Chapter 357 Wife-Pursuig Manual (1/2)
Zoe was taken away by the police before she could finish her words.
She deliberately made a big racket so that Beryl would hear her from inside her room. With a pair of big, puzzled eyes, Beryl looked at Jacob and said, ”I can hear Zoe's voice, what is going on there?”
Jacob remained calm and answered, ”Her family is coming over to take her home.”
”Then when will she come back?” asked Beryl
”She won't be coming back again,” replied Jacob.
”Oh.” Beryl yawned and then started to drift in and out of sleep, so she didn't ask any more questions.
”I will be here to hold you so that you can fall asleep.” Jacob held little Beryl carefully in his arms as if he were holding the rarest treasure in the world.
”Woo...” Beryl let her head loll from one side to the other, eyes closing one more time as she enjoyed the brief darkness.
The sight of Beryl sleeping like an angel gave Jacob a sense of satisfaction he had never felt before. A warm smile spread across his face, giving him a sense of fulfillment.
After the police left, Jacob slowly carried Beryl to his car and placed her gently in the back seat, before driving her to the hospital.
The moment Emily saw Beryl, she subconsciously reached her arms out to hold her, but Jacob stopped her and insisted, ”You'd better get some sleep now.”
Beryl was very sensitive to the smell of the disinfectant in the hospital and woke up as soon as she came in. When she saw her mother lying on the hospital bed, she anxiously asked, ”What happened to you, mommy? Are you sick?”
Emily gently brushed her hands over her head and explained with ease, ”Don't worry, it's just a fever. I will be all right soon.”
”Okay, I will behave well so that you will be all right soon.” Beryl smiled.
”Yes, thank you, my love. Thank you for caring about me so much.” said Emily.
