Chapter 1148 The Constant Nightmare (2/2)

Unfortunately, Jacob knew well that he wouldn't be able to enjoy his downtime until his wife and children's safety were assured.

Meanwhile, Emily's hand froze in mid-air and she stopped chewing the food in her mouth after hearing what David had said. Neither man knew she had over

on her head. Then, slowly, he let go of her hand with great patience. ”Emily, I am not going to let you leave me again. Not now, not ever. I will try my best to keep you safe. You just need to stay by my side, that's all!”

With his words of assurance, Emily finally felt safe. In his warm embrace, there was nothing she needed to be afraid of. Without a doubt, she would follow Jacob to the ends of the earth and a bad dream was not going to scare her off so easily.

Eventually, Emily's body became less tense. As long as Jacob was with her, she couldn't ask for anything more.

In less than an hour, Emily fell asleep again. Jacob stared at her for a while before he tucked her in and walked over to the balcony to make a phone call.

Soon, someone answered the call on the other end.

”Are you sure it's normal for pregnant women to have nightmares often?” Judging by his tone, it seemed as if he was going to tear the person on the other end apart for saying something wrong.

The gynecologist Jacob was speaking to was fast asleep. Generally, she wouldn't take any calls in the middle of the night, but she didn't dare to ignore Jacob's call. ”Mr. Jacob, most women go through some sort of mental stress during their pregnancy. It's normal for them to often have bad dreams. Tomorrow, I will prescribe some medicines to help her with sleep. Do not worry.”

She waited quietly for Jacob's response. A few seconds later, Jacob simply made a sound to show his acknowledgement before he hung up.

When the doctor was sure that the line was disconnected, she finally heaved a deep sigh of relief.
