A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 537

After Sean left, Beryl laid quietly beside Emily, slowly dozing off.

Just as Beryl was about to fall asleep, Emily suddenly grabbed her little hand and tightened her grip slowly.

Beryl drifted back to consciousness, feeling somewhat relieved and confused. She felt relieved because her mother was close to her, but confused as to why her mother had woken her up.

"Mommy..." Beryl was just about to speak when Emily put her hand over her mouth to stop her from uttering a sound.

'What is going on?' Beryl wondered.

Beryl had a puzzled look on her face, but she didn't struggle. Soon her mother's gentle voice soothed her ears.

"Don't be afraid, Beryl. Mommy just wants to have a word with you. Don't shout or make any loud noises, okay?"

Emily's voice was soft and fragile, but in Beryl's ears, it was like the sound of nature.

She turned to face Emily and nodded slowly.

Emily looked exhausted, but she forced herself to stay awake and speak in a low voice. "Beryl, go find Anna who works in the kitchen. She'll get you out of here. You should listen to her…"

Baffled, Beryl's eyes widened. "Mommy... Why? I don't want to leave you!"

"You need to go and find your daddy. Your uncle is just not feeling himself right now. Do you understand?"

"But Mommy, I want you to come with me..."

"No, not right now, or we both won't be able to leave here. Listen to me, sweetheart. Go to Z country and find your Daddy. He will know what to do. He can come and save me, okay?"

Beryl's tears burst forth like clockwork. She heaved silently and said, "But uncle said that daddy had given up on us. Why should I go and see him..."

Emily gently wiped from Beryl's tears and said, "My silly girl, how could you believe what your uncle had said? There's no way your father would abandon us. Trust me. Go and bring your Daddy back for me, will you?"

Beryl felt the muscles of her chin tremble, with an almost unbearable sorrow. "Okay."

"Be strong." Emily kissed her gently on the forehead and said, "I believe in you, my darling. I will wait for you here."

"I promise I'll be back with Daddy as soon as I can!" Beryl clenched her little fist, and a determined look came over her face.

...

A few days later, Beryl tossed and turned in her bed at night, thinking about what her mother had said when she drifted off to sleep without a conscious thought.

After a while, a soft tap on her shoulder brought her back to consciousness.

Dazed, Beryl opened her eyes to a figure standing over her bed in the dark. When she tried to get up, the person covered her mouth and stopped her from screaming.

"Hush…

Miss Beryl, I am Anna! I have come here on your mother's orders. Please don't make any noises, okay?"

When Beryl realized who it was, she calmed down and stopped moving.

Anna slowly took her hand off her mouth and lowered her voice. "Miss Beryl, your mother must have told you about me."

Beryl crawled over to turn on the light so that she could see Anna clearly and asked, "My Mommy told me go to find you. Why did you come to me?"

"Because it is urgent, Miss Beryl. You must go to Z country as soon as possible to find your father, or your mother will be in danger."

Beryl's eyes widened with shock. "But why should I believe you?"
