A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 201 Your Cute Girlfriend



Chapter 201 Your Cute Girlfriend

Victor wasn't worried about Jacob's wrath. What he feared most was that Jacob would blame Anne if something had happened to Emily. Fortunately, Jacob was a practicable man. Relieved, he quietly looked at Anne's delicate face and sighed deeply.

How he wished he could breathe life into her dying heart!

It was hard for him not to feel powerless. Without Emily, where could he find another suitable heart for Anne?

"Anne..." Victor mumbled, then went silent again. 'What am I going to do with you?'

...

As the sun had set, night had fallen fast, bringing with it cold wind, as ferocious as a dip in the frozen lakes would be, taking away every bit of warmth from the land.

Emily pulled the thin coat on her tightly, trembling in the cold of the night. She was looking to find a warm place to rest in, when she heard the rapid tramping of feet not too far away.

"Quickly, go your separate ways now! You must find her!" NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Emily's heart pounded in her chest loud and fast. She suspected that they were Victor's people, looking for her. Without hesitation, she rushed into a dark alley, waiting until the coast was clear.

Emily waited there for so long that she had lost track of the time. Only when her feet

were numb with pain did she quietly move to check if the people were still there. Fortunately, by then the people had left to search the other areas...

"Thank God..." Emily blurted out, in relief. She patted her chest to calm her throbbing heart. But before she could breathe easy, someone grasped her shoulders from the back. "Ah!"

Emily shrieked in shock, in the arms of a stranger. Frenzied, she kicked and screamed to get out of his grip. "Let go of me! Get your hands off me!" she cried out.

"Ahh..." He screeched in pain, having been scratched by Emily. "Don't move," he said to her gently.

Under the dim light of the crescent moon, she couldn't see the stranger's face clearly. Emily continued resisting, refusing to obey his words. "Don't touch me! Get your hands off me! I... I am going to scream for help... Hmm..." she threatened.

Before she knew it, the stranger turned her around to face him, and kissed her in the mouth. He silenced her voice with his kiss, as she melted into his arms like a wax doll.

Emily tried to resist at first, but gradually she opened her eyes, to catch a glimpse of the stranger's face more clearly... Although Emily failed to see his face, the taste of his tongue reminded him of Jacob.

That musty smell mixed with a hint of tobacco and mint, as well as the damp air of the wind... 'It was him! Definitely!' Emily confirmed her doubts with the kiss.

Emily hugged Jacob back, with all the strength she had. Thinking of everything that happened in the past few days, the grievance rolled back into her heart. The moment she bit his lips, something sweet with a discreet, metallic scent spread inside their mouths.

Jacob seemed stunned by her yearning, but soon, he was overwhelmed by his own desires as he kissed her back harder. They were in such a daze that they had lost track of time. When he tasted the saltiness and bitterness of her tears, his heart ached with pain. In a low raspy voice, he whispered, " What?"

Emily punched him hard in the chest, while she failed to hold her tears back. "Jacob, what took you so long?" she asked.

Her trembling voice, made Jacob's heart cry. He held her up and put his head close to hers. He said, "It's all my fault. I'm sorry. You can hit me as much as you like, but don't cry..."

Jacob had no idea she would be in a different country. Although, he had turned Jack's place and the entire Tao clan's mansion upside down, he never expected that Victor would be responsible for her disappearance. No wonder it took him so long. It turned out that he had been searching for her in all the wrong places.

"Did you know that your cute girlfriend was going to lose her heart, if you had showed up even a bit later..." she sobbed.

Emily had calmly kept every drop of her tears at bay all these days. Just at the sight of Jacob, she let all her guard down. She knew that she no longer needed to pretend to be strong in her mind. Relieved and comforted by Jacob's loving arms, she let all her grievances flow away with her tears.

Suddenly, Jacob's face darkened with anger. "Victor... How dare he!" Jacob yelled out, infuriated.

"He was only acting out of desperation," Emily replied. As a matter of fact, if Anne hadn't helped her and if Jacob hadn't found her in time, she might not have been alive the next day. "He would do anything for the girl he loves. The surgery has been scheduled for tomorrow!" she added.

"What surgery?" Jacob asked, but he soon figured out what was going on. Like two smouldering pieces of coal, his eyes light up with fiery rage, when he realized that if he hadn't thought of Victor, Emily would have been... 'Damn you, Victor!'

Soon, Emily went over the whole story for Jacob.

"He wanted to transplant your heart to Anne," Jacob sneered, as his face contorted with anger. "Time for his woman to go through what you have suffered..." he said.

Jacob had warned Victor not to approach Emily, but Victor did not hold up his end of the bargain. Instead, he kept going against his word. However, kidnapping Emily with the intention of taking her life to save someone else's, was the straw that broke the camel's back. How dare he!

'How can I accept this! We were friends? What kind of friend is Victor!

Damn it!'

Emily was frightened by his anger and his words, and she cut in immediately, "Jacob, don't be so impulsive! Anne didn't agree with Victor once she found out the truth and she had helped me escape. She is not the one you should blame..."

Jacob, however, didn't seem to heed her words, as his thoughts were spread out all over the place.

Emily was afraid that he would do something bad to Anne, so she put her hands on his shoulders and shook him. "Did you hear me?

Anne is a nice person, and she had nothing to do with Victor's plan," she insisted.

"If it hadn't been for her, Victor wouldn't have had to kidnap you," he said. Jacob didn't think that Anne was as innocent as Emily was making her out to be.

"You... By your logic, I wouldn't have known Victor if I hadn't known you first, then, he wouldn't have kidnapped me either. Don't you think you are also responsible for this?" Emily asked.

"... It's not the same thing," he said.

"What's the difference? It's the same," she insisted. Emily hinted that Jacob's reasoning was flawed.

Troubled, Jacob bit his thin lips, and hugged her harder. He sighed and said, "... I will let you handle this stuff."

"Don't worry. I've got this," Emily nodded. Emily gave him a sweet smile, and placed her head close to his firm chest. She felt a sense of security when heard his heartbeat and felt his warm breath on her head. Instantly, Jacob's anger evaporated, as if it were never there to begin with.

No matter what obstacles life would put on her path, so long as she had him by her side, Emily had nothing to be afraid of.

Jacob instructed his people to watch over Victor and Anne, while he took Emily to the hotel.

With Emily at his side, Jacob could now sleep in peace. After spending countless sleepless nights in her absence, his weary body would finally be able to get some rest.

At the presidential suite of the hotel.

After Jacob got out of the shower, he saw Emily sitting on the soft bed, lost in thoughts, as if waiting for him.

Emily was wearing Jacob's tight sweater, which covered her hip while perfectly complimenting her thin, long legs. Her milky white skin coupled with the black sweater formed a strong color contrast, arousing Jacob's attention.
