A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 516

Jacob brought Emily back to the house. Without saying anything, he decocted the medicine and then fed her spoon after spoon quietly.

Emily felt as though there was something clearly wrong with Jacob. "What's wrong with you?"

After a long silence, Jacob said, "That man just now, who is he?"

Emily was at a loss. She then burst out into laughter. "You are telling me that you are jealous?"

"No, I am not." Not knowing why, Jacob did not want to admit it, but his ears had turned red. He looked at Emily and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Okay, I won't laugh." Emily refrained from laughing and leaned forward to pinch his earlobes. "Look at your ears. See how red they are? You are still lying."

"I just want to know who that man is," Jacob persisted, still unwilling to admit the truth.

"Then why didn't you just ask him that. Why are you asking me? You can only be so childish and unreasonable in front of me."

"It's not like that. I am not."

"Isn't it true?" Emily observed his face carefully. Suddenly, mischief popped in her eyes like two tiny light bulbs. "Since you really want to know, I will tell you. That man is a friend of yours, and mine too. We are on good terms..."

"Stop saying that," said Jacob. Jacob embraced her, but was careful not to hold her too tight. He gently pressed his chin to her neck and said, "I'm jealous. I don't want to hear it any more." His voice was like a dog that had lost its bone.

Emily hugged him as well. She didn't want him to feel upset, so she explained, "Sorry, I am just lying to you. We are just ordinary friends. To tell you the truth, he is actually your friend."

"But he loves you." Jacob's voice was sullen.

Emily was surprised by the fact that Jacob had caught on to that. Were all men in love particularly sensitive?

"But I don't like him. I only love you, forever and ever."

In the blink of an eye, Jacob's mood changed. He kissed Emily in the earlobe, and whispered, "Me too."

...

Magee and his men's arrival aroused a lot of discussion in the village. Since it was rare for so many people to show up at the village all at once, the villagers were worried about what they were going to do.

Since Magee's men had to wait for a long time, they decided to camp out in the village, as if they had settled there after being lost in the mountains.

In the mean time, Cherry, frequently ran up to Magee's side.

"Mr. Lin, would you like to have some water?"

"Mr. Lin, would you like to eat this?"

Mr. Lin, your clothes are torn. Let me mend them for you!"

"Mr. Lin..."

Cherry's attitude toward Magee was extremely hospitable. However, her mind could be read at a glance by a person with good sense. Magee felt as though she was like a fly that could not be driven away easily.

"You, hasn't your family taught you to be reserved, and not to throw yourself at men's feet all the time?"

Cherry's face turned red with shame, but she persisted, "Mr. Lin, you are different..."

Magee had always been distant towards her and this time was of no exception. "How am I different?"

Cherry bit her lip, and looked at his beautiful face. Her face turned redder, "Mr. Lin, you saved my life. If it weren't for you, I am afraid I would still be hanging there on that cliff. Or worse, dead..."

The memory of that day gave her shivers. "You know, it was Bear who did that to me. You must avenge me, Mr. Lin!"
