Chapter 526 Back to Being Emily (1/2)

Watching Emily's face change, Sean slowly added, ”But maybe I can change the result.”

She felt a little relieved, ”Did you just frighten me on purpose?”

His lips angled slightly in a cynical smile, ”Did I? But, you should be confident in me; after all, it was I who saved your baby.”

”Yes.” Distracted by the thought of her lost child, she wondered whether Sean could have saved him with his superior medical skills, had she been in D country at the time of his birth.

Seeing her pallid distress, Sean became serious, looking at her with a clinical eye, ”What's the matter?”

She simply shook her head and flashed a wan smile, trying to assure him, ”Nothing.”

Unconsciously, Sean wrinkled his eyebrows. Suddenly he grasped Emily's hand to feel the pulse. Minutes later, his face sank and he asked, ”Did you give birth to a second child? And where is the child?”

Closing her eyes, she tried to hide her pain, but her tightly pursed lips betrayed her, ”The child died at birth.”

”What?” Pain made Sean's pupils contract, and he couldn't control his anger, ”Why didn't you tell me that you were with child? If you had told me, the child would not have died!”

”I'm sorry, but I didn't know that such a tragedy was going to happen.”

”The child belonged to Jacob, didn't it? Does he have anything to do with the child's death?”

”No! Don't say that!” Emily interrupted him, quietly wiping her teary eyes, ”The child was unlucky. It must be fate.”
