A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 194 Are You Trying to Run Away

Victor frowned, as his eyes turned gloomy when Emily refused to help Anne. With a cold-blooded smile on his face, he said,"Even if you don't want to, you don't have a choice."

Victor turned around and walked away, as if he did not feel the need to explain anything else to Emily.

Stunned, Emily stood there motionless, her heart sinking to the floor with each passing second. She had no intentions of sitting around, and waiting for death.

However, in the following days, the number of guards outside Emily's ward increased. She couldn't even go to the lady's room unsupervised. Emily felt like a caged bird, whose wings had been cut off.

Meanwhile, the day of the surgery was fast approaching.

One day, Emily slid the curtains open and thought about jumping out of the window. However, when she looked down, she spotted two bodyguards with sunglasses at the bottom, staring at her motionlessly.

Frustrated, Emily was starting to get desperate.

She quickly slid the curtain back. 'Out of sight, out of mind, ' she thought.

'Jacob, if you don't find me in time, your lovely little girlfriend won't have a heart left to give to you...'

Hopeless, Emily breathed a sigh of resignation, when she heard the euphonious voice of a girl. "Hi," the girl said to her.

Emily looked up to the only person in the ward, apart from her. "Who are you..." Emily asked cautiously.

"My name is Anne," replied the girl, as she walked towards her, with a gentle smile on her lips. She reached out her hand, and said,"Hello there, cutie."

Emily came to herself and shook her hand. "Hi, I'm Emily."

'What's Anne doing here all of a sudden?' she thought. Victor had made it quite clear that he did not want them to learn about each other.

As if she could reach Emily's mind, Anne smiled and then put her finger on Emily's lips. Two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks. "Hush, don't tell him that I sneaked in to your room," she whispered.

"Oh..." Emily did not know what else to say, so she continued,"Please have a seat."

Emily remembered that Anne was in poor health, otherwise she wouldn't have needed a heart transplant to stay alive.

Anne's eyes were a myriad shades of blue swirled together, deep as the ocean. "Thank you," she politely expressed her sincerest gratitude.

Emily paused for a second, and replied,"... You are welcome."

This was the first time Emily had met Anne face to face, and she realized how stunningly beautiful she was. Her facial features were flawless, apart from her transparently pale skin. Without any exaggeration, Anne looked like a crystal doll, beautiful but fragile.

Whoever talked to her would instinctively speak in low voice, afraid of intimidating the angelic girl in front of them.

"Would you like some water?" Emily asked softly. For Emily, nothing could be more awkward.

A forced organ donor facing the transplantee... What could they talk about?

"Thanks, but I am not thirsty," Anne answered. Anne did not feel any embarrassment at all. On the contrary, she looked calm. She put one hand on her chin, while staring at Emily pensively, and

asked,"Are you the one who was eavesdropping on our conversation from the outside?"

"Emm..." Emily was silent. Obviously, it wasn't something she could talk about freely.

Anne asked,"Do you like Victor?"

"No, I don't," Emily blurted without even thinking for one moment.

Anne was both happy and pitiful as she continued,"Why don't you like him? Victor is a nice person. He's very kind and gentle. There can't be another person better than him in the world..."

Emily was thinking in her heart, 'Sure, he's gentle with you. But, for others, he is like a blizzard, terrifying and filled with cold fury. If anyone gets too close, they would freeze up and die.'

In fear of being misunderstood, Emily explained,"Actually, I have a boyfriend."

"Oh I see," Anne nodded, but her eyes made Emily feel like she had no taste in men.

Emily was at a loss for words, but in her mind she was thinking, 'Come on! My boyfriend is perfect as well, rich and handsome.'!

Anne stared at Emily and remained silent for a while. "Are you the donor that Victor had mentioned?" Anne finally broke the silence.

Emily froze for a minute, but when she recollected her thoughts, she bit her lips and affirmed,"So... What did Victor tell you about it?"

Anne tilted her head to her, and said,"Victor said you that were suffering from a terminal disease, so you volunteered to donate your heart to me before you died." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"..." Emily's face twitched. 'Victor is such a good story-teller, ' she thought.

"But from what I can see, you seem quite healthy," Anne continued. Finally, she seemed to have seen the light, and she said,"He has been lying to me, hasn't he? I knew it was too good to be true."

Emily couldn't argue with her, because at that moment, she wasn't sure whether Anne was to blame or not.

"You must have been forced by Victor," Anne said slightly, and continued,"Victor was always like this. I would be pleased if you liked him, so that I could die knowing that he would have someone by his side after I leave the world.

I know he may look cold sometimes, but the truth is, he is tender and loving, but lonely. He is a nice person once you get to know him.

I really wish I could be with him forever."

Emily tried her best to be a good listener, but she knew that there was nothing she could say to change the inevitable.

"I would really like to go out, even for one moment. Can you take me out?" Anne requested, as she waited eagerly for Emily's reaction.

Emily smiled bitterly after hearing her words,"Do you think I am capable of taking you out under these circumstances?" she asked.

"I have my ways," Anne said. She winked at Emily and said,"But you need to promise me one thing first."

Emily hesitated, but her inner voice told her, 'This may be a good chance for me to run away.' She compromised,"... Fine."

Anne was delighted, as her eyes lit up like fireworks. She was so excited she couldn't hold her cough in. Meanwhile, two female medical staff walked in.

"Who are these two..." asked Emily.

"Don't mind them. They are my people, and they only listen to me," answered Anne.

Emily wondered what Anne's intentions were, while she watched the two staff take off their white coat. When Emily finally figured out what the plan was, her eyes glowed like light bulbs with excitement...

A few minutes later, Emily and Anne put on the white coats, swept up their hair and covered their faces with disposable medical masks. They walked out of the ward right in front of the guards willy nilly.

The bodyguards outside looked into the ward. When they saw two shadows, they assumed it was Emily and Anne, so they went back to their post with ease.

Thanks to Anne, Emily finally succeeded in escaping from the hospital.

"Finally we are out!" Emily sighed with relief, when they were walking on the street. Only she knew how much her palms were sweating when they got out.

On the other hand, Anne took a deep breath and said with excitement,"So this is what the air outside feels like."

"Miss Anne, I have kept my word," Emily said. She took off the white coat on her and returned it to Anne, and then she said,"Now, I am leaving."

In Emily's mind, even though she couldn't compete with those strong guards, she could at least run faster than the girl in front of her, who was weak and fragile.

Anne didn't reach out for the coat. Instead, she also took off her white coat. She wasn't wearing much underneath, and she looked thin as her face reddened in the cold. "Are you thinking of running away? she asked.
