A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 207 The Most Beautiful and Romantic Love Letter

After contemplating on it for a while, Emily smiled and ridiculed herself for thinking of such things. She shook her head and continued watching the fireworks in the sky.

'It's so beautiful. I wonder if Jacob can see such beautiful fireworks from his place? What's he doing now?'

Emily wondered. "Crack", a firework set off in the sky. Its fiery sparks whipped the sky, bursting through the night, like brilliant inks of light on a canvas of stars.

Emily looked up with wonder. The burning colours looked glorious and vibrant, as the blazing trails curved above, drawing a pattern into the sky ---- 'Emily. Happy New Year'. The colourful words spread over the vast emptiness, almost covering the skies of Jingshi City in its entirety. To put it simply, it was breathtaking.

"So beautiful..." Stunned, Emily's eyes witnessed the beauty, when suddenly she heard the ringing of her phone. She picked it up and answered, "Hello..."

"Happy New Year, sweetheart!" The charming voice soothed Emily's ears, as if she could almost feel his loving presence.

Emily, couldn't help smiling as she said, "Happy New Year, Jacob."

"Did you see the fireworks?" he asked. His captivating voice illustrated his pleasing smile through the phone.

"Yes, it's fantastic," answered Emily. From the smallest details to grand gestures, only Jacob would spare no effort to bring a smile in Emily's face.

"Then look and listen carefully... Emily, I like you so much," Jacob said.

Almost in an instant, Emily's cheeks flushed red. Suddenly, another firework exploded in the sky again, forming colorful words, like painting on black canvas---- 'Emily, I like you so much'.

Another round of glittering fireworks exploded in the sky and lit up the night. Each time they would form different typefaces.

'Emily, I miss you so much'.

'Emily, you are the light in my heart'.

'Emily, you are my one and only'.

"..."

Jacob repeated every word in a gentle way, sounding like a grand concerto of violoncellos in Emily's ear. She could hear his voice clearly, even through the sound of the fireworks.

The vivid colors ignited the otherwise black sky for a long time, and gradually Jacob's voice became husky.

"Emily, I love you." The last sentence finally disappeared in sky right after Jacob uttered them.

Emily gasped, unable to respond immediately. She touched her face and felt the tears flowing down her cheeks. Emily smiled, as if every bad thing in her life had disappeared. "Jacob, I love you too," she replied.

The entire night the fireworks sent hot sparks into the cool evening air, soaring until they were extinguished to blackness. It was the most beautiful and romantic love letter Emily had ever received in her life.

Apart from Emily, all the people in Jingshi City witnessed this great and romantic gesture on the night of New Year's Eve. This really struck the nerves of those people who were still single and miserable.

Damn those rich couples!

Again, without her knowledge, she became the reason of everyone's envy in all of Jingshi City. They spent hours on the phone talking about things lovers usually talked about. After a few hours, thinking of Jacob's throat, they agreed that Emily would continue talking while Jacob would sit back and listen.

Soon, Emily reluctantly hung up the phone and they both went to sleep, but Jacob promised to come back earlier, so he could be with her.

As soon as Emily's head touched the pillow, she fell into deep sleep. All of a sudden, her phone rang again. Half asleep, Emily answered, "Hello.."

It was Debby this time. She seemed to be very anxious, as she said, "Emily, I'm in People's Hospital. Could you please come over right now? It's an emergency!

Come here soon please!"

In her stupor, Emily only understood the words "People's Hospital". Terrified, Emily's sleep disappeared immediately, as if someone had poured cold water on her. "Hospital? Mom, why are you in the hospital? Are you injured? What on earth happened?" she asked.

"Emily, come here first please! It's an emergency. I'll tell you everything when you get here!" Debby hung up the phone.

Anxious, Emily was in a cold sweat. She dressed up quickly and rushed to the hospital.

Let's turn the clock back----Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Debby planned on watching her biological daughter secretly from outside her daughter's mansion. However, considering Tina's household, this was no easy feat.

Disheartened, after failing to catch a glimpse of Tina, Debby decided to go home, feeling defeated.

However, right at that moment she overheard the maids talking about Tina being in an accident in her new car. Frantic, Debby lost control of herself and rushed to the hospital without hesitation.

All Debby wanted to see was whether Tina had survived the accident. As long as she was sure that Tina would be okay, she would leave soon. However, she found out that Tina was in a critical condition, and in urgent need of blood.

Debby hid herself in the distance, panicking from within. Tina had a rare blood type. If they weren't able to find her blood in time, she would die!

The members of the Tao Family were discussion amongst themselves to come up with solutions. Mark squinted his eyes, deeply contemplating, whether he should just expose the truth about Tina's birth to his parents. However, Debby couldn't keep herself away as she rushed to them directly.

"Use my blood! Use my blood! I'm her biological mother. My blood should be the perfect match!" she said. Debby wasn't properly educated. Most of her knowledge about hospitals came from the TV serials she would watch at her leisure time. In her opinion. her blood would match Tina's as she was Tina's biological mother!

Debby caught everyone by surprise, all at once, with what she said.

Mark's face twitched at the sight of Debby, as he cursed her in his mind. "Mrs. Bai, you must be feeling unwell," he said.

He winked at Debby, signalling her to hold back the truth.

However, as desperate as she was, Debby did not care about anything else apart from Tina's safety. She rushed to the doctor and insisted, "Doctor! Please, use my blood to save her! I'm her mother. My blood will match hers for sure!"

"Ma'am, I need you to calm down," the doctor replied. The doctor looked at everyone present in a humble manner. He wasn't quite sure what was happening but he patiently explained, "Immediate family members cannot transfuse blood with their children because it could have an adverse reaction which may lead to death."

"But how? It should not be like this..." she broke down. Debby couldn't believe her luck. If the doctor was telling the truth, not only did she fail to save Tina, but she also exposed Tina's secret to everyone in the Tao family.

'What should I do? How can I fix this?' Perhaps, I can pretend to be insane?' Debby thought in her mind.

Without wasting anytime, Mark exclaimed, "The woman must be stark raving mad. I'll have the guards escort her out of the building!"

Mark was about to call the guards when his father stopped him, abruptly!

"Hold on!" said Abbott. Abbott had gentle and easygoing disposition, but he was not a foolish man. He figured that there couldn't be smoke without fire. He hardened his voice and asked, "Who on earth are you? What do you mean by saying Tina is your daughter?"

"Why are you so concerned about this now?" interrupted Bess. She nudged Abbott on the shoulder and continued, "Our daughter is waiting for the blood transfusion. If you really want to find out the truth, wait until Tina has passed the crisis!"
