A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 200 Emily Is Not Here

In another ward.

Emily sat up on her bed lost in thoughts, as sleep eluded her. Yet for some inexplicable reason there was a strange calmness in her mind.

Although the surgery was just a few hours away, Emily did not feel nervous or terrified. She believed, deeply in her heart, that Jacob would find her and come to her rescue at the last minute.

Sometimes, a woman's intuition could be a magical thing.

Suddenly, someone pushed the thick wooden door of Emily's room wide open.

Emily turned around and saw that it was just another doctor. When she turned around again in disappointment, the doctor said to her,"Miss Bai, I'm here to help you escape."

"What?" exclaimed Emily, as her eyes widened. Emily could not believe her ears as she looked at the doctor again earnestly. When the doctor unveiled her face, she realized that it was the same girl who had helped Anne and Emily escape the other day by disguising herself as one of them.

"Miss Anne sent you to help me, right?" asked Emily.

"Yes, we have no time. Please follow me, Miss Bai. I have dealt with the safeguards outside and the CCTV cameras have been jammed. As for the locator in your body..." The woman briefly explained everything to Emily, while slowly removing the locator from her body with caution.

In truth, Emily was convinced by the woman but still, she kept vigilant.

The woman knew what Emily was thinking as she said,"I'm waiting for your decision, Miss Bai."

The sun was going to rise in a few hours. Time was of the essence, as she was soon going to be lying on a bed helplessly and unwillingly waiting to have the operation, if no one had come to her rescue.

'Anne did not want to have the heart transplant, so she has no reason to harm me. Moreover, this woman had already helped me once...'

After careful consideration, Emily expressed her decision quickly and said,"Okay, I'll go with you."

Everything was smooth sailing after that. Emily did not know how Anne had managed to pull it off, but all the safeguards that were installed to monitor Emily's movements were gone. The whole hospital was quite and empty.

Before long, they found themselves at the gate of the hospital. Driven by adrenaline, Emily strode faster and faster, thinking of what had happened the last time she tried to escape. Having learnt her lesson, she did not want to waste even one second in that place.

In her feverish haste, Emily didn't notice the fragile girl standing near the gate, watching her closely, full of admiration

"That's nice," said Anne. It must be nice to be healthy.

Suddenly, Anne envied Emily a little. Anne stood there like a statue watching Emily get in the car prepared for her. 'God knows how angry Victor is going to be with me when he wakes up, ' she thought and sighed deeply.

Previously, when Anne asked Victor for some water, she had planned on using that water to pass on strong sedatives into Victor's mouth with a bold kiss. Fearing that Victor would notice the difference, she added some crushed candy which she had hidden before.

Anne deliberately tricked Victor so that she could help Emily escape successfully.

As she stood there watching Emily get away, she felt relieved after successfully completing what seemed to be an impossible mission. When she turned around and was going to get back to her room, Anne's body suddenly froze at the sight of the man standing behind her.

"Victor?" 'When did he get here? Didn't the sedatives work? That's impossible!'

Anne thought in her mind as she looked at Victor, nervously. Victor walked towards Anne like an unstoppable storm, while the first thing that came to her mind was to stop him!

"Victor!" she cried out. Anne quickly dashed down to her knees and grabbed Victor's legs, as she planted herself on the ground, begging. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Unyielding as ever, Victor was not influenced by her at all. He kept moving forward as he dragged her along with every step. Anne held on to his leg, resolved not to let him take away Emily's freedom.

"She's gone?" he asked in a low rasping voice, shocked.

Anne could feel the coldness from his voice, as it sent shivers down her spine, freezing her insides one cell at a time. Anne answered,"Yes, I let her go and this time you can't get her back."

Victor took a deep breath, seething in unrelenting anger.

Anne couldn't contain her nervousness, knowing that she had angered him. With a fragile voice she said,"I'm... Sorry."

Disappointed and disgruntled, Victor shut his mouth tightly and did not utter a word.

Anne yanked his sleeve slightly and said," ... I'm feeling cold."

Victor finally move his hands and pulled her into his warm embrace.

'' ... Fine,"

Victor said, in a low and husky voice. Although, he had submitted to her insistence, only he knew how painful it was for him to accept that decision.

Anne felt so glad that she hugged him back, only to find that the tall man was quivering. Anne said," Victor...

Let's go back. I'm tired." Victor sighed and cuddled her up. Anne wrapped her arms around his shoulders and nestled in his arm like a baby deer, looking at his angular chin quietly.

As soon as Victor's head touched the pillow, he fell asleep, incapable of carrying the weight of his heavy eye-lids. He drifted off in dreamlands, with Anne in his arms.

'So the drugs are effective. He must have fought really hard to keep himself awake...' she wondered. Soon, Anne joined him in the land of dreams, as she lay comfortably in the warmth of Victor's embrace.

...

Meanwhile, after the car had driven Emily far from the hospital, she asked to be dropped off on the road, halfway to her destination. Even then, she couldn't let her guard down, especially in a foreign country. The only person she could trust was herself.

At the same time, what Emily did not know was that, St. Li hospital was besieged, just half an hour after she had escaped.

Jacob and his men burst into the hospital like flood water. After searching every possible corner of the hospital, he came to Anne's ward, at last.

"Victor, where the hell did you hide Emily?" asked Jacob.

However, Victor was still knocked out cold, heavily sedated, but the commotion outside woke Anne up from her slumber. She sat up straight and looked at Jacob in surprise. "Who are you? Emily's boyfriend?" she asked.

Frenzied, Jacob didn't even glimpse at Anne, before he tried to drag Victor out. However, Anne stood in his way.

"What are you doing? Do not touch him! Emily is not here!" she screamed at him.

Jacob finally looked at Anne, with gloom in his eyes. He asked,"So where is Emily now?"

"How would I know? She has just escaped from here!" yelled Anne.

"Escaped?" Obviously, Jacob couldn't take her word for it.

Fearing that Jacob would hurt Victor, Anne stood before Jacob and said in a cold, stern voice,"I pity Emily for having you as her boyfriend. What took you so long to find her? She was much wiser to have saved herself!"

Exasperated, Jacob's face darkened as his glare on Anne grew more malicious and unforgiving.

However, Anne was not threatened by his disposition, as she stared back at him and said,"What are you looking at? Why are you still standing here?

Why don't you go and find Emily right now! Are you planning to sleep with us here?"

Dumbfounded, Jacob didn't have any words to face up to Anne's moxie. 'This woman... is insufferable.'

Jacob snickered. Then he ordered some of his men to stay back and keep an eye on Victor and while he led the others to search the whole city for Emily.

Almost an hour after Jacob had left, Victor finally woke up. When his drowsy eyes fell upon the strangers at the gate, the first thing that came to his mind was Anne. He quickly looked around and instantly felt relieved at the sight of Anne sleeping soundly close by.

Seeing the people outside, Victor immediately knew that they were working for Jacob. To his surprise, Jacob had managed to find Emily sooner than he thought he would. Victor knew that the truth would eventually come to light, sooner or later, no matter how hard he tried to keep it concealed.
