A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 55 I Promise You

"We can't be together anymore."

Jack's face turned dark and his pupils started to dilate as he felt it was hard to breathe all of a sudden. It felt like his lungs were slowly filling up with water.

Horrified, Emily's face changed," Jack!Are you okay?Or are you playing games with me again?"

The doctor's facial expression also tensed up, as he said," Take him into the emergency room quickly!"

"No, I don't want to go!" Jack clutched onto Emily's hand and refused to let go, he said," If you don't promise me..."

"Okay, okay. I promise you!"It was an emergency situation, so Emily blurted out what she had to in order to get Jack to comply," Let go of my hand now. Doctor, take him in!"

"Do you really promise?"

"Yes, I do..."In an instant, Jack stood up, giddy and excited. Obviously, his condition wasn't as bad as he was making it out to be. Shocked, Emily replied," You, you... you liar!"

"I had to."

"Don't talk to me!"Emily turned her head to look at the doctors and nurses. Most of them were all smiling, while some people had a slight sense of guilt on their faces. Emily said," You were all in this together..."

"Miss, Mr. Gu wants to make up with you. That's why he came to us for help. We all wish you both happiness!"

The doctor smiled and explained. He could not do anything else because Jack was being uncooperative and insistent. He was even given a bank card, prior to all of this, to play up to Jack.

If the doctor didn't do as was requested, Jack said that he would bankrupt the hospital.

Having spent years in his profession, the doctor was able to identify all kinds of people. It was obvious that Jack had a strong backing, and the doctor agreed to help out when he realized that Jack's request seemed to cause no harm to anyone.

Now that this young man had achieved his goal and was reconciled with his girlfriend, wasn't it for the best?

"You... This is going too far!" Emily's beautiful face turned sour when she found out that Jack was cheating her again!

She shook his hands off with force, turned around and ran away, while Jack followed her in a hurry.

"Emily, Emily!"

Outside the hospital, Jack caught up to Emily and hugged her from behind. No matter how much she struggled, he did not let her go," You've made a promise to me, remember?"

"No!"Afraid of hurting him, Emily stood there without moving, then she said angrily," You lied to me, so I lied to you too. Now, we're even! The promise doesn't count! Just let go of me."

"I don't care!You've made a promise!"

"You've gone too far! You lied to me. Again!"

Jack's facial expression changed and he slowly loosened his hand. "If I didn't do that, you would have never made that promise, would you?"

Emily was at a loss of words, mainly because what Jack said was the plain truth.

"I am not willing to accept that."Jack gazed deeply into her eyes. "Why can't you give me a chance, and also give us a chance?

Everyone makes mistakes. How can you just throw away the years we've spent building our relationship? It's not fair, for both of us."

Emily remained silent, lost in her own thoughts.

She wasn't certain whether she still loved Jack, but in that moment when his life was in danger, she did care about him and didn't want him to die...

Everyone makes mistakes, as did she. So... Should she give him a chance to correct himself?

"It was my fault. I'll admit it. My attitude was immature and childish. I took everything for granted. However, I am willing to change for you.

Emily, I really like you."

Emily's heart was touched. She knew that Jack really liked her, or he would not have saved her again and again and without thinking about his own safety.

But did Jack really know what he wanted?

Jack waited quietly for an answer. As the seconds ticked away, his eyes dimmed and lost their glow.

Emily suddenly recalled that when she was buried in the ruins, the man trapped with her, said in a hoarse and gentle voice," Emily, since you drank my blood, you are mine now. Do you hear me? Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

If we can get out of here, I want you to promise me one thing."

Emily clearly remembered that she said," OK".

"Fine, I promise you."The memory of that day, somewhat relieved Emily. Two dimples appeared on her cheeks as she smiled, looking ravishing.

"What..."Jack froze. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Emily, what did you say?"

"I promise you."

'I'll give you a chance, and give me a chance, too, '

thought Emily. When Jacob's face popped up in her thoughts again, she shook him out of her head.

It might work out for her and Jack this time. But no matter what, Emily decided she would have to stay away from Jacob in the future.

Jack was certain that what he heard was true. He was so excited that he picked Emily off the floor and spun around in circles outside the hospital. He wanted to tell the world that Emily was his girl!

"Emily, I love you very much!"

Dizzied, Emily complained and warned," Stop! Don't you feel dizzy? You just got hurt, don't fall... "

Just as the words fell from her lips, Jack got dizzy and suddenly slipped. He fell to the flowerbed next to them, with Emily in his arms.

Emily quickly stood up to help him," I told you not to do that, but you didn't listen to me!"

Jack spat the grass and dirt out of his mouth and laughed loudly," I don't care! I am so happy right now. I cannot control my actions anymore!"

"Don't do that again!"

"OK, whatever you say."

Emily's thoughts took her on a trip down memory lane when Jack used to speak to her like that.

Soon, Emily came to herself. She asked Jack to sit while she checked his wound. Sure enough, the wound opened up again and the blood reddened the bandage. She rushed him to the hospital for treatment in haste.

Jack was unconcerned about his injury, but he followed her orders obediently. Happiness flowed through him, warming his skin like the rays of an early summer sun, even though Emily rolled her eyes at him.

Emily had taken him back and they were back together now. Jacob was no longer his concern. Jacob could jump off a cliff for all Jack cared!

In the evening, they decided to stay in Yunshi City.

As a matter of fact, they stayed around the edges of Yunshi City. In the city center, the aftermath of the earthquake left half of the city devastated as the increasing traffic made things even more inconvenient. Thus, when the rescue operation started, the members of Gu clan sent help there.

Only Jacob had to be taken away because of his serious injuries.

Jack strongly believed that his grandpa's decision of taking Jacob away was absolutely correct. It was just what he wanted.

Jack laughed in his heart. After Emily fell sleep, Jack went back to his hotel room and dialled a number on the telephone, with a heavy face.

It took a long time for the call to get through. "Hello, Jack."

When he heard the person's voice, Jack got angry," Rose, where are you now?"

Rose tried hard to hide her guilt as she replied casually," I'm in Jingshi City. Jack, what's up?"

"I know it was you." Every word he said seemed to hit Rose's heart.
