A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 504 You Will have No Chance to Rob Me of My Man

With eyes fluttered shut, Jacob's lips had turned blue in his pasty colored face. Clearly he had become poisoned after sucking the venom from her wound.

Anxiously she patted his face to try and wake him up. However, nothing worked and he remained unresponsive. Terrified, she began crying.

But she realized that she had to remain calm. There was no-one to help them, and it was up to her.

She had to take Jacob back!

Emily struggled to help him up and pull him onto the back of the cow. But weakened by the poison as she was, she lacked the strength to move him effectively and almost dropped him to the ground.

The normally docile old cow, however, didn't understand what was going on, and was somehow scared by Emily's movement. It suddenly bolted forward, ripping the rope from her hands and running off.

"Come back!" She knew that without this cow, there was no way in which she could take Jacob back to the village for treatment. On foot it would take too long and he had no time to waste!

She set him down and ran after the old cow. It stopped at the edge of a cliff as she chased it.

"Do not run!" Breathlessly she roped the cow and patted its head, pleading with the animal, "Come back quickly with me now."

"Moo," The cow made a noise, as if wanting to tell her something.

Emily didn't take it seriously. When she tried to lead it to turn around, suddenly there was an extra force behind her which gave her a hard push.

"Ah!" Emily screamed as she fell over the edge of the cliff, with no way to stop her forward momentum. The empty valley echoed with her fearful scream!

In her place stood the woman who had pushed her forward. She looked casually over the edge of the precipice and smiled in satisfaction when she saw no sign of Emily.

"The short-lived competitor, you will have no chance to rob me of my man."

Cherry's lip curled into a malicious arc, and she took up the rope to lead the old cow over to the collapsed Jacob.

"He is handsome enough, but so silly. When Emily was bitten by the poisoned snake, he should have just let her go instead of sucking out venom for her." But he had sucked out the venom from her bite. Looking down at the unmoving man, Cherry was both angry and jealous.

God knew how vengeful she had been while hiding in the grass!

Seeing the intimate kiss between them, she couldn't wait to jump out and separate them! How fortuitous that Emily had been bitten by a poisonous snake then. As if in answer to her prayer, she had wanted to jump with joy!

In the end, she saw Jacob kill the snake and help Emily by sucking the poisoned blood from the bite mark, caring nothing for his own safety. She wanted to tear up the woman then!

Like wild weeds, jealousy grew in her heart.

So Cherry snuck up on Emily as she went after the cow. Taking advantage of her inattention, she pushed Emily off the cliff, eliminating her competition in one fell swoop.

The cliff was very high, and every year a few people would fall, and they would all die!

The bitterness in her heart eased as she considered Emily's fate. With her dead, Cherry would be the prettiest girl in the village.

Without Emily, Bear would definitely prefer her, right?

But the top priority now was to take him back to Mr. Bearfoot. Otherwise he might die of poisoning and foil her plans.

Because Cherry often did farm work, she was strong enough to quickly pull Jacob onto the back of the cow and she quickly steered the animal down the mountain.

Half-way down, Jacob regained consciousness suddenly.

He opened his eyes and saw a woman in front of the cow. But, she was not the one he knew, not the face he loved, and his eyes drew into suspicious slits.

"Cherry? Why are you here? Where's Emily?"

"Who? Oh, your little cotton candy. That's her name? Emily?" Cherry was in a good mood, and she was even happier to see Jacob wake up, because it showed that he was not completely poisoned and would recover, "You were in a coma. She thought that you were going to die, so she ran off with another man."

His face froze in shock, "That's absolutely impossible!"

She shrugged and stared at him, "Nothing is impossible. If I had not saved you, you would still be lying on the ground, dying."

He stared at her coldly, "Don't make up a story. You are full of lies!"

Irritated by his unconditional trust in Emily, Cherry said unthinking, "No matter what you believe, you won't find her anyways."

Hearing her cold words, he jumped off the cow and grabbed Cherry by the neck. His eyes full of scarlet light, he demanded, "Tell me! Where on earth is she?"

Defenselessly, Cherry was slowly choking, and her face turned red, but arrogantly she refused to answer, "I will...absolutely not...tell you!

Jacob's hands tightened in an instant, and his face filled with rage. His eyes were full of scarlet light as he raged, "Tell me! Where on earth is she?"

Cherry, face turning blue, struggled to make a sound, "I won't…say… kill me…if you can"

"Then I'll kill you." Emphasizing every syllable, his eyes shone with a bloodthirsty glint, and his heart beat frantically with fear at Emily's unknown fate.

He felt like he was about to lose something precious, his precious Emily!

Where could she be?

It must have something to do with this woman!

His hands were drew tighter and tighter, showing no mercy at all. Inexorably Cherry's eyes widened and bulged, as her face turned blue and her lungs threatened to explode in her chest.

She finally felt the terrible fear of dying.

Unable to move or even breathe, she could do nothing except watch her own life slip away... It was too painful!

"Stop! I'll tell you!" She tried her best to scream for help, but could only utter a faint mewling sound.

Despite the weak sound, Jacob heard it and instantly loosened his grip. With cold eyes he demanded eagerly, "Tell me quickly!"

"Kekeke!" Cherry coughed painfully and wanted to speak slowly, but he shook her roughly and she struggled to speak, "She...She fell off the cliff..."

She dared not admit that she had pushed her over the edge. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

With the color drained from his face, he became as white as a sheet. Frightened out of his senses, he stumbled back up the trail as fast as his unsteady legs would go.

"Bear!" Still weak from oxygen deprivation, all that Cherry could do was to watch him running away and pound the earth in helpless rage.

He ran on, mind blank with shock.

He knew the cliff that Cherry referred to. It was said that some villagers had fallen off it, but no one had ever survived the treacherous fall!

Emily··· Why did she fall?

Before he fainted, she was still standing in front of him, safe and sound. How could things have turned so tragic suddenly?

He ran so fast that he didn't even notice that his legs were being scratched by thorns and bleeding. Stumbling over rough patches he fell several times, only to get up and carry on.

Unregistering of pain he reached the edge of the cliff. His hasty stop dislodged a stone which fell over the edge. It quickly vanished from sight into the black abyss below.

Jacob's heart went wild. He shouted, "Emily! Emily!"
