A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Michelle walked over to the two children, held their hands, and said, “My sister can't come today. I'm responsible for taking you
home.“
“Auntie, you were so awesome just now!“ Dylan and Beryl cried.
As the three of them walked away, their backs gradually became smaller, and their voices started to fade.
In the hospital, Emily's heart almost stopped from shock when she heard the news.
“What? What do you mean? The children were almost abducted again?“ Horrified, Emily suddenly jumped up from her seat.
'These people just never give up on their evil thoughts!' she thought to herself with gritted teeth.
“What's going on?“ When he saw Emily's distressed expression, Jacob couldn't help but feel anxious.
Emily blinked at him and hesitated. She didn't want to tell Jacob about it.
“Tell me what happened,“ he urged her. Jacob couldn't help but feel even more anxious when he noticed his wife's hesitant face.
From the way Emily was looking at him, Jacob could tell that it was about something serious.
“It's the kids,“ Emily finally answered. She cleared her throat and continued, “Someone wanted to kidnap them. Thankfully,
Michelle was there and safely brought them home. Don't worry. The children are fine.“
After Emily finished talking, Jacob attempted to get up from the bed with a struggle. “What did you say? Our kids were almost
taken away?! I can't just lie down and do nothing! I will tear those bastards into pieces!“
Looking at Jacob in an agitated state, Emily couldn't help but regret sharing the information with him. She gently pressed on his
chest and made him lie back down. In a soft tone, she said, “You should focus on getting a good rest. Didn't I tell you? They're
okay!“
“What are you talking about? The kids are more important!“ Jacob got angry.
“What can you do? You can barely get up!“ When she saw that Jacob was being stubborn about the matter, Emily couldn't help
but get furious with him too. “If you try to do anything now, you'll just end up making your condition worse. I will handle it for now.
As I said, our children are fine. I am worried about them too—more than you know. If you have time to get angry, you should also
have time to think about who could have done this. It's much better than you whining like a child.“

After hearing her words, Jacob finally stopped. A frown appeared on his face as he pondered for a while. “I think it was Bill,“ he
said after a few minutes.
Surprised that he was able to come up with a suspect so soon, Emily's eyes widened. Jacob explained, “People always come up
with unusual ideas and methods when they are in a desperate situation. Bill must be really desperate right now and thought he
could get revenge by kidnapping our children. That sneaky bastard. Once I get out of this hospital, I will teach him a lesson!“
“You still need some time to fully recover. What should we do now?“ Emily frowned and sighed.
Jacob fished out his phone and quickly dialed a number. “Sam, come here. I need to see you,“ he said in a demanding tone and
hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Sam came to the ward in less than ten minutes. He walked over to Jacob and politely asked, “What
happened, Mr. Gu?“
Jacob told him the whole story and then ordered, “I want you to get more people to protect Emily and our children.“
Understanding the seriousness of the situation, Sam nodded obediently and quickly left to do his task.
At that moment Michelle arrived at Jacob's ward. “The children are fine. Don't worry. I drove them home,“ she said with a
reassuring smile on her face.
“Thank you so much, Michelle.“ Emily almost cried tears of joy when she heard Michelle say those words. The children meant
everything to her. If they were abducted, she wouldn't know what to do.
“You're welcome,“ Michelle replied softly. After saying that, she turned to leave. She suddenly bumped into Ray while she was
walking out.
“Are you okay, honey?“ Ray looked at Michelle as if she was a goddess. “Are you hurt? Is it serious?“
When Ray heard Michelle say that she was in the hospital, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He had assumed that she'd gotten
hurt, so he had rushed all the way to the hospital.
Confused, Michelle furrowed her brows and asked, “What do you mean? What are you talking about? Why would I be injured?“
“Because you saved the children just now!“ Ray looked at Michelle like she was the only star in the universe. “Honestly, that was
awesome!“

“What? How did you know that?“ A puzzled Michelle squinted her eyes at him. “Did you see what happened? Were you following
me?“
An exaggerated laugh came out of Ray's mouth. “How would that even be possible? I was hard at work the entire day. I only saw
the news while I was resting. The scene where you saved the children was today's headline. You don't know how beautiful you
were in the video that they showed. You might even be as good-looking as me, your husband!“ He grinned at her as he said the
last sentence.
“What the hell?“ After Ray finished his lengthy explanation, Michelle looked at him with a confused expression. She asked,
“News? What news are you talking about? You saw me on the news? Are you serious right now?“
“Yes! Of course, I'm serious! I even saved it! Check it out!“ Quickly, Ray took out his phone and pressed the play button. Michelle
immediately recognized herself on the tiny screen.
Curiously, Emily walked over to them and glanced at the cellphone screen. In the video, Michelle kicked a man on the shoulder,
and he tumbled down quickly. Another man waved a blade in front of her, but Michelle kicked it away before he could use it to
hurt her.
Witnessing Michelle's actions, the rest of the men ran away from her in fear. Then, Michelle swiftly pulled the children away.
'Wow! She is amazing!' Emily thought in admiration as she watched Michelle on the screen.
Both Ray and Emily admired Michelle. Ray was probably her biggest fan.
Like a puppy, he put his head on Michelle's shoulder. His actions were sweet and doting, a contrast to the cold expression that
he would usually show onscreen. He said in a flattering tone, “Honey, the whole crew saw what you did. They said that you were
like Wonder Woman. Our director also said that you are beautiful and that he wants to shoot you in a movie!“
“Oh, being a big star like you sounds fantastic. Then, everyone will also adore me.“ Upon hearing this, Michelle's eyes sparkled.
“No way!“
Suddenly becoming anxious, Ray explained, “There are many bad people in the entertainment circle. A lot of directors will try to
exploit actresses. You will suffer. So just stay at home and continue taking care of our child! I earn enough money!“

“No way! I want to be a star too!“ Michelle was not fazed by what he said at all. She smiled gently at him. “Please recommend
me to your connections.“
Hearing this, Ray cried out in a panic, “No, honey. Please don't do that! You will become so busy if you become a celebrity. It will
be difficult for us to have time for each other if you become famous too. I won't recommend you to anyone. You don't need to be
a star.“
Everyone in the ward burst into amused laughter. Even though Ray was just playing along with Michelle's antics, he still made
several points with his commentary. If she became an actress, it might complicate their lives.
“Okay, all right. I will listen to you.“ Seeing that Ray's reactions were getting childish, Michelle decided to stop playing around.
Michelle was only joking anyway, so it wasn't difficult for her to agree to Ray's request.
Finally, Ray stopped whining and grinned up at her with a satisfied expression.
On the other side, Darren sat in his office and stared blankly at his computer. Suddenly, a piece of news appeared on the front
page. “A woman fights against gangsters to protect two children.“
Usually, Darren would not be interested in this type of news. But his hand accidentally clicked the headlines, and the video from
the article started to play. The video had been shot using a mobile phone. It was not very clear, and it was rather shaky. Darren
was about to close it again when he suddenly saw a man with a familiar hairstyle.
The man was one of Bill's men.
Darren suddenly found himself frozen in shock.
