A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1410 Greatly Improved

Tears welled up in Emily's eyes as she stared at the photo. She touched her children's faces in the photo as if she was really touching them.

She thought about her children for a while, and then she said, "Taylor... I... I want... I want to see my kids."

"What?" Taylor thought she had misheard Emily.

"I want to see my kids. I miss them," Emily repeated in a clearer voice.

Tears were now streaming down her face.

She felt like she had been a bad mother.

Before Taylor could respond, she heard someone arrive.

Jacob had just gotten home from work, and he caught the last part of Taylor and Emily's conversation. He ran over to Emily excitedly, throwing his briefcase aside. "Really, Emily? You miss the kids? I can take you to them right now," Jacob said.

Jacob could not believe his ears. He thought he had heard Emily wrong, but when Emily repeated herself, he felt very happy and relieved.

Hearing this, Taylor ushered Jacob to one side. "Jacob, can I talk to you for a moment?"

Taylor was also happy that Emily was getting better, but she was her patient. She was responsible for her. Emily might appear much better than before, but Taylor still thought it would be best if Emily took things slowly. She had to be patient in following the treatment step by step. Otherwise, her condition would worsen.

It was difficult for Jacob to restrain his excitement. Following Taylor to the balcony, he asked, "Emily's doing great, isn't she?"

"Mr. Gu, I understand that this is good news to you, but we still need to take things slow with Emily. It's too early for her to interact with the kids. Her condition could worsen, and then all our previous efforts would be wasted," Taylor explained earnestly. "It's my professional opinion that we should wait a little longer. Seeing her kids again could cause her to relapse, which would set her treatment back," she added.

The excitement on Jacob's face disappeared, and he turned serious as he listened intently to Taylor's every word.

'Taylor's right.

If we push Emily now, she might go right back to square one. She's doing pretty well. She sure gets along with Taylor now, ' Jacob thought.

After processing Taylor's explanation, Jacob nodded. "You're right. It's not yet time. Thank you very much for your help, Taylor."

Jacob Gu, a well-known and superior man in the business world, looked weak and fragile in the face of his wife's illness.

"You're welcome. I should get going. I'll see Emily at our next session," Taylor replied. Then, she went back and packed up her things. After reminding Jacob of some things regarding Emily's treatment, she went home.

Seeing Taylor leave, Emily could not help but feel down again. Everyone around her was doing their best to help her, and she could not help feeling guilty about it.

Looking at Emily's expression, Jacob immediately knew what she was thinking. He walked over to her, sat beside her, and held her in his arms. The thought of Emily suffering from depression broke his heart.

"Do you want to go somewhere?" he whispered to Emily. Even if just for a short while, he wanted to distract her from her worries.

Emily looked up at her husband, smiled, and then nodded. Her curiosity had temporarily freed her from her sadness. She followed Jacob out of the house.

Jacob and Emily drove out of the city. Emily did not know what Jacob was up to. She just sat quietly in the passenger's seat and closed her eyes. Soon, she fell asleep. Jacob did not bother her.

Soon, they arrived at their destination. Jacob parked the car on the side of the road, stepped out, and went to open Emily's door.

"We're here," he whispered.

Emily still slept soundly. Jacob frowned at the dark circles under her eyes. She had not been sleeping well lately.

Jacob tried waking her again, but Emily did not stir. He then went ahead and unfastened her seat belt.

It was autumn, and the temperature varied greatly throughout the day. Jacob slipped off his coat and put it over Emily. Emily's head slid to one side. Jacob carefully lifted her up and carried her, but she remained sound asleep.

Jacob carried Emily down the road. He could see the beach from where he was walking. He walked slowly but surely so as to not wake Emily.

He could feel her breath on his neck. It was already late afternoon.

Her eyes were closed, but Emily could feel that she was being carried somewhere. She could feel Jacob's warmth against her, and it gave her a comforting sense of security. Emily felt her heartbeat slow down.

The sun was about to set when they arrived at the seaside. It was a famous scenic spot in the city with a perfect sunset view.

Jacob found an empty bench and carefully put Emily down. His coat slid off her as he set her down. He frowned and quickly pulled the coat back over her.

They were near the sea, and the temperature was low. Emily was only wearing a T-shirt, so she might be feeling cold. Emily finally stirred and slowly opened her eyes. Jacob smiled down at her.

"Hey. We're here," he told her. Emily slowly sat up and looked around. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"The seaside? Why here?" she asked Jacob, smiling. She then sat properly beside Jacob and rested her head on his shoulder.

It was starting to get dark, but there were still a few people on the beach. Emily watched the scene before her and waited for Jacob's answer.

Jacob only smiled. Emily continued to wait while enjoying Jacob's warmth. Then, Jacob pointed to the sea. Emily looked in the direction he was pointing and exclaimed, "Wow! It's so beautiful!" Jacob had brought her to watch the sunset.

The sky bled in soft hues of yellow, pink, and purple like a heavenly abstract painting. The sun had begun its descent on the horizon, rendering the calm ocean gold.

Slowly, the sun sank until it was swallowed up by the line where the sky met the sea. It bathed the world in a lovely golden light, masking every other color that existed.
