A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1567 Blood Donation

Once Louis was certain that Jacob was no longer in a critical state, he approached Emily to find out what had happened. However, when he saw how miserable she looked, he immediately realized that it wasn't the right time to ask questions. He knew that the only right thing to do at that moment was to sit with his sister and comfort her.

After a while, Emily managed to calm down a little bit and stop her tears from falling down her cheeks. She rubbed her red swollen eyes and then looked at her brother.

“He... He was covered in blood. He saved me... If he wasn't there...“ Emily spoke softly, but her voice was still filled with too much worry and anxiety.

Recalling the horrific accident choked her up, and she needed a few more minutes to regain her composure. After that, she continued telling Louis what had happened earlier. “It was Bill. He and his men followed me when I got out of the office. He's the reason why Jacob is in so much pain right now.“

Before the accident, Emily hadn't really known who had been driving the car to save her. When she had approached the car to check on the driver, she had realized that it was Jacob who had protected her from harm. Even though he had been bleeding from almost every part of his body, Jacob had still managed to gesture something at Bill.

Emily hadn't really understood what he had meant by it. But it had seemed like Bill had known exactly what Jacob was telling him. With a menacing smile, Bill had shouted at them from inside his car. “You brat! You're lucky you got here on time.“

Just the mention of Bill's name caused Louis's blood to start boiling. He was so upset that he felt his eyes starting to fill with a dark, cloudy rage.

'That damned Bill! First, he killed Scott's family and traumatized Scott when he was just a young child. And now, he caused Emily so much sorrow and almost killed Jacob.' With everything Bill had done,

Louis knew it was time to get even.

Right at that moment, he promised to himself that Bill would pay the price, tenfold, for all the things that he had done.

A few minutes later, while Louis and Emily were still talking, the light of the operating room was suddenly turned off. Shortly after, its doors were opened. The two of them quickly stood up in anticipation and worry. Emily couldn't resist the urge to go up to the doctor as soon as he walked out of the room and ask, “Doctor, how is my husband?“

“I'm glad to say that he's doing just fine. We were fortunate that Mr. Ke came as soon as he could. His blood is the only reason that Mr. Gu is stable now. The only thing that's left for us to do is to let him rest.“

Looking past the doctor, Emily saw Jacob lying still in bed. The first thing she noticed was his pale lips, probably because he had lost so much blood earlier. But when she was told that his life was no longer in danger, Emily breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Louis started to feel the effects of donating a significant amount of blood. His face looked paler with every second that passed. Additionally, the stressful situation caused his heart rate to go up. As a result, he became light-headed and had a hard time walking back to the bench.

Emily quickly noticed that her brother wasn't feeling well. She grabbed onto him so that he wouldn't fall down. She asked, “Are you okay?“

Louis shook his head to somehow tell her that it was fine. But the fact that he was constantly rubbing his temples showed how he really felt. In a serious tone, he replied, “I'm fine. I just need a good night's sleep. By the way, don't worry about Bill anymore. I'll deal with him myself.“ Emily nodded in response and helped her brother sit on a nearby bench. From then on, Louis didn't say anything more. He was

deep in thought. After a while, he spoke out of the blue. “Hey, Emily, I'll get some of my people to guard this place, just to be sure that nothing happens to Jacob.“

Although Louis promised himself that he would deal with Bill as soon as possible, he was still worried that Bill might be crazy enough to attack someone in the hospital. He knew that having his bodyguards there to keep Jacob safe would give Emily and himself a sense of reassurance that they really needed.

“All right, that sounds reasonable. Anyway, I'm sure you're tired. You should go back home and rest,“ Emily worriedly replied while biting her lips. She was so grateful to have a wonderful brother to lean on, so she wanted to thank him. “You've done more than enough just by being here and giving him some of your blood. If you had not come, I'm not sure if Jacob would've made it. And for that, thank you so much.“

While recalling the situation, Emily suddenly remembered something. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

According to what the doctor had just said, Jacob had the rarest blood type of all. Coincidentally, Louis had the same blood type.

Emily found it hard to believe that the two men who were always by her side had the same rare blood type. She debated in her mind whether to think it was just a coincidence or...

Could it be something else?

In fact, it was only natural for Emily to think this way since it wasn't the first time that something like this had happened to her. It had been the time that Baron, who had the same blood type as Jacob, had needed a blood transfusion. Unfortunately, Jacob hadn't been around to help. So Louis, had been the one who had provided the blood type that they had needed back then.

All of a sudden, it occurred to Emily that she hadn't thought too much of that situation. The only thing in her mind had been Baron's safety. Obviously, it was hard for a mother to think of anything else when

her own child was sick. So much time had passed by, and she had completely forgotten about it.

If it weren't for this accident, she wouldn't have been able to remember that day.

It was quite astonishing for her to think that there were three people around her with such a special and rare blood type.

Could it really be just pure coincidence?

Out of disbelief, Emily looked at Jacob, who was still lying in bed. And then, she glanced over at Louis who was sitting on the bench and resting his eyes. She couldn't stop her curiosity, so she finally asked Louis about it.

Louis wasn't surprised by his sister's question. He knew it was just a matter of time before he needed to tell the truth.

That being said, he was ready to tell her since he had never planned to keep it a secret anyway.

Louis took a quick glance at Jacob and smiled.

In his mind, he was almost sure that Jacob had his suspicions about this coincidence as well long before Emily ever asked about it.

While pointing at Jacob, Louis replied, “I know you're curious, but we should wait until he wakes up before we talk about it.“

Judging from the look on Louis's face, Emily knew that this truth was a hard one to face. As a result, she simply nodded in agreement and stopped thinking about it, especially since she was not in the mood to listen to a story while her husband was in such a miserable state. All she wanted at that moment was to stay by Jacob's side and take good care of him. Her goal was to give him everything he needed so that he could recover as soon as possible.

After a while, the whole ward became quiet. Emily was sitting beside Jacob while Louis was sitting in a corner of the room. He was so tired that his eyelids would drop from time to time.

About thirty minutes later, footsteps could be heard approaching the ward. Louis thought it was his men, so he opened his eyes.

He felt relieved that he was finally able to go home and rest.

After two knocks, the door was pushed open. Surprisingly, a familiar woman appeared in the ward.

Louis quickly realized that it was Taylor. Seeing the love of his life made his eyes light up. He walked up to her like an excited child. It was like he hadn't donated any blood at all. Emily was amused by her brother's childish reaction. She looked at Louis and shook her head with a smile.

Louis had always been a calm man in Emily's mind. The last thing she expected him to do was behave like this in front of Taylor.

“Why are you here all of a sudden?“ Louis asked while cheerfully holding Taylor's hand. He was so happy to see her that he even had a smile that stretched from ear to ear.

Taylor quickly noticed the teasing look on Emily's face while all of this was happening. She felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to let go of Louis's big hand, but she failed after trying several times. As a result, she just let him be and asked Emily in a concerned tone, “How's Jacob? Is he doing okay?“

Emily quickly nodded her head and replied, “He's all right. The doctor said that there's nothing to worry about.“

Even though Emily had a cheerful tone, Taylor noticed how tired she really was. She was a little worried about her, but she knew it was better to not ask about it. After a while, Taylor was about to ask

something completely different from the accident, but Louis pinched her hand and shook his head a little.

Even if he had nothing to worry about, Taylor chose not to say it anymore.

Emily was completely clueless about the couple's subtle hints to each other. When she looked at the two of them once again, she told Taylor about how much of a help Louis had been. “If it wasn't for him, I'm not sure Jacob would've made it. I'm so fortunate that my brother came at just the right time.“

Taylor was confused and didn't know what she meant. She immediately thought that Louis had done something dangerous, so she furrowed her eyebrows at him and asked, “What did you do?“

Before Louis could even open his mouth, Emily answered for him. “The hospital didn't have Jacob's blood type. Luckily, Louis is the same type as him. Thank you so much for giving him some of your blood, Louis. I can't thank you enough.“ Shortly after, Emily looked at Louis and said, “I'm sure you're feeling tired. Make sure you eat a lot when you go back home. You have to get your strength back since you almost fainted just now.“

Right after that, Emily winked at her brother. Now, the siblings had had their own secret conversation that also went unnoticed.

Louis didn't know how to react to Emily's words. He couldn't understand if she was teasing him or helping him.

As expected, Taylor quickly became concerned when she heard Emily. She worriedly looked at Louis and asked, “Are you feeling better now? Do you still feel dizzy?“ Right after that, she nudged him to the sofa and helped him sit down.

Emily felt a bit of joy when she saw how affectionate the couple was being.

That being said, Louis knew he should really be more sensitive to his sister. Even if Emily had given him a situation where he could nurture his love with Taylor, it would be inappropriate to display their affection in front of Emily while Jacob was still injured. Thus, he grabbed Taylor's hand and took her to the door.
