A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 229 What Is In This

"What are you going to do? What's that in your hand?" asked Emily, feeling threatened.

Emily wanted to run to the side to parry Tina's attack when she realized that there was a syringe in Tina's hand.

However, Tina yanked Emily's hand with all her strength and scoffed, "What's in my hand? Well, I've got something you are going to enjoy very much!" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Tina locked her menacing eyes at Emily and gave her a wicked smile. She then raised the syringe, ready to inject Emily's arm with some kind of liquid.

Emily shook like a leaf. She felt the blood chill in her veins, as the fear sent a shiver from the top of her head, down to the soles of her feet.

Anyone could guess that the liquid in the syringe was definitely not a good thing.

When the needle was alarmingly close to her skin, Emily shook Tina's hand off with all her strength and grabbed the hand that was holding the syringe.

"Tina! Are you crazy? Help! Somebody help me, please!" Emily cried out for help as she barely fought off Tina.

Even an extremely notorious criminal was nothing compared to a raging lunatic who had nothing to lose.

Given the current circumstances, Emily knew that she was no match for Tina, who was a frenzied lunatic. Emily was certain that if no one came and stopped Tina, she would do something terrible to her.

"Save your breath, Emily. I've observed this road for a few days. No one is going to pass by here at this time," said Tina, as she stared at Emily with the intent to kill. Once again, Tina drew back the syringe and tried to go for Emily's skin.

If only Tina could inject the chemical in the syringe into Emily, the woman she hated most in the world would meet a fate far worse than death.

The both of them were fighting for their lives. The one who would fail to hold on would be the loser.

Emily struggled, as she wasn't strong enough to fight off Tina. The tip of the needle drew closer with each passing second, as Emily started sweating profusely. "Tina, calm down! There must be another way to solve the problems between us!" urged Emily.

"Huh? Emily, are you scared?" asked Tina as her smile grew increasingly wicked. She added, "If you are scared, beg for your life! Just like that day when you knelt down in front of me like a sad dog and wiped my shoes."

Emily got irritated with Tina's insulting behavior, so she said, "You want me to beg to you?

Dream on! I'll bet that's all you think about."

Tina gritted her teeth. The veins on her forehead started popping out, as she applied more force. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Even if you don't want to admit it, I clearly remember what a lowly woman you are..." Tina said with disdain.

"Lowly?" Baffled, Emily looked at her and sneered.

Tina's face became scarier. It seemed like her eyes were going to pop out of their sockets, as she widened her eyes at Emily's arrogance. "What are you laughing at? I'm going to pull out that silver tongue of yours and wipe your tears with it!" yelled Tina.

"What am I laughing at? Obviously, I am laughing at you! You said that I am a lowly bitch only because you disdained my poor birth," sneered Emily. She made fun of the ridiculous woman in front of her, and continued, "But now, I am the real daughter of the Tao family, and you... You are the daughter of the Bai family! Your name should be Tina Bai!"

"Shut up! Bitch!" Tina screamed her lungs out. Tina shook with anger and said, "I'm not Tina Bai!"

She would never be the daughter of the Bai family! How could she be the daughter of a lowly family? How could she have such shameful parents?

Tina wouldn't admit it! Tina wouldn't accept it!

"You're still living in blissful denial. Is there any point in living a lie? If you are not Tina Bai, then who is? Do you still believe that you are Tina Tao? Don't be ridiculous!"

said Emily, with the intention of irritating Tina. Emily was observing Tina's reaction.

Just as Emily had expected, Tina felt offended and she went totally berserk, raging pandemonium. "If you dare speak like that again, I will split your jaw apart! Bitch! You whoring bitch!" cried Tina.

Just as Tina let her guard down, Emily took full advantage of the moment and pushed Tina as hard as she could and bolted out of there.

It happened so quickly that Tina couldn't figure out what was going on, until it was too late. When she finally realized it, she retrieved the look of sullen resentment and chased after Emily.

Just as the old saying went - "When it rains, it pours!"

Although Emily managed to get away from Tina's clutches, she chose a path randomly, and unfortunately ended up in a dead end! It seemed like lady luck wasn't on her side today.

Emily's body wanted to run fast for safety, but adrenaline flooded her system and surged so fast, she almost vomited. She thought her heart would explode at any moment.

"Run! Keep running!"

Tina taunted, as she walked towards Emily one step at a time, with an insidious look in her eyes.

With each one of Tina's steps, the paralyzing fear spread through Emily's body like icy, liquid metal. She clenched her fists hesitantly, and then charged towards Tina head on.

Emily knew that there was no way to escape, so the only way she could get out of there alive was by fighting Tina.

Tina never thought that Emily would charge at her so boldly. Emily sped up and pounced at her, pinning her against the wall, forming an odd version of the kabe-don position.

However, there wasn't any sense of romance between them, just pure, unadulterated hatred.

Tina grabbed Emily's hands and fought Emily impetuously, while, she was also trying to stab the needle into Emily's skin.

Fortunately, Emily dodged her attacks again and again. The sharp needle brushed aside her face a few times.

"Go to hell! Bitch!" Tina yelled wrathfully as her face twisted in resentment. She drew back syringe again and applied more force, hoping to somehow penetrate Emily's skin.

Emily stared at the tip of the needle with her eyes wide open and pulled her hand out from Tina's grasp with all her strength. As a result, Tina ended up missing Emily's hand and accidentally pricked the needle into her own arm.

Everything happened so fast!

Both Emily and Tina froze, as they looked blankly at the syringe. The liquid in it was decreasing rapidly, making its way into Tina's system.

It was the kind of syringe that could inject liquid automatically once the needle had penetrated the skin.

"Ah!" Tina shouted in agony and then fell straight to the ground, writhing in pain. It felt like her bones had no strength and her muscles were all out of power.

Horrified, Emily trembled like a dry leaf. She pulled out the syringe which still had one third of the liquid. "Tina? How do you feel? What is in this?" asked Emily.

Speechless, Tina froze in her spot, drained of all hope, dreams and feeling from within her, replacing them with a feeling of despair, hopelessness and most of all, fear. The pain clawed through her body and choked the breath from her lungs, leaving her body dry heaving, desperately trying to hold on to life.

Emily wasted no more time and called for help. "Hello? Is this the emergency center? Someone is in urgent need of help. She was injected with some kind of liquid. I'm not really sure what it was. Please come quickly! I'm on Lane Seven next to the hospital..." Emily pleaded.

Although she hated Tina, Emily never wanted her to die. Even after Tina had tried to kill her, she just couldn't leave her there to die.

Fortunately, the hospital was just a few blocks away, so the paramedics came in before long and stabilized Tina's condition, before taking her to the hospital.

Emily also followed them to the hospital. She was going to visit Jack earlier, but after what had happened, she no longer was in the mood to visit him, so she just waited outside the emergency room.

Emily immediately informed the members of the Tao family. Then, after brief consideration. she called Debby and Andrew and told them about what had happened.

Although, Debby and Andrew never mentioned anything to her, Emily could feel that they really cared about Tina. As a result, Emily thought it would be good to let them know.
