Chapter 1081 Self-mutilation (2/2)

”Don't speak anymore. I don't want to die. I don't want to die...”

Emily's words were like a huge bomb to Jacob, exploding his entire mind.

He was shocked, and his body was frozen completely. All he could feel was a sense of coldness running through his whole body, from head to toe.

He was

ht of David, who was giggling like a simpleton with joy. Right now, David wasn't the man who could ride a whirlwind in the business industry. He was simply a father who was thrilled to see his newborn baby girl. Rita shook her head and raised her arms, trying to cradle the baby in her arms. However, she was too weak to even raise her arms.

”Don't move. I've got her.”

David caught her arms quickly. Noticing that Rita was becoming upset, he coaxed her gently, kissing her on her lips as he said, ”The doctor said it would be normal for you to feel weak. Just take it easy. Our baby girl is right here.”

David held the baby in his arms and lay down on the bed as well. However, he only occupied a little space, with one of his legs on the floor for support, fearing that he might accidentally put pressure on Rita's body. David adjusted his posture in order to let Rita touch the baby. He said in a gentle voice, smiling even deeper, ”Good girl, let's call your mommy.”

There was no way that the newborn baby could understand what David was talking about. Instead of calling Rita ”mommy,” which was impossible right now, the baby was shocked by his voice and burst out crying.

”Don't cry, baby. Don't...”

Upon hearing the baby's desperate crying, Rita panicked. She wiped the tears off the baby's face and coaxed her anxiously. However, the baby was crying even harder.

”Look how capable my baby is. Even her cries are louder than any other baby's cries.”

David wasn't worried at all. Instead, looking at his daughter who was wailing so loudly, he was even more thrilled and satisfied, and his eyebrows rose high as he smiled with a wide open mouth.
