A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1568 Fulfill Your Wishes In A Dream

“You also need to have a good rest. I have already sent someone to take the children to my place. You just need to take care of Jacob for now,“ Louis said.

Emily nodded her head slowly as she listened. If she was being honest, she had had no time to care about the three children these days. She could only think about herself and Jacob. Fortunately, Louis was considerate enough to help them.

“Keep in touch. I'll come over when I'm free.“ Louis took another look at Jacob with pitiful eyes and sighed. After a few seconds, he proceeded to leave with Taylor.

Not long after they walked out, they saw the doctor who had drawn blood for Louis. He approached them and told Louis, “Eat well to replenish the blood you've lost.“

Louis kept to himself on their way home. He took several deep breaths but said nothing. But when they got home, it was like all the words that he'd been holding back came out at once.

Tired, he leaned his head against Taylor's shoulder and said shamelessly, “You heard the doctor's words. I'm a little weak and I need more nutrition.“

Taylor turned slightly and looked at him very seriously. “I'll go tell the cook in the kitchen to serve more delicious food and with more nutrients than usual for you from now on.“

Louis pouted and tried his best to plead with her, hoping it would work. “I've never eaten the food you cook, so can you...“

Before Louis could finish his words, Taylor gently pushed his head away from her shoulder and said, “Then you'd better get some sleep. You will fulfill your wishes in a dream.“

Taylor shook her head. She had never cooked before. Wasn't Louis afraid of being food poisoned?

But Louis was persistent, so he said, “I'm going to give the cook a holiday now!“

Taylor almost laughed at his silliness. She sneered, “Okay Louis. You see, we have four children in our house now. You can cook for them then.“

As if only realizing it now, his mouth widened in surprise. At the thought of the four children, Louis finally gave up the idea. Nevertheless, he wanted Taylor to cook for him for once. So, he lowered his head and, pretending to be weak, fell back on the sofa. He cried out slowly, “Taylor, I think I'm going to faint again.“

Seeing this, Taylor felt helpless. Louis would do anything to get what he wanted, and this time, she knew that he had won. She rolled her eyes at him and poked him on the cheek. “You can eat the food I cook if you're not afraid of food poisoning!“

Louis smiled ear to ear upon hearing this. He knew that he was successful in his request. Sometimes, all he really needed was to be persistent. He felt really happy.

He was looking forward to seeing Taylor deal with the ingredients in the kitchen.

Taylor spent most of her time working, in front of a computer or buried in paperwork. She took care of the kids, especially Amy, but she had never been in the kitchen to cook for her family. She hired someone else to do the cooking instead. But now, since Louis had won their little argument, Taylor was fumbling around in the kitchen trying to cook for him.

He smiled. 'Does it mean that I'm the most important person in her heart?'

Louis thought happily, ignoring his act of coquetry. He watched Taylor moving around the kitchen as if she really knew what she was doing.

Since it was the first time that Taylor was cooking, she didn't dare to cook anything complex. She didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Louis even though she kept repeating that she didn't know how to cook. She just made a bowl of noodles for him under the guidance of their cook. But even the simple bowl of noodles turned out to be a strange color. When she once done, she immediately wanted to throw it out.

Looking awkwardly at the strange noodles on the table, Taylor was having a hard time deciding whether to give it to Louis. Finally, she took out her phone and handed it to Louis. “How about you ask someone to send you something to eat?“ she asked, wishing quietly that Louis would take the phone.

Louis stared at the phone and shook his head.

Then, he took the noodles cooked by Taylor. He looked at it and smiled like he was the happiest person on earth before gulping it down.

Taylor's eyes went wide as she saw Louis eating the noodles. “You...“ She wanted to say something, but her words were caught in her throat.

“It tastes good, and I know that it will be better next time,“ Louis said quickly in between gulps.

Taylor didn't know how Louis could eat that, because she knew that she had not only put too much sauce in the noodles, but also put sugar instead of salt by mistake. But for Louis, the food was made of love. He didn't mind the taste or the color.

He was happy that Taylor had cooked for him for the first time ever, and he would eat every bit of it. He was smiling while eating, and Taylor was touched upon seeing him like this.

Meanwhile, in the hospital ward, Jacob suddenly started sweating heavily. He frowned in his sleep, and then tried to whisper something.

Emily looked at him immediately, sensing that something was wrong. She walked up to his bed and carefully leaned in to listen, only to hear that he was just calling her name.

“Emily... Emily, don't leave me! Don't leave me!“ Although his throat was dry, Jacob managed to shout louder and louder until he finally woke up from a nightmare.

As gently as possible, Emily wiped the sweat forming on Jacob's forehead. She asked, “Hey, babe. What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?“

Jacob was trying to sit up, so Emily put her hand on his shoulder to help him. Once he was sitting upright, Jacob moved slowly and hugged Emily. He closed his eyes and said, “I had a nightmare just now. I dreamed that we went camping on the mountain. Then suddenly, we were forcefully pulled away by two people. I couldn't reach your hand, and then you slowly disappeared. No matter how loud I called your name, you didn't respond at all.“ He looked at Emily with tears forming in his eyes. “I was scared to death.“

Emily sighed and gently touched his head to comfort him. “It's just a dream, my love. I'm fine, aren't I? Don't worry. I will never leave you. Just take a lot of rest. I promise I'll always be here with you.“

Seeing that Emily was sitting next to him safe and sound, Jacob calmed down a little. But at the same time, as if he hadn't noticed it until now, the pain came rushing through his body, making him wince.

Worry was immediately seen on Emily's face. “Babe, don't move. Does your wound hurt again?“ she asked with her eyebrows furrowed.

Enduring the pain, Jacob took a slightly deep breath and nodded slowly.

As Emily looked at Jacob, who was in pain, she could not hold back the tears in her eyes. “Why are you so silly? Why did you need to rush out just to help me?“ she asked, her voice cracking. She lovedBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Jacob and she didn't want him to get hurt. But now, she was taking care of him and she couldn't help but blame herself.

Jacob didn't answer her question. Looking at her, he just gently wiped the tears on her face. Then, he used the only strength he had to hold Emily tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear, just like in his nightmare. He wanted her to feel how much he loved her.

After a while, when Emily seemed to calm down, Jacob slowly let her go and said, “Emily, promise me that you won't leave me, okay? I'm so afraid of losing you. I can't imagine what would have happened to you if I hadn't arrived in time yesterday.“ He sighed, remembering what happened the night before.

Emily looked at Jacob and she just burst into tears more. It might have been because she hadn't realized that Jacob loved her so deeply that he would give his own life to save her. She had been moved by his act and she wanted him to know that.

Jacob wiped her tears again gently, and held her face in his hands. He said softly, “My greatest luck in life was to meet you. I will protect you at all costs, Emily. I just want you to always be with me. I love you.“

Emily's tears would not stop. She felt lucky to have a man who loved her so much more than she could ever imagine.

She opened her mouth to say something but Jacob was approaching her slowly, moving in to kiss her. Anticipating the kiss, Emily closed her eyes. But then, they heard a cough loud enough to startle both of them. They turned to look at the door and saw Louis and Taylor standing there, watching them. Emily quickly loosened her grip on Jacob's hand, wiped her face, and smoothed her hair awkwardly.

Louis cleared his throat and joked, “It seems that we came at a bad time. We ruined their kiss.“ He said this loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. Then, he looked at Taylor and whispered, “How about we pretend that we didn't see anything? Let's go out first and come in when they're done.“ The

two of them pretended to turn around to leave, but Jacob, who was already lying on the bed again, glared at Louis and said, “You two come back and stop that. If you really didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, why didn't you go out immediately after you saw it just now? Why insist on letting us know that you're here and then pretend to leave?“
