A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 73

Jacob paused for a few moments to think, before he asserted," This must be a dream."

Assuming it was a dream, Jacob thought it would be stupid of him not to take advantage of such a favourable circumstance. Emily would never be so nice so him in reality.

Jacob leaned on the bed, like a big boss, and ordered," Emily, apologize to me!"

"I am sorry."

Although she was still a bit confused by Jacob's behavior, Emily's apology was sincere and heartfelt.

Stunned at how obedient Emily was to him, he looked at her in disbelief and whispered," If this is really a dream, I can do whatever I like."

"Emily, come over here and massage my shoulders."

"Emily, massage my legs."

"Emily, sing a song for me."

"Emily, come over and... kiss me."

Emily," ..."

Even at this occasion, Jacob still did not forget to take advantage of her. 'Dear Jacob, can you please go easy on me!'

By the time Emily managed to put Jacob to bed, she was completely exhausted. She knew Jacob was stubborn, but she wasn't expecting to deal with a naughty child.

In the evening, instead of going back home, Emily sat next to Jacob's bed, when suddenly she received a call from Jack.

When she saw Jack's name pop up on the screen, she remembered what Sam had told her, and her facial expression suddenly darkened.

Jack had her completely fooled with his dramatic make-believe stories...

Emily was afraid of disturbing Jacob so she took the call outside the ward. Before the other party could say anything, she served him with a preemptive strike," Jack, I'm coming to see you tomorrow. We need to talk. I have something important to tell you."

Jack seemed to be taken aback a bit, but he chuckled anyway," Okay, I also have something to tell you."

They both hung up simultaneously. Neither of them said anything else, but it was enough to understand what the other party had meant.

Emily stood outside quietly for a while with her phone in her hand, before she got back to Jacob's ward.

In the middle of the night, Jacob once again experienced a high fever. His body was like a giant stove, burning hot coal.

The doctors had tried using a variety of medications, but they were useless, so they recommended the use physical therapy, which was, rubbing the whole body with alcohol.

Seeing the shyness and uneasiness of the nurse who was untying Jacob's clothes, a sudden flash of jealousy crossed Emily's mind, as if her man was being taken advantage of by another woman...

"No, let me do it,"

she firmly asserted, without a second thought.

Displeased, the nurse glanced at Emily angrily and then turned away.

Almost immediately, Emily felt like she did the right thing, when she understood what the other party's intentions were. She meticulously followed the doctor's instructions and untied Jacob's clothes.

For some reason her hands were shaking.

Some parts of Jacob's body were still wrapped in gauze. All the injuries he had suffered because of her, and yet she had no knowledge of it. She felt as if her ignorance had caused him more harm rather than his actual injuries.

'Emily, you are an ungrateful jerk!'

Emily looked down upon herself in her heart. Taking in a deep breath to ease her nerves, she rubbed the alcohol on Jacob's body as per the doctor's guidance, carefully avoiding his wounds.

Emily diligently repeated the process until dawn when Jacob's fever finally started to dissipate. As for Emily, since she hadn't gotten any sleep that night, her back was so painful it felt like she was going to collapse, and she couldn't stop her hands from trembling.
