A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 497

"Your flower is about to bloom. Don't you want to have a look at it?" Jack said it in a low voice while looking at the flower tenderly, as if looking at someone through the flower itself.

But when the maid looked at his eyes, she only felt a kind of unspeakable sadness. She had a premonition that perhaps her young master's loved one would never come back.

"Give me the flower." Jack suddenly broke the silence.

"Sure," the maid replied respectfully. She carefully handed the flower pot over to Jack.

Jack held it with both hands preciously.

"When the flower blooms, you will come back, won't you?"

No one dared to respond to him. Only the cold wind whistled through the silence. But the small flower bud in the pot seemed not to be afraid of the cold. It shook with the wind, which looked adorable to Jack.

Jack touched the buds tenderly. A small smile curved on his face, but soon it faded away.

"Let's go," Jack commanded his man.

"Yes, Mr. Jack."

Jack took the pot of flower to the company. Nobody dared to ask and nobody dared to discuss about it either.

In the evening, at the Xu's Mansion.

Rita just lulled both her son and Beryl to bed, when David came back, exhausted and tired.

"Do you have any information about Emily, yet?" That was the first thing Rita always asked David every time he came home.

David finally showed a smile after all the sighs and the frowns she got every time she asked. "Yes, we finally have some clues."

Rita was so excited that she immediately caught David's arm. "Is that true? Where is Emily now? Is she alright?"

"Don't get too excited, yet." David was afraid that she would fall down because of the excitement, so he held her waist and helped her up. "We just found something, but we are not very sure of it," he confessed.

"Just tell me now!" Rita got so anxious that she could not stay still.

David walked her to the sofa and told her, "By chasing after Magee, we sort of figured out where they are now. They should be at a remote location, in the mist mountain outside of Jingshi City. Rivers in Jingshi City pass there before they run into the ocean. I guess Emily was willing to leave with Magee, probably to find Jacob."

"But why?" Rita's eyes turned wider with shock. The news was unbelievable to her. "I thought Jacob was already dead? If..."

"What we saw was not necessarily true." David seemed to have a complex and heavy expression on his face. "But I believe in Emily. She wouldn't do this if she knew it was hopeless or a lie."

"That's great, if all of it is true." Rita took a deep breath and wiped the tears around her eyes. "If Emily and Jacob can return safe and sound, Beryl would be thrilled."

This whole time, Beryl was more obedient but also more silent in their house, as if she was keeping something in her heart. Rita had seen all of it and her heart ached for her, but there was nothing she could do. Although she loved Beryl with all her heart, she could never comfort little Beryl like her mother could.

She was glad that she had a son that was about Beryl's age, who was naughty and outgoing, so that he could cheer Beryl up and talk to her.

"So what are you still waiting for? Send people there! Quickly!"

Rita could not wait any longer to have Emily back. If it had not been the fact that she had two children to look after, she wished she could set out for Emily herself at this instant.

"It's already late in the evening. How can we look for them? We had better wait till tomorrow. I just got this new, and I need some time to make some plans." Under David's eyes were dark circles, because of the tiring and sleepless search these days. "Remember, we must keep our news a secret. We cannot afford to let Jack find out about it, otherwise, they would be in danger!"
