A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 347

Emily broke away from Jacob's arms when Sam and the police arrived. She looked weak, as if she had no life left in her.

It was so close. Both of their lives were at stake few moments ago.

Jacob carried Emily into the car, and insisted that Emily be checked up thoroughly. After their near-death experience, since neither Emily nor Jacob was capable of driving, Sam volunteered to drive for them to the hospital.

After they arrived at the hospital, Jacob got off the car with Emily in his arms and dashed into the emergency room. Judging from his nervous look, the doctors in the emergency room got nervous and thought that the girl in his arms was either seriously hurt or on the verge of death. They immediately arranged for her to get checked up.

When they got the results, the attending physician reported to Jacob, "Mr. Gu, this young lady may have gotten frightened by a traumatic experience. But apart from that, everything is fine with her. All she needs right now is to have a good rest. If she still has body aches later on, you can bring her back at any time."

All the doctors involved, were distressed and worried until the attending physician announced the test results. Relieved, they couldn't help but complain secretly, "Oh my God! This is so typical of rich people. Just making a fuss for nothing. Ridiculous!"

"Oh, thank God!" Jacob heaved a sigh of relief, but he still held Emily so tight that no one could separate them.

Emily had returned to her senses, but she could hardly breathe of be Jacob's hug.

As she struggled to get away from him, Emily accidentally touched his face. When she felt his face burning up, she asked with surprise, "Why is your face so hot? Do you have a fever?"

"I don't care if I do," he said. Jacob lowered his face and gazed deep into her eyes. He was driven by strong emotions, as if nothing could take his eyes away from her. He loosened his hands reluctantly when he realized that he was cutting her blood circulation.

Emily reached out her hand to feel his forehead. "Your forehead is burning," she said.

"I know."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Well."

"Why don't you take care of yourself?"

Emily's soft hand caressed his forehead tenderly, her skin as smooth as a jade, bringing him a sense of calm and serenity.

"I enjoy being with you more," he answered. Jacob smiled, tightly holding her soft hands close to his chest. He was glad to see just how much Emily cared for him. He enjoyed every single moment of it.

"Nonsense! I think you've lost your mind because of your fever," she said. Emily drew her hands back and turned to the doctor who was standing beside them and looked embarrassed, "Doctor, he seems to have high fever. Would you mind checking his condition?"

The doctor did his best to hide his embarrassment and pretended as if nothing had happened, "Of course. I will have a look at his vitals."

"No. I don't need a doctor," said Jacob. He looked at Emily and said, "I want you to diagnose and treat my illness."

"Are you kidding? I am not a doctor," she said.

"My illness can only be healed by you. I don't need any doctor or medicine. I just need you," he said.

Emily didn't know how to respond to him.

The doctor stood there like a third wheel, eager to get away from their drama as soon as possible, as he reluctantly watched them flirting with each other.

"Have you lost your mind? Don't be silly," Emily said. She grabbed a thermometer from the doctor and handed it to Jacob. "Listen to me, take this," she demanded.

Jacob took the thermometer like an obedient child and put it in his mouth. After five minutes, the thermometer indicated that Jacob was coming up with a bad fever.

"You have a high fever, Jacob," Emily frowned, looking concerned.

After reading the thermometer, the doctor pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said to Jacob, "Mr. Gu, I am afraid you'll have to get a transfusion to bring down this fever. Otherwise, it will infect your lungs."

Emily glanced at Jacob and then turned to the doctor, "Okay, doctor. Please prepare for his transfusion. Thank you very much."

It was quite late at night. Jacob lay in the bed of a private ward, while Emily kept him company. A nurse walked in with the infusion liquid and accessories for Jacob, before she left the room quietly.

There was pin-drop silence in the room. It was so quite that the sound of fluid dripping from the infusion bottle resonated within their ears.

After a long time, Emily broke the silence, "Er, do you know what was wrong with the car?"
