A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 230 You Are A Liar

After a while, the door of the emergency room burst open and the doctor walked out.

Emily stopped the doctor and asked immediately, "Doctor, how is she doing?"

"The patient was injected with a particular kind of drug. Her body was too weak to work off all the toxins and she had an overdose. Anyone exposed to this drug would witness a severe addiction, so she should receive an abstinence treatment later on..." answered the doctor.

"What? That liquid contained a drug?"

Emily was shocked. Her eyes were staring at nothing and her mind was wandering away from that place. She had a cold thrill on her back as she recalled all the things that happened.

Tina had tried to injected Emily with that highly addictive drug. It was unbelievable. What if Emily hadn't stopped her? What if it was Emily now lying on the hospital bed completely drugged without even knowing how dangerous the drug was? That was awful!

At that moment, the Tao family, Debby and Andrew rushed into the hospital. Their reaction was the same as Emily's as they talked with the doctor, "What? Drug?" Bess was overwhelmed by that news. She was up to faint away, but then she grabbed the doctor by the arm and asked, "Doctor, can you be a little more specific? How is my daughter now? What are you doing to her?"

The doctor just repeated himself, "The patient was under treatment now and then she would have to go in rehab."

"How did it happen? My Tina would never touch any drug!" With this said, Bess burst in tears and let herself fell down on the floor.

"This..." The doctor pointed at Emily and said, "This lady brought the patient to the hospital. You can ask her what happened exactly."

Everyone turned to Emily, anxious to have some answers.

Emily gathered her thoughts and told them the whole story. When she finished, a moment of silence followed.

Debby was the first one taking the word, "Emily, are you seriously saying that Tina was going to drug you, but she injected that crap in her arm by mistake?"

"Yes, that's it," answered Emily. Emily stared back at her family and at the members of the Tao family. She was calm and without fear. "She wanted to kill me," said Emily. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Even if this is the truth, how can we believe you?" Mark hardened his grip on Emily, "You said that Tina put that syringe in her arm by mistake, but how could that be? It seems to me that the truth is you hated her and wanted to get even with Tina, so you stuck the syringe into her arm when you were fighting each other!"

"I didn't, Mark," Emily was ready for this, "Mark you have to accept the truth! If I really wanted to hurt her, I wouldn't call the hospital!"

"I've seen many liars like you in my life! You may seem gentle and kind, but I know that deep down you are just selfish and vicious! This is why you sent Tina to the hospital. You just want to keep your theatrics going on!" said Mark.

Emily stared at that man. He was her closest relative. They shared the same blood. He was her brother, after all. But anything she would get back from him was hatred. However, Emily's poor heart had suffered too many things by now, so no one and nothing would hurt her again.

Emily smiled at him, "Mr. Tao, I think that your ability to distort the facts is way better than Tina's."

"Emily, is it really true what your brother said?" said Bess, her voice shaking, "Did you really..."

"I've said I didn't do that! Why don't you just trust me?" shouted Emily. Even her real mother didn't believe her. Emily was angry with all of them.

Bess obviously didn't trust Emily and she looked at her disapprovingly, "Emily, I know that you really hate Tina, but what you did to her is too much! Yet Tina has been deprived of her beautiful face. Wasn't it enough? No, you had to make my Tina a junkie! When will you stop destroying her life?"

Bess cried out those words directly on Emily's face. She obviously didn't care of Emily at all. Even if she was her real daughter, she would have never taken the place of Tina, never!

"I've said I didn't do it! Stop yelling at me!" Emily wanted to be somewhere else, far from all this mess. It was really ridiculous. All she asked was to be left alone and live her life peacefully, but they wanted to ruin her life.

Tina had wanted to hurt Emily since the very beginning. Tina had asked life for all of this. She literally reaped what she sowed. Why was it so difficult to understand?

Or maybe they just refused to accept the truth. Even if all the odds were against Tina, they still would find a way to mark Emily as the guilty one and blame her for it and for all.

"Mom..." Emily tried to find comfort in Debby and Andrew faces, just as she had always done.

Debby looked at Emily, but something was wrong. Her eyes were red. Her hands a bit shaking and her face was distorted with what seemed to be disgust. Suddenly she jumped forward and clenched her hands on Emily's neck, "Emily! Why did you hurt my daughter! Why?"

This was way beyond Emily's expectations.

Why did everything become like this?

Emily was completely frozen. 'Mom, why?' she thought sadly. Debby's grip tightened, and Emily was hard to breathe. Her face started coloring and went red, then purple and was slowly blackening.

But this pain was nothing compared to her sense of loss at that moment. For the very first time in her life, Emily felt completely alone. Her mother, the woman who had raised her since she first breathed, was putting her life to an end and all because of that evil Tina!

No one would have imagined that things could have gone in this way.

Mark was watching the scene aside, sneering silently. As soon as he could, he went into the emergency room to visit Tina.

A few moments passed before the Taos realized that Emily was struggling to breathe, so they moved up to stop Debby.

After all, Emily was their daughter. Although she was more like a stranger to them, they could not just stand aside.

But just before they could step in, a strong arm clenched Debby by the back and threw her hard on the wall.

"Ja... Jacob?" The Taos looked at Jacob surprised. For the first time they were relieved to see him.

Once Jacob got rid of Debby, he jumped on Emily to hold her up. She had lost her strengths and was about to fall to the ground. He stretched forward his face and started blowing fresh air in her mouth.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem..." After some trying, Emily coughed many times and felt her throat aching severely.

Jacob searched all over her body to see whether she was injured. Once he saw the mark that Debby left on her neck, he turned to her, "How dare you! This is your daughter!"

In the other side of the room, Debby struggled to get up on her feet. Her body was aching and her mouth was covered with blood. After all, she was not that young anymore. She soon fell down to the ground again and couldn't stand up. Andrew got closer and helped her stand up.

Jacob lifted Emily with both his arms and walked toward Debby and Andrew. He looked dark and sullen as if he was going to kill them.

Andrew was so frightened by that look that he loosened his grip on Debby and stepped back gradually. "Mr. Gu, I didn't...I didn't do anything..." said Andrew.

Debby got back in her mind again as she felt that Jacob was approaching. She was frightened as well by that horrible look, "I... I..."

but she just stuttered and couldn't finish her words.

She wanted to say that she didn't mean to hurt Emily, but she knew that her story was not convincing anybody, neither Emily herself.

"How could you do something like this!" said Jacob. Even if the king himself tried to choke his girlfriend, he would have him put down.

"Jacob!"

Jacob was surprised to hear Emily's voice again. He lowered his head and looked at her. Sorrow was written all over her delicate face.

"Jacob," murmured Emily, "Take me away. Just take me out of here, alright?"
