A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 495

"Our... Our daughter?" Jacob stuttered as he asked. His eyes grew wide as he took in Emily's words. A stream of strange feelings arose from his heart, excitement and warmth. "How does our daughter look like? I would love to meet her."

Emily took a photo out from her pocket and handed it over to him. "Beryl missed you so much."

In this little photo, Beryl smiled like a flower, which was as pure and lovely as an angel.

Jacob took that little photo in his hand gently, as if it were some treasure. At this moment, something in his vein seemed to be activated, "So this is my daughter. Our daughter..."

Emily wiped the tears in her eyes quietly. She didn't want to tell him that they could have had a lovely son. However, death had mercilessly taken him away from them.

Jacob put the photo close to his heart, "Emily, we should leave here as soon as you are healed, shall we?"

He reached out his hands to hug her, but hesitated. He was worried she would not like it.

Surprisingly, Emily hugged him first. She placed her face close to his chest. She closed her eyes and said to him with confidence, "Alright, I believe in you."

Jacob felt his heart grow warm at her words and her touch. He tried to hug her tighter, but he was afraid that would hurt her fragile body. After consideration, he carefully held her in his arms.

"I will protect both of you."

He made a promise to her.

A drop of tear dropped from Emily's face. She said carefully to Jacob, "This time you can't lie to me any more."

"I swear to you that I will never lie to you again."

They warmly hugged each other with so much affection and longing.

The next day, Jacob returned home early with a gorgeous fox-fur coat. He walked toward the room in which Emily was living.

Mr. Barefoot was carrying a smoking dope. He was sitting in front of the door and murmured to Jacob, "You totally forget your benefactor now that you have your wife! Have you ever thought about whether I am cold?"

"Your skin is rough and thick. You don't need a fur coat. But my wife does." When Jacob mentioned "wife", his heart was filled with glee and excitement.

Mr. Barefoot threw his smoking dope directly over him, "Get away from me! Don't display your affection in front of me!"

Jacob hid quickly and averted the smoking dope. Then, he knocked at the door of Emily's room.

Emily had heard their conversation earlier, and she opened the door with a glimmer of smile in her voice. "Why are you always pissing off Mr. Barefoot?"

"Leave him alone. If he ever stops getting angry, he will get bored. That's how his temper works." Jacob placed the fox fur coat on Emily's hands, as if he was presenting a treasure. "Look, do you like it?"

After a while, Emily came to herself and looked carefully at his fox fur coat. It was obviously a real fox fur, although not as pure as the color of snow. There were a lot of gray fur on it, but it was smooth to the touch.

It was not as high quality as the ones she knew.

Every fox fur coat that Emily used to wear was much more beautiful than this one. She asked, "Where did you get this coat?"

Jacob smiled and scratched his head, "I didn't make the coat, but I did hunt the fox and asked the dressmaker to make it for me."

It took a few foxes to make a fur coat, and he didn't have any money. Not until he gave the dressmaker several foxes did the dressmaker agree to make a coat for him.

"So that's the reason why you go out early and come back late these days? Hunting foxes?" Emily gently stroked the fur with a glimmer of heartache in her eyes, "Is that very hard?"
