A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1569 Reunion

When he heard what Jacob said, Louis said in a displeased tone, “Hey! Don't you know how to be grateful? I just saved your life yesterday! What's with your attitude right now?“

An equally irritated Jacob replied, “They are two different things. You indeed saved me yesterday, and it is true that I should thank you. But you have to find a good time to come and see me! And right now, it's not a good time!“

Louis felt even more agitated with Jacob's retort. “I'm so pitiful! I saved you yesterday, my dear little brother, and yet you have the audacity to treat me like this?!“

'Little brother?' Emily and Taylor looked at each other with wide eyes, hoping that the other could explain, but neither spoke a word. They turned to Louis in confusion.

“Wait, hold on. What brother? What are you talking about? We don't understand,“ Taylor asked, squinting at the two men in confusion. Then she turned to Jacob, Louis' so-called brother.

There was no response from Jacob. He acted as if it was only natural for Louis to address him like that.

With a scoff, Jacob replied, “What? So now I have to thank you for being my brother too?“

Emily watched the two men bickering back and forth with confusion in her eyes. She turned around to question Jacob. “What do you mean? I'm so confused right now. What are you talking about? Since when did you become brothers?“

Jacob glanced at the bewildered Emily with a smile. He opened his mouth to explain, but Louis stopped him immediately. “You are injured. You need to save your strength. Let me explain it,“ he offered.

Once again, Jacob looked at Emily and made a helpless expression. Then, he let out a defeated sigh. “Fine. Please listen to my brother's explanation carefully,“ he told the two women.

After clearing his throat, Louis joked in a deadpan voice, “Everyone, please grab a stool and listen to my tale.“ Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Seeing that Louis was still trying to joke around, Taylor approached him and punched him in the shoulder. Then, she angrily said, “Can you stop torturing us like this? We want that explanation. Now!“

Wincing, Louis rubbed his shoulders. He rolled his eyes and retorted, “Ah. Bad luck seems to be following me around today. First, someone said that I ruined his plans or something, and now, you hit me. I feel like I'm the most hated man in this room right now. Forget it. I don't want to say anything.“

Unable to stand his whining anymore, Taylor raised her fist to hit him again. Of course, Louis didn't want to cause a scene anymore. He quickly blocked the fist that Taylor was about to hit him with and muttered, “Okay, fine, fine. Just stop! I will tell you, okay?“

Both Jacob and Emily shook their heads helplessly. Jacob also couldn't stand Louis' stalling anymore. “Okay, okay. Just say it then. Don't keep them guessing. Out with it!“ he demanded and even made a gesture for Louis to hurry up.

“All right. Here's the thing. Jacob and I are fraternal twins that came from two separate eggs.“ Louis raised two of his fingers to make a point before he continued, “As you can probably tell, our faces are completely different.“

Squinting, Emily carefully looked at Jacob's eyes and then turned to look at Louis' eyes. She found that even the color of their eyes was different from each other. She asked with furrowed brows, “Both of your eyes…. Why are they so different from each other?“

Louis already expected Emily to question this and had an explanation ready. He cleared his throat and stated, “Well, our ancestors had mixed blood. I inherited the genes of mixed blood so I have blue eyes. On the other hand, Jacob did not inherit this mixed blood gene, so his eye color is different.“

After hearing his explanation, Taylor nodded thoughtfully and asked, “Then how come we didn't know that you were brothers before? Weren't you aware of it? Why are you just finding out about this now?“

Some things weren't so simple to explain. Louis frowned and pondered for a while. Then, he finally answered, “I was born in the Gu Family when I was a child. Bill deceived my nanny. She conspired with him to kidnap me. Honestly, we didn't even really recognize each other until I gave a blood transfusion to Baron several years later…“

Hearing what Louis had just shared with them, Emily couldn't help but sigh heavily. “Ah, so you were also abducted and sold. Yet, even after so many years apart, you still recognized each other. It must be fate,“ she said.

Louis grinned at her. “Yeah, I guess you're right. Sadly, I think my so-called brother doesn't want me here because of his lover,“ he teased.

Hearing that, Jacob rolled his eyes again and told Louis impatiently, “Are you done? It's just not the right time for you to come, okay? But I still recognize you as my brother!“

The two men continued to bicker jokingly, but Louis noticed that Taylor didn't say much during the conversation. Instead, she seemed to be contemplating something.

He waved his hand in front of her and asked, “Penny for your thoughts?“

Blinking rapidly, Taylor suddenly came to her senses and asked, “What? I was just wondering how you two recognized each other later. How did you guys know that you were indeed brothers?“

Upon hearing this, Emily looked at the two men with expectant eyes. “Yes, how did you two recognize each other?“ she asked.

“Let me tell you!“ Jacob and Louis answered at the same time. They were like two eager students inside the classroom.

Louis shrugged and said with a grin, “All right. You can tell the story this time!“

Like a little boy who wanted to share some treasure he found, Jacob explained excitedly, “I began to suspect that we were related after the blood transfusion, so I asked someone to investigate it. The information that I found said that my brother was born in the Gu Family. I was a little suspicious, but I didn't really have solid evidence at that time. I wasn't sure about anything until he finally transfused blood to me. My blood matches with his.“

The two women listened to Jacob's story with keen interest, but Taylor still had some questions. As a psychologist, she always liked to get to the bottom of the matter.

“So, why did Bill abduct you instead of Jacob?“ Taylor asked, nudging Louis, who was playing with his phone.

Seeing the expectant look on Taylor's face, Louis immediately put away his mobile phone and replied solemnly, “Actually, I started to investigate that matter a long time ago, but I didn't find any evidence. But a few days ago, I asked a few of my friends to investigate it again. They told me that Bill got his position through trafficking me.“

“But his current position is not something that he can achieve just by abducting and selling one child,“ Emily pointed out.

Of course, it wasn't just Louis. There were several other children that Bill had abducted and sold through the years. Bill was simply an awful human being.

Jacob gritted his teeth and said, “That bastard! He really is a beast disguised as a human!“

Every time Louis thought of this matter, his blood would boil. Suddenly, he frowned and said sharply, “Just wait and see! I will definitely make him pay the price!“

The reason that Jacob and Louis had been separated was because of Bill's evil doings. Jacob wasn't the type to let these things go so easily.

Jacob was ready to fight against Bill!
