Chapter 408 The Angel And Demon (2/2)

ble! How could she hurt her beloved mother?

When Beryl sat up, Emily awoke, and seeing her tear-stained face, she instantly worried, ”What's wrong? My baby girl, are you hurting somewhere?”

”My heart!” She pointed to her heart, and said with remorse, ”Mommy, I know I did something very bad. But don't leave me ... If mommy doesn't love me, then no-one in the whole world will love me, ever again!”

”I will never leave you, my little girl.” Emily was heart-broken upon hearing her words. She pulled Beryl into a tight embrace, stroking her back soothingly, ”It's okay. No matter what you do, I will always forgive you.”

She wept then, losing control. Like a girl hypnotized by the darkness she had finally come to her senses.

Emily coaxed her with a soft voice, and wiped her tears tenderly. ”Look at your little face. It is as dirty as that of a little alley cat. Don't cry! Get up and mommy will make you a delicious breakfast.”

”Okay.” With a nasal twang from weepy sinuses, she sniveled, ”I will go brush my teeth.”

”Good girl.” Emily felt the stone which had weighed her heart down lift, and she could breathe easier than she had in a long time. She climbed from the bed and went to the kitchen to make some breakfast.

The eggs were broken into the bowl, but as she was about to whisk them, a pair of long arms surprised her from behind, wrapping around her waist intimately, ”Why are you up so early today?”

She stifled a shriek of fright and almost upset the eggs from the bowl.

”Why are you so tense?” Jacob laughed by her ear lightly, his voice strong and magnetic.
