Emily paid no attention to him.

He continued, "It wasn't food poisoning. It was you and I don't think I can ever be cured."

Emily bit her lips, and scolded him. "Just shut up."

"No, I'm not going to. I really think I'm dying..." Jack sounded so weak and he was heaving, "Emily, I was bitten by a dog yesterday," he whispered in a low voice.

Emily could tell he wasn't himself yet. He was delirious so she just kept making him talk, "Mhm, okay and then?"

"So I most likely have rabies now. Once you get rabies, there's no cure for that. This is probably the rabies already so just stay away from me or I might hurt you..."

Emily couldn't help but laugh, "Can you hear yourself?"

He was claiming his food poisoning was rabies. If he hadn't just been checked up, she might have believed his story.

Jack suddenly stood up to hold Emily in his arms, "Emily, I'm telling you the truth..."

Emily frowned and her first instinct was to push him but then Jack started to cry, "Emily, I don't want to die yet..."

'Is he getting anxiety now?' Emily asked to herself.

"Emily, we're not married yet. I don't want to die this way," Jack tightened his hug on Emily as tears fell, "If I die, who's going to look after you and Beryl..."

Emily said flatly, "We don't need you to look after us."

Jack was engulfed in his sadness that he just kept on mumbling on, "Get me a pen and paper, I'm going to write my will. I'm leaving all of my properties to you."

"Jack..." Emily said mindlessly. She had trouble recognizing what she was feeling in this moment.

In Jack's mind, he was dying of heart break and he just wanted to make sure they were taken cared of. That was why he wanted to leave his property to them.

Emily lowered her head - her heart softened at the sight of Jack crying like a child, "Don't cry, you're not dying, okay? This is just food poisoning..."

"Don't lie to me. I know what I'm doing, I know what's happening here... I shouldn't have chased that dog in the first place."

Emily didn't know what to do now, "I'm not lying."

'Does everyone who gets food poisoning really get as delirious as this?'

No matter what she said, Jack just wouldn't believe her. He was dead set on believing that he had a rabies attack and was subsequently dying. He begged Emily to give him a pen and paper for his will, then he held her in his arms so tight like he wouldn't let go ever.

Suddenly, he started talking nonstop as if he was trying to say everything he wanted to say while he still could.
