Chapter 514 Help Me!

Donny told Mrs. Yang everything. The fact that Donny knelt down to beg them to save her broke her
heart. If it weren't for Donny, she would have been dead by now.

This fact, however, increased her resentment towards Jacob and Emily. After all, she almost lost her
life thanks to those two.

While she was deep in thought, Jacob walked into the room.

Startled, Mrs. Yang's head jerked up when she saw Jacob. Fear had filled the corners of her eyes, like
a mouse at the sight of a cat. Out of desperation, she stammered, "You, you back off!"

Donny was nonplussed by her reaction, and he asked, "Mother, what's wrong? Thanks to Bear, you're
still alive right now. Why are you trembling, mom?"

"He, he..." Mrs. Yang was so shocked that she couldn't form proper sentences in her head. She just
repeated the word "he" and pointed her trembling finger towards Jacob.

Jacob did his best to avoid making eye contact with her because it would remind him of the fact that
she tried to kill Emily. It was the only way he knew how to control his anger and stop himself from
strangling her to death. "Since you are awake now, I assume that you are well enough to leave as well.
Please show yourself out, as you are not welcome here," he said coldly.

"Go! Let's go now!" Mrs. Yang tugged at Donny's sleeve. Mrs. Yang didn't want to stay at Jacob's place
for another second.

Donny, however, hesitated, and he answered in timid voice, "But, but I've not seen Miss Beauty yet. I
really want to see her..."

"No way!" Jacob and Mrs. Yang blurted out the same answer at the same time. Jacob said so because
he was jealous, while Mrs. Yang was worried about Donny's well-being. She was afraid of what Jacob



would do if he got mad at her son because of Emily. After all, Donny didn't stand a chance against
Jacob.

This answer upset Donny. He put his hands together and kept begging, "Mom, Bear, I just want to have
a look. Only one look, please!"

"And the answer is still 'no'!" For Jacob, the biggest tolerance to Donny was to set Mrs. Yang free. The
only thing he wanted to do for the moment was to chase them right away.

A sudden footfall broke the ice between them and attracted their collective attention.

They all turned around to find Emily standing at the door in her overcoat. The deathlike pallor on her
face showed how weak she was now.

"Emily, what are you doing here?" Jacob asked, as he strode towards her. He was sulking over her
sudden appearance because he worried about her, and he wanted to take her back to her room at
once.

Donny followed Jacob as soon as he saw Emily, and he said excitedly, "Miss Beauty! You're awake!
You've come to see me, haven't you? I've missed you so much!"

"I'm here now anyway. I'd like to have a word with them," Emily proposed. Emily peered into Jacob's
eyes, and he could see himself in her watery eyes.

The thought of Emily and Donny in the same place filled Jacob with an almost unbearable jealousy as
he walked her into the room with a reluctant expression. If looks could kill, his cold glare would have led
to the murder of Donny and his mother.

"Miss Beauty!" Donny was so happy to see Emily that he opened his arms towards Emily, but Jacob
stood in between them like a wall. Like a puppy looking at its master, Donny stared at Emily and said,



"Can we play together again? I still have those dragonflies and grasshoppers you made for me. I've
kept them safe in my room.

"I'm afraid I can not play with you anymore."

"What! Why?"

Emily furrowed her brows and simply shook her head. She didn't explain herself in detail but she
patiently persuaded him to leave the room. After Donny left the room, Emily turned towards Mrs. Yang,
who was lying in the bed.

She had a ghostly pallor and her lips turned blue due to low blood circulation. It was obvious from her
haggard and sickly face that the snake's poison had almost broken her down.

Although she barely made it alive, she still needed to rest for a long time to regain her strength.

"Why did you try to kill me?" Emily asked calmly, with a blank look.

Mrs. Yang saw no emotion in Emily's eyes, which gave her the crippling feeling of guilt. She avoided
making eye contact with Emily and defended herself, "You're the one who betrayed my Donny in the
first place. Do you know what kind of hell my poor son went through after you left him. He ate nothing
and even stopped drinking water. Because of you, he lost so much weight and became weak. And
you? You just know how to have fun with your man. You don't even care about my son's life at all!"

"This is ridiculous!" Jacob interrupted her with a sharp voice, "Let me just throw her out, Emily."

"Wait!" Emily stopped Jacob, and she calmly looked into Mrs. Yang's eyes. She replied word by word, "I
have a clear conscience about my every decision. I knew it was you pulling the strings behind the
snake that bit me. The only reason I decided to help you this time was because of Donny. Besides, I
didn't want my lover to turn into a murderer because of you.



But I won't be so generous next time.

You can leave now."

Emily turned around and left right after she finished talking, while Jacob followed right behind. Mrs.
Yang was the only one left in the room. She turned grim-faced as she lowered her head in shame,
while thoughts flooded of her mind.

Did she feel remorse for what she did to Emily? She could't find the answer.

Donny and Mrs. Yang soon went away, but Emily didn't bother walking them out. Instead, she rested in
her room in the company of Jacob.

When the villagers saw Mrs. Yang walking back with Donny, they were all shocked as though they had
seen a ghost. After all, they were almost certain that Mrs. Yang had died.

"Oh my! Is that Mrs. Yang? Did Mr. Barefoot save her life."

"Of course. She was almost out of breath last night. Mr. Barefoot is really good!"

"I heard it was because of Donny. Apparently, he knelt down in Mr. Barefoot's yard and kept begging for
a long time, so Mr. Barefoot answered his sincere request, Although Donny was an idiot, he was a filial
son. And look what Mr. Yang did to his wife. Alas!"

This time, everyone was impressed by Donny.

Mrs. Yang felt proud of her son. She always knew that her Donny was a good boy, and now finally
people began to see it as well. The first thing Mrs. Yang desired to do now was to teach her sleazy
husband a lesson.



While she was lying in her deathbed, he was busy arranging the details of her funeral before she had
even died.

Little did he know that soon he would come to regret what he did.

When Mrs. Yang arrive home, Mr. Yang got so shocked that he almost passed out. Needless to say,
there was a big fight in their house that night.

While Emily spent the next few days resting at home, she didn't bother herself thinking about Mr. and
Mrs. Yang. Instead, she thought about more pressing matters:

The abducting and trafficking of the girls who got lost in the mountains. She wasn't too happy to find
that there were new victims in the village. This issue had occurred so frequently that it even became a
part of their daily life. However, Emily was unwilling to accept it.

The problem Emily and Jacob needed to fix was not only their own escape but also the escape of all
the helpless girls who were being held here against their will. She could no longer turn a blind eye to
the rise in the number of victims everyday.

However, before anything else, she knew she had to find some way to get in contact with the outside
world.

One day, when Jacob was out gathering herbs, he found a lonesome Cherry walking by herself.
Without further ado, he seized the opportunity and knocked her out of her senses. He dragged her
body all the way to the edge of the cliff and hung her down

exactly where she had pushed Emily.

When Cherry came to her senses, the view she opened her eyes to froze her entire body in an instant.
Out of sheer desperation, she screamed, "Help! Help! Help me!"



But, sadly, nobody came to her rescue.

Every passing second added to the danger of the rope breaking and sending her to her grave. She
knew the rope wouldn't hold her weight forever, so it was only a matter of time before her life came to
an end. Although, she wanted to scream and shout for help, she refrained from making any sudden
movements.

"Damn you, Bear! And your bitch too! Go to hell! Look what you did to me? How dare you!"

Suddenly, a faint voice entered Cherry's ears, but she assumed she was hallucinating.

"There is a girl hanging from the edge cliff, Mr. Lin. Should we go and help her?"
