Chapter 164 I Am Brilliant In Many Fields (2/2)
It surprised Jacob that Emily would have that kind of a reaction. He frowned and quickly stopped the car.
After unfastening the seat belt, Jacob leaned over to Emily and patted her back softly. With a tender voice he tried to comfort Emily,”Don't worry. You must be feeling nauseated by bad experience and motion sickness.”
Emily regurgitated all she had eaten. She took the water bottle from Jacob to rinse her mouth, as she said,”I got your car dirty.”
Her voice had sunk down, almost to a whisper, as if she were a little girl who did something wrong, which melted Jacob's heart; he said,”Just go and take the back se
to labour!”
From the rear-view mirror Jacob saw Emily's anxious look, as he frowned with displeasure, and said,”It's Rita who is going into labour, not you. Why are you so nervous?”
However, Jacob's sarcasm was overlooked by Emily, as she was busy trying to console Rita.
Although, Jacob may have sounded insensitive, he was just teasing her; he sped up the car and said,”If you feel sick again, let me know.” Jacob cared a great deal about Emily, and he did not want to make her vomit again.
He drove as fast as he could and soon, they arrived at the place where Rita was.
Emily banged at the door, but there was no answer from the inside. Jacob, who was standing beside Emily, grew impatient, so he kicked the door open.
Emily rushed into the room and found Rita lying on the ground in the dinning hall, unconscious. Her eyes were shut tight and there was blood all over the floor...
”Rita! Rita!” Emily screamed. Flustered and flurried, Emily, whose face was as pale as the moon, tried to lift Rita. Fortunately, Jacob was there to help her.
”Leave it to me,” Jacob said, with a deadpan expression on his face. Carefully and cautiously, he lifted Rita up and walked out, as Emily soon followed. After slowly placing Rita in the back seat, Jacob said,”Fasten the seat belt for her.”
”What? Oh, okay!” Overwhelmed by the situation, Emily paused for a moment. Seeing Jacob's calm and collected demeanor, Emily realized that she needed to pull herself together. With no further hesitation she sat beside Rita, and fastened her seat belt for her. Then Emily held Rita's hand and prayed for her, as the car sped towards the hospital.
