Chapter 1070 Jacob Could Not Control His True Feelings (1/2)

With tears in her eyes, Emily suddenly noticed the scissors on the bedside table. She felt so weak that she was unable to stand up, and her expression became glazed over. Then a terrible idea popped into her mind.

'If I took those scissors and stabbed them into my heart, all my troubles would vanish into thin air.

But… Oh, no!'

Emily instantly regained her sanity. Startled by the darkness of her own thoughts, she felt a cold sweat run down her back, and her fingers trembled. With a shake of her head, she tried to abandon those unrealistic, dangerous ideas, and she repeatedly warned herself not to think like that.

Now that she was pregnant, she could not afford to do anything stupid.

It had gotten dark, but Emily still lay awake in bed, staring blankly up at the ceiling.

In the moonlight, the blades of the scissors shone silver and luminescent.

Meanwhile, Jacob was anxiously waiting in his office for news about Emily.

”Mr. President, I've heard from the attending doctor that Miss Bai fainted during this afternoon's rainstorm, after which she was taken to the hospital. And… And she's also two months pregnant.”

The assistant stood before Jacob, his head bowed in a respectful manner. Being unsure of how Jacob would react, he kept a cautious watch on his own expression lest he cause offense.

It was obvious that Jacob's dealings with Emily had been capricious of late, so, even though the assistant knew Jacob well, he was not sure what was really going on in Jacob's head.

'If he really loves Emily, why did he do such cruel things to her? Yet, if he doesn't love her…why would he bother to send his men to inquire about her? He's behaving so strangely!' the assistant thought to himself.

”What?”

Jacob's pen fell from his nerveless fingers to the ground. With furrowed brows and a dumbfounded expression, he suddenly looked up at the assistant and then jumped up. With a look of disbelief, he asked, ”She is pregnant?”

As Jacob asked this question, he was not aware that his hands were trembling. At this point, his mind had become swamped with confusing thoughts. He tried to remember what had happened before.

'I don't think she'd have gotten pregnant a few days ago. It's too early. So...'

His heart ached when he thought of the night, two months before, when he had divorced Emily.
