A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 494 You Forgot About Me

"Cherry, what are you doing here? Why are you here? Stop it! You have no right to shout at her. Stop bullying her!" A familiar and charming voice shouted to stop their confrontation.

Both Emily and Cherry turned around and they saw Jacob by the gate. He was carrying two bundles of sticks. He just came back from collecting firewood.

Cherry stared at Jacob. With her hands on her hips she said defiantly, "I do what I want! Yes, I'm here to bully her. So what? I'm better than her in anything! You should marry me, not her!"

Jacob did not want to talk to Cherry at all. He only cared about Emily. He went directly towards her and with his back turned to Cherry, he asked Emily, "How are you feeling today? Is she bullying you? Did she hurt you?" Jacob caressed Emily's cheek as he asked her gently.

"No, I'm fine." Emily shook her head lightly.

"You can complain as much as you want!" yelled Cherry. "One should answer for what she does herself! I do not deny anything!" she continued. Emily and Jacob continued to ignore her. Cherry felt even more annoyed.

Emily looked pale. Jacob could see that she did not look well. "I'm tired," Emily whispered.

Jacob slightly frowned as he deeply worried about Emily's health. "Go back to your room now and have a rest," he said.

Cherry clenched her teeth tightly. She never saw Jacob care about someone so much. "Did you not hear what I said?! Oh, God!" ...

Jacob watched Emily enter then turned around and looked at Cherry with burrowed brows. "You'd better not cause trouble! Keep quiet and don't you dare disturb her rest."

"You've only known her for several days! What on earth did she do to you? Why are you defending her? I guess that she must be the evil spirit who came from the woods to seduce you!" Cherry complained loudly.

"Shut up!" Jacob's straight face darkened, but his eyes were still gentle when he mentioned Emily. "I knew her far longer than several days. I knew her for years, many, many years," he continued.

Jacob thought that maybe they knew each other for a thousand years.

As Jacob felt that his love could not help but spill over from his heart after he saw Emily.

Cherry was shocked and hurt to see his gentle eyes as she knew Jacob never saw her the way he did to Emily. 'Why! Why! Tell me why!' Cherry's heart yelled.

"Bear, everyone in this village knows that you and I are meant for each other. Now you robbed Donny's wife. Have you no shame?? You have to explain everything to me and fix it right now!" Cherry commanded.

Jacob stared at her with a straight face and said, "I don't like you. I never thought of marrying you. Get out of here, right now!"

His angry face was much like who he was before, cold and powerful. Cherry stepped back. It felt like the air was sucked out of her. She could not believe what she was hearing.

"You, you..." Cherry stuttered. Finally Cherry refuted, "You don't like me?! So who do you like? That wicked woman?"

"Shut your mouth, right now!" Jacob warned.

"Why do you like her? Why don't you like me?" Cherry pushed.

"Because she is far more beautiful than you. That's why you have no right to bully her." Jacob continued to stare at Cherry's eyes as he said each word with spite.

Cherry felt her whole world collapse. Nothing hurt more than what Jacob had said to her.

"I don't want to see you anymore!"

Cherry wiped her tears and turned around to leave.

Mr. Barefoot had been watching them for quite a while. "I think Cherry is not so bad. How lucky you are to have so many girls' affection in this village," he bantered.

Jacob was so handsome that many girls in this village liked him very much. However, Mr. Barefoot knew that Jacob did not belong here. If Jacob did not lost his memory, it was impossible for him to stay here.

'You belong to the outside world. Like a free eagle belonging to the sky. You shouldn't have been bounded in this remote village.

However, this is life and you lost your memory, ' Mr. Barefoot mulled over in his mind.

Jacob did not bother talking to him but went directly into the room. He went to see Emily after putting aside the sticks. He walked slowly and quietly so that he would not wake Emily up.

"Jacob, is that you? Please come in." Jacob heard Emily's soft voice. Emily did not go to sleep, but sat on a chair to sew Jacob's clothes. Each stitch was full of her love for Jacob.

Jacob asked in a low voice, "Are you angry? I promise you that Cherry will not come to bother you anymore."

"Cherry? So her name is Cherry, right? What a lovely name." Emily said naturally as if she was talking about today's weather. It made Jacob confused.

Still, Jacob apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Emily finally raised her head to look at Jacob and asked, "Why are you apologizing? For what reason?"

"I don't know," Jacob answered honestly.

"You're apologizing, but you don't even now why?" she said.

"I know you're not happy," he said. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Well, yeah. I'm not happy," Emily agreed. She put aside the needle. "I can see that Cherry likes you very much. Today we got a 'Cherry', and tomorrow we would get a 'Berry'. Who knows? How lucky you are to have so many girls like you," Emily complained.

"I don't like them at all." Though Jacob lost his memory, he felt Emily's unease and discomfort. He hurried to explain himself, "Trust me please, I, I..."

Emily knew that Jacob would not like others. Still, she felt uncomfortable to see Cherry. "You, you...what? What do you want to say?" she asked.

"I..." he hesitated. Suddenly, Jacob held Emily's hand and took a deep breath. It seemed that he was going to run out all his courage. His face flushed as he finally said, "I like you! Emily, I like you."

Emily took back her hand easily and said, "Don't lie to me. You have lost all your memory. You even forgot me. How could you still like me?"

"I swear I do. Yes, I do! I do like you!" he interrupted. Jacob held her hand again and looked at her affectionately as if he was going to imprint her in his mind forever. "You may not believe me, but it's

true. When I woke up in this village, I lost all my memory. At that moment, I felt like that my heart was lacking a piece.

Until I met you, I knew that my heart was finally full again," he explained. Jacob bent down slowly and put Emily's hand on his chest then continued, "It was the first time that I felt that my heart was alive and I knew that every beat was all because of you."

Jacob lost his memory but he knew clearly that he was deeply in love with this woman in front of him. The feeling was so strong that he even could not control himself. It was just like an instinct.

It was the first time that Jacob was so eager to get back all of his memory.

He wanted to know everything about their past.

"Emily, could you please tell me everything about us? About our past?" he asked.

Emily paused for a while as she looked at him. She felt his heart beat with her hand, strong and powerful.

Jacob had become much simple and shy since he lost his memory. This was what Emily had never seen before. Now, Jacob was just like a young boy who had his first crush, looking at her, nervously and gingerly.

"Our past?" she murmured. "I would love to tell you everything you want to know," she answered gently.

...

Jacob learned about everything from Emily. He found out about his life.

Everything felt so familiar to Jacob, as if he was very close to the world Emily said. But sometimes, he felt that it was so far from him, too.

Emily did not tell him about their second baby as she was afraid that they would have to suffer from it again. Therefore, she just chose to tell him something happy.

"Beryl is our daughter. All she wants for such a long time is that we three can live together forever. If we could go back sooner, she would be very happy," she said.
