A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 71

When Emily was pulled to the office by Jacob, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground to bury herself.

After her colleagues had seen them like that, who knew what else could they conclude from that.

Emily stared into Jacob's captivating eyes. From her point of view, she could only see a handsome and charming face, with a bit of blush on the cheeks.

Hmm…

What was going on?

"Emily..."

Jacob tried to say something but he struggled to catch his breath. He squatted and then fell directly to the ground.

"Jacob!"

Petrified, Emily screamed out his name, as she quickly got down to see what had happened, only to find out that the other party had fallen into a coma. "What happened to you? Wake up!"

The whole time Tina was there, Emily didn't notice anything wrong with Jacob. All of a sudden, everything changed. His face was as pale as the moon; she checked his forehand with her hand and found that he had a high temperature.

He had a fever!

Emily couldn't tell where her panic and nervousness was coming from at the moment. After failing to wake up Jacob, she quickly dialled 120 and then called Sam.

The ambulance arrived shortly after, and Emily got in with Jacob. She didn't have time to think about the office gossip she would have to face in the company.

In the hospital.

"Mr. Jacob hasn't had proper rest even with serious injuries on his body, so he has not been able to recover fully for a long time. Due to lack of proper medication, his unhealed wounds got infected, and thus, he has a terrible fever right now. In addition, the lack of sufficient rest will cause his body temporary shock."

Emily listened carefully to the doctor's words and wrote down some of the matters that needed more attention. She remembered the day when she and Jack had a meal with Jacob. Jacob mentioned that he was also hurt...

So it was true! He was not lying to her...

However, later that day, she hit him, but he didn't fight back or chase after her. Maybe it was because of his injuries, he would disappear for a few days without any word...

The more Emily thought of it the more she could not help but feel guilty for him.

Sam received Emily's message, and soon rushed to the hospital. He saw his boss lying unconscious on the bed, as the panic on his face doubled.

"Miss Emily, what happened to Mr. Jacob?"

Emily repeated the doctor's words.

After listening to her, Sam's eyebrows furrowed. "Mr. Jacob's injuries had not fully healed, and he was exhausted from overworking. What's worse, he still had insomnia at night..."

In truth, after the earthquake incident, Sam grew to resent Emily.

If it weren't for her, Jacob wouldn't even have been in that situation. Emily, however, seemed to pretend like nothing had ever happened. Not even a single "thank you" note.

Emily also noticed that Sam's sullen face, but she didn't think it was because she had anything to do with it. "Well, do you know how he got hurt?"

When the words left her lips, she saw Sam staring at her like he was looking at a ghost. Having been totally shocked, he argued," Shouldn't you know better?"

"Me?"

Emily subconsciously pointed at herself, as her face carried a blank expression. She then continued," Why should I know better? I really don't know."

Emily was not always with Jacob. How would she know that he was injured. Sam would be the first person to know about Jacob's whereabouts.

Noticing her ignorance, Sam's tone grew colder," Miss Emily, you must be too busy to remember."

When she noticed the coldness in Sam's voice, Emily was even more confused. "Can you just speak clearly? I really don't know, so if you don't explain it to me clearly, I will be very troubled."

Emily's tone was sincere and it didn't seem like she was lying.

Sam also felt a bit confused by her lack of memory. Was Emily suffering from amnesia?
