A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 35

Jack looked back at Emily, who was just looking at him, puzzled. Obviously she heard what Sam had said.

Jack feigned apathy, but his heart was screaming out in anguish, hoping Emily would say something to make him stay...

As long as Emily sincerely begged him to stay, he would stay. Even it would displease Jacob.

Emily stared at Jack, and slowly opened her mouth to say something as if she had heard the calling of Jack's heart.

"Go away."

Jack was dumbfounded; his heart was broken. "Emily..."

"Mr. Jack, time is running out."

Sam reminded him from the side.

"I know. You don't have to keep saying it!"

Frustrated at Emily's reluctance to hear him out, Jack was so irritated that he stormed out of the ward and yelled, "Go!"

Sam nodded, closed the door for Emily, and followed Jack.

Meanwhile, Jacob was sitting at the table, in the VIP room of the hospital. With his hands crossed, he observed Emily in the monitor. His eyes were as dark as midnight sky.

After a while, he opened his laptop and began to work on tomorrow's official duties. Occasionally he would look at the monitor to check up on Emily.

Several hours later, Jacob's cell phone rang. It was Sam.

"Mr. Jacob, Mr. Jack was caught in a car accident on his way to the airport."

"Who was the driver?"

Sam paused and stuttered. "It's Mr. Jack."

Jacob sneered, "Intentionally?"

Sam did not respond directly. He only said, "I have checked the car, but I couldn't find any problems with it. Mr. Jack's explanation was that he got distracted while driving."

"Where is he now?"

"The nearest hospital to the airport. He suffered an injury to his arm, but nothing serious."

"Let him stay where he is."

Jacob hung up the phone. The disappointment in his face was clearly visible.

So, Jack was playing tricks with him.

Now that Jack was injured, Jacob would not be able to send him to the branch in M Country at the moment. Even if Jacob insisted on it, the master of the house, his grandfather would not agree.

Early next morning, Jacob still arrived at the company on time even though he did not sleep all night.

Sam was also on time. When he entered the office, he reported to Jacob right away. "Mr. Jacob, Mr. Jack has asked to be transferred to the hospital where Miss Emily is. He also wants to be in the ward next to hers."

"Not gonna happen."

Jacob did not lift his head, his eyes were still on the paper, reading.

"However, Mr. Jack went against my advice and transferred himself to the hospital without doctor's permission."

Jacob finally lifted his head and glanced at Sam coldly.

Distressed, Sam quickly added, "But Miss Emily has left the hospital early in the morning. She has already gone to work."

Jacob lowered his eyes again and then signed his name on the document. He gently said, "You can not even give me report clearly. Your two week's salary will be deducted on your next pay-check."

"Yes, Mr. Jacob."

Sam went out of the office with a disheartened face.

……

In the hospital, Jack was depressed because he found out that he had failed to get what he wanted.

'Emily, you are a horrible woman! Do you know how much I've had to sacrifice for you?'
