A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 493

Emily realized that Mr. Barefoot was praising her beauty. She had never blushed that easily before, but now she felt her cheeks feverish. She could not help but look down.

"Hello, I'm Ja... Bear's fiancee. I came here specially to find him."

Mr. Barefoot didn't say anything. He just asked her to sit down and looked at the condition of her injured ankle. Then he asked her to stretch out her hand and diagnosed her by feeling her pulse.

"The injury to your ankle is not a problem. It will heal. But you've not recovered from a serious illness yet, and you're so tired and worried. You're extremely weak. I'd say it's a miracle that you survived till now. But you won't last three years if you go on like this."

After hearing what Mr. Barefoot said, Emily and Jacob both stared at him.

Emily never thought that she was getting this weak. When she realized that both her child and Jacob were dead, she had already wanted to die. So she didn't take care about her body at all.

Jack kept her alive by medicines and treatments, but he failed to prevent her health from deteriorating. Only when Magee told her that Jacob was still alive did she have the strength to live.

In order to find Jacob, the one she loved, she came to the mountain with her weak body.

It seemed she was in such poor health after the illness, but her body was so overtaxed that it was on the verge of surrender.

"Old man, you must save her!" Jacob said in a slightly trembled voice, with a pale face, and dark eyes filled with worry and tension.

Mr. Barefoot laughed with pride. Tugging at his beard, he said, "There's no disease I can't cure in this world. Since she is your wife-to-be, she is worthy of my help. Of course, I'll do my best."

Emily was not as worried as Jacob. However, she said in a grateful tone, "Thank you for helping me, and thank you for saving my fiance."

"Don't mention it. I saved him just because I wanted someone to take care of me when I'm too old to move," Mr. Barefoot said casually.

Emily felt that his words seemed to have some implied meaning, but she could not fully figure it out. She just asked, "Do you have a way to refresh his memory about the past without pain or suffering?"

"No," Mr. Barefoot answered, "Memory can only be restored by itself. Other interventions are useless."

"I see. Thank you anyway..."

Emily was a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted herself to present situation. In her mind, it was the greatest luck for her that Jacob was alive. 'I shouldn't crave more.

It is enough that Jacob and I can be together again, ' Emily mused. She then smiled at Jacob.

Emily stayed and received treatment from Mr. Barefoot. She also inquired about Magee's whereabouts.

She came with Magee to this village, but she had no idea where he was now. She was so worried after Magee got lost.

Neighbors told Emily that anyone who came into the mountains and lost their way would receive help from the villagers. They would soon find their way back. They also told Emily to wait for news about Magee and that she need not to worry.

A few days later, Emily still had no news of Magee. But another unexpected visitor came to her.

"Are you the girl who was snatched back by Bear?" The visitor asked. It was a girl with twisted braids. She rushed in and looked down at Emily with a critical eye.
