A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 570

After a while, he suddenly cast her aside, throwing her onto the bed. His face darkened and he left without another word to her.

She lay motionless on the bed, like a soulless puppet which had been used and carelessly discarded.

A few minutes later, a skilled middle-aged female doctor with a blank face came in to examine her and then prescribed medicine for her.

"Miss Emily, this is the contraceptive pill. Please take it everyday. You must start right away," the doctor said.

There wasn't even a hint of empathy on the doctor's face and she clinically treated Emily as if she was just an ordinary patient.

"Contraceptive pill..." Emily muttered these words over and over again, until finally her eyes drowned in an emotional wave. "Jacob asked me to take it?" she asked in disbelief.

For a moment it seemed that the doctor wanted to offer an explanation, but her clinical face slid into place and she answered evenly, "Yes."

"Oh. I understand." Emily burst into self-mocking laughter and felt her heart turn bitter.

Although she knew that she was in poor health and not really fit to have another child for the time being, his reluctance to have a baby with her was a painful blow. She was deeply disappointed.

Only hours before, they had been intimate with each other, and they were so close as to be a joined whole. But now, she felt as if an ocean separated them, a chasm which could not be crossed.

'You are good-for-nothing, Emily, '

a voice inside her mocked.

The female doctor did not leave after giving her the medicine, instead, she stood still and looked firmly at her. Obviously, she wanted to see her taking the pill with her own eyes.

Emily subconsciously raised her hand to cover her aching heart, trying to suppress her pain. But as she lowered her hand, she decided and took the pill.

The doctor seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief. "Miss Emily, now you need to have plenty of rest," she said with some concern.

"Thank you," Emily replied weakly.

What she didn't know was that the doctor did not leave the villa after seeing her, but instead went to Jacob's study where she reported everything about Emily's condition to him.

"Did she say anything?" He stood at the tall window with his back to the door. His face was blurred by the sharp light from the window.

"No." The doctor shook her head, but hesitated, still wanting to say more.

He was impatient with her hesitation and commanded sharply, "Say it."

"Miss Emily's not in good health. Her body will not stand long term use of contraceptives. I suggest that it would be better if you take birth control measures, instead of her taking the pills," she advised clinically.

His face hardened and seemed to turn to stone, as he said abruptly, "Get out. Go!"

Unsure of whether he would take her words to heart, the doctor hesitated momentarily, but then left without another word. She had done all that she could for Emily. There was nothing more to be said.

After the doctor left, he stood motionless at the window looking at the setting sun with eyes as black as the gathering night.

He used to think that Emily must be reluctant to stay with him, but now he had changed his mind because of her initiative. She had even decided to seduce him, which put a ridiculous color on his idea of keeping her by his side simply to torture her.

The woman could easily arouse his emotions and desires, and he found it difficult to remain calm near her. What was her purpose? What did she want from him?

Because of juggling mental and physical exhaustion, Emily soon fell asleep after taking the medicine.

She was unaware of Jacob walking into her bedroom. He stood beside the bed and looked down at her sleeping face.

After a long time, he gave a cold sneer.

Whatever her purpose was, he would not let her have her way. Besides, her body was wonderful and could satisfy him completely. He decided that he would never let her go, not until he got tired of her.

...

The nightmare came back to haunt Emily again.

In her dream, Jacob was a madman with red eyes shinning in a bloodthirsty light.
