Chapter 723 Be Careful! (2/2)

Emily whispered suddenly and involuntarily. How long had it been since she had even thought about that name?

Abbott held a little baby in his arms, gently and carefully, as if he was holding a priceless treasure.

Jacob could not decipher any of the complicated emotions on Emily's face,

other.

Beryl showed quick reflexes and immediately turned sideways to avoid colliding with Emily's swollen belly. In the end Beryl was left hanging over the door like a frightened koala.

Emily was not as nervous as Beryl was. She smiled and asked, ”Why did you get up so early this morning?”

Beryl cast a hesitant glance at Emily's belly, while a complex expression filled her face, as she replied absently, ”Today our school is holding a special activity, and all of the students must go to school early.”

”Oh, I understand.” Emily nodded and asked softly, ”Are you hungry now? The cook has asked for leave today. I will make breakfast for you, okay? When you were a little girl, you always liked my cooking best.”

Beryl nodded. ”Okay.”

She had been missing her mother's cooking for a long time now, but would it still be the same as before? Besides, this was an excellent opportunity to test whether Emily was her mother, or not.

”Well, what would you like to eat?” Emily asked as she walked towards the kitchen.

Beryl considered this for a moment. And just as she was about to answer, she noticed a slick of oil on the floor. She shouted out with her eyes wide open in fear, ”Be careful not to slip!”

But it was too late!

Emily stepped in the shiny liquid and slipped. She fell down at once and her stomach hit the floor with a merciless impact! Beryl rushed over and tried to catch Emily, but it was too late.

Emily lay on the ground and couldn't stand up as intense pain stabbed at her belly. She covered her abdomen tightly with her hands and her face was ghastly pale.

Beryl was so frightened that she dared not touch Emily, or even help her up. She stood frozen in place for several seconds before she finally came to herself. Then she desperately shouted for help, ”Help! Somebody help! We need help back here! Daddy, come here! She fell down! What can I do? Help!”
