Chapter 495 I Love This Surprise Very Much (1/2)

”Our... Our daughter?” Jacob stuttered as he asked. His eyes grew wide as he took in Emily's words. A stream of strange feelings arose from his heart, excitement and warmth. ”How does our daughter look like? I would love to meet her.”

Emily took a photo out from her pocket and handed it over to him. ”Beryl missed you so much.”

In this little photo, Beryl smiled like a flower, which was as pure and lovely as an angel.

Jacob took that little photo in his hand gently, as if it were some treasure. At this moment, something in his vein seemed to be activated, ”So this is my daughter. Our daughter...”

Emily wiped the tears in her eyes quietly. She didn't want to tell him that they could have had a lovely son. However, death had mercilessly taken him away from them.

Jacob put the photo close to his heart, ”Emily, we should leave here as soon as you are healed, shall we?”

He reached out his hands to hug her, but hesitated. He was worried she would not like it.

Surprisingly, Emily hugged him first. She placed her face close to his chest. She closed her eyes and said to him with confidence, ”Alright, I believe in you.”

Jacob felt his heart grow warm at her words and her touch. He tried to hug her tighter, but he was afraid that would hurt her fragile body. After consideration, he carefully held her in his arms.

”I will protect both of you.”

He made a promise to her.

A drop of tear dropped from Emily's face. She said carefully to Jacob, ”This time you can't lie to me any more.”

”I swear to you that I will never lie to you again.”

They warmly hugged each other with so much affection and longing.

The next day, Jacob returned home early with a gorgeous fox-fur coat. He walked toward the room in which Emily was living.
