A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 152

"... Thank...thank you very much." The girl was almost frightened to tears by Jack's instant change in facial expression. Feeling threatened, she put her cellphone in her pocket and immediately stayed far away from both Jack and Emily.

Emily took a short glance at Jack. Her convoluted expression was starting to appear more clearly. After waiting for long period of time, she said,"Jack, I don't know what your real purpose is, and I don't want to know it. It's true that you saved me at the risk of your own life, and I am really grateful for that. If it were not for you, I would have died. So no matter what happened before, I no longer hold any grudges against you in any way, but that is the biggest concession I can make. I don't think I can ever bring myself to forgive you.

Of course, in the future, If you need any help, I will do my best to help you."

"But I don't want anything, except you," said Jack. Jack looked at Emily's face helplessly, as the emotions brewed in his eyes like a tornado. He said,"My only purpose in life now is to hope that you can forgive me and give me one chance."

"No way," refused Emily.

"I will not give up," Jack persisted.

Emily quietly took two steps back. She didn't see the point in continuing with the conversation any longer.

When train arrived at the station of their company, Emily took the initiative to get out first, in order to avoid Jack.

Jack's eyebrows furrowed with a trace of gloom, as he watched Emily disappear into the distance. Slowly he smiled, and sighed with profound resignation.

'I don't care how long it takes. Emily, I will remind you how good we used to be together. If you don't care about me, then why did you cry for me that night?'

Nothing happened at work the whole morning, until Emily received a telephone call from the receptionist, telling her that there was something she needed to sign for. Without thinking too much, she made her way downstairs, but she was pleasantly surprised to find out that someone had sent her a big bouquet of red roses.

No woman disliked flowers, unless they were allergic to pollen, and Emily was no exception.

"Is this really for me?" she asked.

With a standard smile on his face, the delivery man said,"Miss Bai, this bouquet of flowers was ordered by a gentleman, surnamed, Gu. Please sign and accept it."

A gentleman surnamed Gu? Wasn't that Jacob?

Emily smiled gently and quickly signed her name. It wouldn't be the first time Jacob had sent her roses, so she carried the roses and returned to her office in a bubbly mood.

After a meeting, when Jacob was returning to his office, he saw Emily smelling a bunch of roses with a faint smile on her face; she looked fresh and lovely.

However, Jacob's mood, for some reason, was not as happy as Emily's. His face darkened, and his tone drop several decibels as he asked,"Who sent you these roses?"

"Huh?" Emily raised her eyes in astonishment. She exclaimed,"I thought they were from you!"

"I did not order any flowers for you," he said.

"Then who could it be... The delivery man told me that a gentleman surnamed Gu, ordered it for me..." Timidly, Emily hesitated and then secretly glanced at Jacob's face.

With the surname Gu? Apart from Jacob, was there any other man in the company with the surname, Gu?

The answer to the question presented itself quite apparently.

"Throw them away," said Jacob, with a deadpan expression on his face.

"Oh!" Emily threw the flowers into the garbage can obediently. The bouquet of roses was too big for the garbage can. So she stepped on it, and the roses finally lay quietly in the garbage can.

Her childish behavior immediately delighted Jacob, as his gloomy mood dissipated within seconds. "Good," he said.

...

Meanwhile, at the Tao's Mansion.

After being discharged from the hospital, Tina shut herself in her room. She took off her clothes and stood naked in front of the floor mirror.

The woman in the mirror had a beautiful face, but many terrible scars were added to her once flawless body. The most serious scars spread from her chest to her abdomen, and from her shoulder to her waist. After removing the bandage, they looked like two ugly centipedes, forever engraved on her body.

Even without air conditioning, the air in the room was cold. Tina, however, was so numb that she couldn't even feel the chill.

Tina looked closely at herself in the mirror, and then suddenly started screaming in sheer horror. She screamed like her guts were being ripped out with a blunt instrument. She picked the chair at her feet and smashed the mirror!

"That's not me! It cannot be me!" Tina roared painfully, like a mad beast.

Mark who was standing guard, outside the door, heard the sound of glass shattering coming from inside. A sudden burst of tension and fear gripped him, so he knocked on the door incessantly. "Tina! Tina, what's wrong with you? This is your brother. Open the door!" he shouted.

For a long time, there was no response. Having run out of patience, Mark raised his foot and kicked the door fiercely. "Bang!"

Tina was unwillingly to face herself. Frustrated, she pulled her hair out and stomped on the broken glass on the floor barefooted while ignoring the excruciating pain.

"Tina!" Mark rushed to her and pushed her directly to the bed. He pulled open the quilt, covered her body and comforted her,"It's all right. I'm here! Everything is gonna be alright."

Tina was struggling and screaming frantically, as she wanted to break away from her brother. She seemed to have completely lost her senses, punching at Mark relentlessly!

The bruises and swelling on Mark's face was starting to appear, but he held onto her without letting her go.

"Brother..." Tina said to him, as she cried profusely. She sobbed for a while and continued,"Is my body really this ugly? This horrific piece of display..."

Mark bit his heart in pain. Seeing her like that, made his heart cry out helplessly. He coaxed her patiently,"No, it's not ugly at all. My sister will always be the most beautiful girl in the world!"

"No, you are lying! Obviously it's ugly!" yelled Tina.

Having realized that Tina would collapse again, if she carried on like that, Mark quickly comforted her,"It doesn't matter what the cost is. I'll find the best plastic surgeon and we'll get rid of these scars for you. You'll be back to your usual self in no time, I promise. Okay?"

"R..really?" Tina stuttered, as a glimpse of hope appeared in her eyes.

Tina looked at him with tears in her eyes, which broke Mark's heart. "Really! So what you need to do now is to have a good rest, you know?" he said.

"Then if I get back to my original appearance, will Jacob like me?" asked Tina, wishfully.

Mark's expression froze in an instant, then he said,"After he treated you like this..." 'Why do you still love him? !'

Mark almost spoke out loudly, but he took great effort in restraining himself from asking. He didn't realize that his grip on her was tightening by the second, until she screamed in pain.

Although, it broke his heart to speak the truth, he said,"He won't like you."

"Tell me why he doesn't like me? Why did he treat me like this?" Tina was doomed not to get the answer from Mark. A dark light shined in her eyes, and slowly she showed a spiteful smile. "Those who don't like me should die," she cursed.

Mark was like a faithful knight. He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. "Yes, They should die," he agreed.

'Especially, Jacob.'
