A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Anyway, we should stay out of sight." Emily thought that if Jack was really hiding something from her, and he found out that they were out here, he might transfer Rose to another place... Today, Emily was determined to find out what exactly was going on.

"So, do you have any plan to get in?" Not so serious as Emily, Jacob asked a practical question, like he was going on a casual trip with Emily.

Emily frowned and pulled Jacob to a corner. She found that there was a hole for the dog. She hesitated but asked Jacob anyway," How about... getting in through there?" She pointed to the small hole.

Jacob could not help laughing and answered,"Are you a puppy dog learning to go through a hole?"

Emily could feel the sarcasm from his laugh. "Ha ha. Very funny." She was going to turn around and argue with him but she suddenly felt weightless as Jacob grabbed her and cuddled her.

Jacob held her slim waist and pushed her up,"Climb up here."

Now that she wanted to do it this way, he would help her.

Emily finally knew what Jacob meant and was a little hesitant clinging to the wall,"Won't we be found this way?"

"This is a good place to hide so we won't be found." Jacob answered in a low but calm voice which made Emily feel more convinced.

Supported by Jacob, Emily felt less worried and climbed up the wall. When nearly reaching the top, Emily slipped and almost fell down but was caught by Jacob by her hip which he happily slapped making a healthy sound.

"Hey! ..." Emily was shocked by his move and almost fell down from the wall but luckily, Jacob was holding her and pushed her further using his height advantage.

Emily's face was flushed but finally made it to the top. Relieved, she sat on the wall but she could not help feeling dizzy and terrified, looking down to the ground from that height.

"Sit there firmly." She heard Jacob, who then made a few grunts as a gust of wind blew by her side.

Emily turned around and saw a shadow jump up, go over the wall and land on the other side gracefully.
