Chapter 353 I Dont Need Your Being Kind (2/2)

Emily, who had been worrying about Beryl, disregarded everything else and said, ”I will take you to hospital.”

”Miss Lu.” Jacob reached out to take the child from Emily's arms, but she pushed his hand away quicker than he could realize. Feeling daunted, she screamed at him, ”Don't touch her! She was just at home, safe and sound, where she should be. Why did you bring her out?”

Jacob apologized, ”I had no bad intentions, and she was just fine a while ago.”

”Yes, you don't have bad intentions, but you do not care about her.” Emily did not know what was going on with Beryl, nor did she h

A tightening of his throat and a short intake of breath forecast the explosion of emotion. He had managed to keep buried deep inside.

Finally, he realized, but still could not imagine, just how much pain Emily must have suffered in order to bring Beryl into this world. And poor little Beryl, who was born with such a crippling affliction, has had to live an unhappy life ever since she could remember...

If Jacob had forced Emily to have the child aborted, she would have hated him all her life.

The doctor examined Beryl carefully, and finally diagnosed, ”The child is in good condition, and we could not find any symptoms of disease. It may have been psychological effect that made her feel pain all over, but there is no reason to worry about that.”

Emily was still unconvinced, her heart beating anxiously. ”Is she really all right? But she looked like she was in pain just now.”

”You were overcome with nervousness, which may have made the child nervous as well. But, if there is anything seems unusual within the next 24 hours, come back and get her checked up again.”

”Thank you, doctor.” Emily breathed a sigh of relief, and used her hand to mop her brow, which was now dripping with sweat. She sat down Beryl on her lap and faced Jacob, with a guilty expression on her face. ”... I'm sorry.”
