Chapter 1086 Emilys Sickness (1/2)

The winter wind howled and bit at his frozen skin. His breath was pale against the numbing air, and he allowed the snow to patiently kiss his face. Even his eyes failed to conceal the look of concern from his face. With an entourage of guards behind him, Jacob marched to the hospital.

Emily finally woke up at two o'clock in the morning. When she fluttered her eyelids open and looked around the unfamiliar environment, it was Jacob's face that took her by surprise. A hint of nervousness came over her.

She was afraid that Jacob had found out about her pregnancy.

Almost in an instant, a flustered look appeared on her pale, colorless face. Frowning in puzzlement, she clenched her fingers under the cover. Apart from the pain in her stomach, Emily felt all right. It seemed that the baby was okay.

However, Emily didn't know what she would do if Jacob found out about the baby.

Jacob was sitting on a chair right next to her bed with a laptop on his lap. The way he was looking at the screen while his fingers tap danced on the keyboard gave Emily the impression that he was working on something important.

”Are you awake?”

While Emily's mind was wondering, Jacob closed his laptop and turned his face towards her. As his eyes fell upon her pale, colorless face, he frowned. ”How did you hurt your stomach?”

The blood on his hand when he had touched Emily's waist last night had frightened him and broken his heart.

When Emily heard him asking about her stomach and not the baby, she let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Emily knew Jacob very well. He could be just as cold and ruthless as he was nice. If he knew about the baby, he would have mentioned the baby right away.

Emily felt a lot better when Jacob asked about her stomach. She exhaled a deep sigh of relief before telling herself to work hard so she could return Jacob's favor and leave with her baby.

Emily kept calm and feigned normalcy. She didn't seem too bothered about the unfamiliar environment she was in. In any case, she was too tired to put up an act. ”It was an accident.”
