A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Having said what he wanted to, Mark dramatically pointed his gun towards Jacob. Almost instantaneously, a black mass of guns rose behind Jacob as his bodyguards reciprocated by pointing their own guns at Mark.

And of course, Mark wasn't alone either. A mass of guns rose behind him too. The air was thick with tension as the two sides collided, both their armies behind them.

The two men glared at each other, neither wanting to break eye contact. The air was hot with anger and sparks flew at the potential collision that was about to happen.

Mark looked at the calmness on Jacob's face. Something about it just deterred him from shooting and killing him. The blue veins on his forehead popped as he was trying hard to control himself. Finally, he lowered his gun slowly and rushed into the enclosure to rescue Tina. She was unconscious and had scars all over her body. He lifted her in his arms and rushed out.

"Doctor! Please! Someone come and help!" Mark's voice was loud and commanding and the doctors and nurses coming with him all rushed in.

Jacob looked at them, cold eyed. He did not let anyone stop the rescuing. Instead, he turned and took his man away from the spot arrogantly and wantonly.

Tina was as if breathing her last, grasping at life as if she could let go any moment. Her body was covered in bruises and blood.

Mark took one look at Tina and then gazed angrily at Jacob's retreating back. The distressed look on Tina's face was too much for him to bear.

"Tina, you'll be fine. I will never let go of those who hurt you!"

...

Time flew fast and a month soon passed.

Jack was recovering fast and well. But he still had to stay in the hospital for a while and rest a little, before bouncing back on his feet. He couldn't wait to be up and running again. He wanted go back to the Gu Consortium. After all, that was the only way he could meet Emily.

It was funny that how even one glance at her had become a matter of luck. He didn't know when he was going to see her next.

Jacob had successfully blocked the news from going public. Every single one of Gu's employees were doing carefully what they were doing and dare not mention a word of it.
