A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1410

Tears welled up in Emily's eyes as she stared at the photo. She touched her children's faces in the photo as if she was really touching them.

She thought about her children for a while, and then she said, "Taylor... I... I want... I want to see my kids."

"What?" Taylor thought she had misheard Emily.

"I want to see my kids. I miss them," Emily repeated in a clearer voice.

Tears were now streaming down her face.

She felt like she had been a bad mother.

Before Taylor could respond, she heard someone arrive.

Jacob had just gotten home from work, and he caught the last part of Taylor and Emily's conversation. He ran over to Emily excitedly, throwing his briefcase aside. "Really, Emily? You miss the kids? I can take you to them right now," Jacob said.

Jacob could not believe his ears. He thought he had heard Emily wrong, but when Emily repeated herself, he felt very happy and relieved.

Hearing this, Taylor ushered Jacob to one side. "Jacob, can I talk to you for a moment?"

Taylor was also happy that Emily was getting better, but she was her patient. She was responsible for her. Emily might appear much better than before, but Taylor still thought it would be best if Emily took things slowly. She had to be patient in following the treatment step by step. Otherwise, her condition would worsen.

It was difficult for Jacob to restrain his excitement. Following Taylor to the balcony, he asked, "Emily's doing great, isn't she?"

"Mr. Gu, I understand that this is good news to you, but we still need to take things slow with Emily. It's too early for her to interact with the kids. Her condition could worsen, and then all our previous efforts would be wasted," Taylor explained earnestly. "It's my professional opinion that we should wait a little longer. Seeing her kids again could cause her to relapse, which would set her treatment back," she added.

The excitement on Jacob's face disappeared, and he turned serious as he listened intently to Taylor's every word.

'Taylor's right.

If we push Emily now, she might go right back to square one. She's doing pretty well. She sure gets along with Taylor now, ' Jacob thought.

After processing Taylor's explanation, Jacob nodded. "You're right. It's not yet time. Thank you very much for your help, Taylor."

Jacob Gu, a well-known and superior man in the business world, looked weak and fragile in the face of his wife's illness.

"You're welcome. I should get going. I'll see Emily at our next session," Taylor replied. Then, she went back and packed up her things. After reminding Jacob of some things regarding Emily's treatment, she went home.

Seeing Taylor leave, Emily could not help but feel down again. Everyone around her was doing their best to help her, and she could not help feeling guilty about it.

Her eyes were closed, but Emily could feel that she was being carried somewhere. She could feel Jacob's warmth against her, and it gave her a comforting sense of security. Emily felt her heartbeat slow down.

The sun was about to set when they arrived at the seaside. It was a famous scenic spot in the city with a perfect sunset view.

Jacob found an empty bench and carefully put Emily down. His coat slid off her as he set her down. He frowned and quickly pulled the coat back over her.

They were near the sea, and the temperature was low. Emily was only wearing a T-shirt, so she might be feeling cold. Emily finally stirred and slowly opened her eyes. Jacob smiled down at her.

"Hey. We're here," he told her. Emily slowly sat up and looked around.

"The seaside? Why here?" she asked Jacob, smiling. She then sat properly beside Jacob and rested her head on his shoulder.

It was starting to get dark, but there were still a few people on the beach. Emily watched the scene before her and waited for Jacob's answer.

Jacob only smiled. Emily continued to wait while enjoying Jacob's warmth. Then, Jacob pointed to the sea. Emily looked in the direction he was pointing and exclaimed, "Wow! It's so beautiful!" Jacob had brought her to watch the sunset.

The sky bled in soft hues of yellow, pink, and purple like a heavenly abstract painting. The sun had begun its descent on the horizon, rendering the calm ocean gold.

Slowly, the sun sank until it was swallowed up by the line where the sky met the sea. It bathed the world in a lovely golden light, masking every other color that existed.
