Chapter 1161 Emilys Sickness (1/2)

”If you have time, please come over and visit me! I am so bored at home! I feel like I am going to die of boredom!” Emily whined over the phone.

”Okay. After I pick up the kids tomorrow, I will head to your house!” Rita was putting on a facial cream while she was on a video chat with Emily. She kept looking back and forth between the mirror and the phone. ”It seems that we both don't have much to do. Because your husband wants to fulfill your dream as soon as possible, my husband has to work late and help him.”

Emily smiled slyly. She rested her jaw on both of her hands. Her eyes twinkled irresistibly whenever people mentioned her husband. ”I guess I need to appreciate Williams then.”

Emily successfully made Rita laugh. Rita's joyful smile curved up to narrow her eyes in happiness. ”Don't be. Let him be. I've already talked to my son. He's agreed to marry into your family when he is old enough.”

”Ha-ha. With a father-in-law like my husband, you son is going to have the life everyone dreams of!” Emily teased, holding her phone in her hands. Rita rolled her eyes at her and didn't respond. Suddenly, Emily's tone of speaking became resolute. She had a serious look now. ”Rita, I've been having nightmares again lately. Every time I wake up, I am covered in cold sweat.”

”Again?” Upon hearing that, Rita put down her cream and picked up the phone. After she looked closer at Emily's face on the screen, she continued, ”You certainly don't look good. Have you talked to Jacob about it?”

”He is too busy. He goes to bed right away when he comes home every day. Work has been exhausting him lately.”

Rita frowned. She sat cross-legged on her bed as she scolded, ”You can't hide it from him! You have to tell him about it. If he was there for you more often, you might feel better!”

Emily shook her head. Hugging the pillow, she sighed. ”You are not here to see how tired he is every night when he comes home. I don't want to put more pressure on him. With time, I'm sure that this problem will clear up, and I'd rather wait for a while. It might not be as bad as I think.”

”That might be true. I will go to the hospital with you to get a check up on it soon.”

They chatted on the phone for a while longer. Emily didn't know when she fell asleep. However, as she had come to expect, she had another nightmare that night. This nightmare was not so different from the other ones. She felt like she was suffocating again. The fear that was unsettling her had started to increase inside her. However, she seemed to have become familiar with it now. Her body seemed to sink into a deep sea.
