Chapter 463 We Did Try Our Best (1/2)

”Mr. Gu, we will try our level best!” All doctors witnessed the scene shivering like never before. They were doing everything possible to save Emily's baby. They were using every resource and piece of knowledge at their disposal.

Emily alternated between being conscious and stooping into stupor. She lost all conception of the dreamy world and reality. All she was sure about was the fact that her beloved Jacob was right beside her to take care of her.

The confidence spread through her entire body. She felt as if she were invincible to pain and suffering as long as he stood beside her. A sudden pang of pain struck her hard, but she somehow managed to get past it by keeping her firm belief that she would get through this, no matter what.

Hearing Emily's moans of anguish, Jack was crestfallen and deeply concerned. He felt as if the ground beneath him was swallowing him.

However, he was not a doctor after all. The only thing he could do was to pretend to be strong and render as much as confidence as he could to her and to the doctors in the room.

After many endless hours of struggle, the baby was born to everyone's happiness. The smile soon faded as Emily slipped into a coma.

”The baby isn't able to breath instantaneously. Emergency measures, NOW!”, ordered the duty doctor in a trembling voice. A tense silence prevailed across the room. Prayers filled the vacuum, perhaps.

Half a hour later, a doctor held the stillborn baby in front of Jack. ”Mr. Gu, I'm sorry. We tried our level best. This was beyond us.”

Jack was stunned to his core. He slowly turned blue as he stammered for words, ”The baby... is dead?”

”The baby was born in a premature condition. To further complicate the situation, Miss Emily is in poor health. I'm afraid the troubles don't end with that as well. I'm very sorry, Mr. Gu.”

The rest of the renowned doctor's explanation seemed unclear to him. His whole world seemed to crumble all around him. He held the stillborn baby in his arms.
