Chapter 549 His Child (2/2)
Before he could even find out whether or not he heard right or what had happened now, the little girl rushed towards him and hugged his thigh. She looked up at him with a smile and cried, ”Daddy, I finally see you! Please! Please save Uncle Jack! He's dying from getting hit by a speeding car!”
Jacob ignored the little girl's cries for a moment and looked down on her. She looked dirty with soil and grime while her face and hands were stained by Jack's blood. He wanted to shove the little girl away, but for some unknown reasons, he held his impulse back and stood still, letting the little girl hold on and dirty his expensive clothes.
As he remembered the little girl's pleads, he scoffed and said, ”Save him? On what basis, did you expect me to save him?” He asked in a mocking tone as he looked down on the little girl and pointed towards the body with his index finger.
Beryl ignored the indifference in Jaco
dn't care about Beryl at all. Besides, he still had a lot of things to deal with.
Beryl turned around to watch her father walk away from them, making her eyes welled up with tears again. They rolled down on her cheeks like broken beads as she watched Jacob disappear in the distance. She heard those ruthless words loud and clear, and this time, it broke her heart more.
She couldn't think of any excuse as to why Jacob was evil to Uncle Jack and most especially why he treated her so cold and indifferent.
Perhaps, all those times, he was just pretending and didn't really love her at all.
That was why he refused to accept her as his daughter, and that he was even willing to hand her over to someone else and abandon her as if she was just a material thing that was easy to give away.
”My daddy won't do that to me,” she muttered and continued to cry.
Sam patted Beryl on the back and coaxed her patiently to stop crying. His eyebrows furrowed and wondered why Jacob changed so much. What on earth had happened to him before he returned to Jingshi City? It was still a big mystery, and Sam was going to find out why, especially now that Beryl was in his hands, he was going to focus on Jacob next.
After Sam let Beryl be washed off and changed into fresh clothes, they both headed towards the hospital. They both felt relieved to hear that the doctors were able to save Jack and any day from now, he would be able to wake up. Once Jack was settled in his own room, Jacob took Beryl for a DNA test. He couldn't stand the persistence of Sam and the child, so he had to know for sure whether this girl really was telling the truth or that she was just spouting lies to gain money from him.
Beryl was hesitant to come with Jacob at first, but she obeyed when Sam reassured her and even behaved well during the test. On the other hand, Sam felt to be placed in a complicated mood while he waited in the waiting room. Was it really necessary for Jacob to do a DNA test? Did he really not believe that Beryl was his biological daughter?
Whatever the case, Sam expected that the results would confirm, hoping that it would make Jacob finally believe without a doubt. With the innovation of technology, the test results came out quickly. Jacob stood up from his seat to grab the test result, while Beryl stayed beside Sam, both of which knew what was written on that paper without having to see.
Jacob immediately placed his eyes on the bottom of the paper and found out that the little girl was indeed his own child.
He looked at Beryl, who was looking back at him as if saying, 'I told you so'. His eyebrows furrowed into a frown as he returned his gaze back on the paper, but his mind was lost in his thoughts. 'That little girl really is my child. In that case, who is her biological mother then?'
As his memory took him down the lane, he recalled someone named Emily, who was still quite blurry in his mind. 'Is she Beryl's mother?'
