A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 553

Emily closed her eyes as she let go of all the tears that welled up on her eyes. Every drop of tear fell down on Sean's eyes, and it felt like warm acid burning on his skin. He removed his hand on her face and paused for a few moments to look at Emily. There was a hint of malice on his eyes as he said, "I'm sorry, but everything will be fine after a sweet dream. I promise."

At the mention of the word 'dream', Emily's eyes immediately shot wide open. She shook her head violently and refuted, "No! I don't want to sleep. What difference does it make? It's going to kill me either way."

"You know what? I never intended to kill you, but you are really disappointing me right now. All I hope for you to do is be obedient," Sean said, the impatience evident in his tone. He then slightly pressed the syringe and a beam of liquid sprinkled out, making a beautiful curve in the air.

For Emily, the liquid looked more scary than beautiful. She had never once been frightened like this all her life. She struggled and tried to get up like a lunatic and even bit a few hands that were holding her down. "Let go of me! Let me go!" She yelled while thrashing on the bed.

No one expected that Emily would act like a crazy, wild animal, and soon, they all let go of their grip on her as they clutched onto their hands that were now red with bite marks.

At this very moment, Emily exerted all her strength and energy to struggle out of her binds and ran away from the room.

Sean tried to catch her, but he only got a piece of her white sleeve. The syringe then fell on his hand and on the ground, making Sean more furious and impatient.

"What are you just standing there for? Catch her!" Sean yelled, picking up the syringe on the ground as if it was the most precious and valuable thing on earth.

Emily looked back and saw the medical staff running after her. She knew better that it was impossible for her to run out of the Lu's building alone with all the people under the Lu family roaming around the building and especially her energy that was slowly draining would never let her make it outside.

Therefore, she decided to run above and as she reached the rooftop, she stood on the edge of the high-rise building, waiting for Sean.

Within the span of two minutes, Sean and his subordinates arrived at the rooftop.

Sean could not help squinting his eyes from the sun light. His eyes widened in surprise as it focused on Emily standing on the edge with the wind blowing her medical gown and hair. "Cloris, get away from there! It's dangerous!" he yelled.

He then ran immediately towards her.

"Stop! Stay back!" Emily shouted. She was so weak and frail that she felt like a kite now waving in the strong wind. It seemed like she didn't need to jump. One strong push from a wind could make her fall down. She ignored this feeling and focused her attention to Sean. "One step closer, and I will jump down from here!" she threatened, pointing down.

Sean froze on his tracks. His face fell and eyes darkened. "You… you would rather die than be with me."

It was more of a statement than a question. Emily waved her hand and said, "No, it's not what you think." She looked at his face, but her eyes were hallow and empty. In the light, her pale face made her look more of a walking dead. She continued to speak. "I just... I just don't want to be another person. You see, you just called me Cloris, but my name is Emily, so who the hell am I? Cloris or Emily?"

"You are Cloris, and Emily is also your name. There is no difference, so what's wrong with it? You know what? I can call you whichever you like. Just please, don't be stupid and come down here." Sean was calm and composed from the outside, but deep inside, he was worried and panicking.

It seemed like he was going to lose something important again, and he couldn't afford to feel broken and empty again.

'I can not lose you, Emily. If you die, I will never be able to find someone else who looks this much like Cloris!' Sean thought.

He needed Emily's fresh and perfect body so that he could be able to place in Cloris's soul and personality. When the time came, Emily would forever be Cloris.

'This will be your rebirth, Emily. It will also be Cloris's rebirth.

Why can't you see that this is flawless? What is wrong with it?' He wondered without saying these words out loud.

Emily shook her head. "No! Of course not! There is a difference! How could they be the same?" She closed her eyes for a second. They turned scarlet red from all the crying and the feeling of deep sorrow, creating a great contrast on her pale face. She opened her eyes and continued, "Emily's memory is very different from what Cloris had. She had never experience what Emily had experienced, the same way Emily hadn't experienced what Cloris had. What Cloris knew isn't what Emily knows, so why do you keep insisting they're the same? They're not, Sean. They are completely different people!"

If Emily became Cloris, she would lose everything she had now. She would forget Jacob, Beryl, and everyone else she had met and everything she had experienced to become the Emily she was now.

There was no way she was going to want to forget all these. She'd rather die than do so.

"I know why you are resisting right now." Sean took a small step towards her as he talked to distract Emily's attention on his strides. "You are resisting me for Jacob, right? But what about him? It has been such a long time, and yet, he didn't even come to see you even once, did he?"

Emily gulped hard and said, "He does not know of my situation. If he knew…"

"Oh, Emily," Sean interrupted. "Please, stop deceiving yourself. I got news that Beryl is back in Jacob's home now, so how could Beryl not tell Jacob about your situation? He must know of it right now, and yet where is he? Stop lying to yourself, and just accept the fact that he had given up on you."
