A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 100 You Are Not Pregnant

The next day, Jacob did not show up at the company. Instead, he stayed back at the mansion and called the doctor who was supposed to see Emily yesterday.

Emily was just sitting quietly on the sofa, whilst eating biscuits and waiting for the doctor.

"How can you only eat so little?" Jacob's brows furrowed, as he got worried at how Emily only ate a few biscuits before putting them down.

"I am full," replied Emily, as she took a sip of the milk while Jacob leaned over towards her. She turned away shyly, since she still wasn't used to being intimate with Jacob. The perfume Jacob was wearing made her suspicious, so she finally turned back and asked,"What's that scent on you?

It smells so good."

As a matter of fact, she had noticed the scent a while ago, but she just held her tongue until now.

Jacob stood up and smelled his sleeves carefully. He detected a strange scent that was never on him before. Unconcerned by the unfamiliar scent, he still decided to change his clothes, because it was making Emily uncomfortable.

Emily, however, turned around again and pretended to be glum as she said,"I can still smell it on you. What perfume are you using?"

"How can you have such an acute sense of smell? Do you have a dog's nose?" Jacob teased and smiled with his low voice as he gently clasped her nose between his fingers. "I never use perfume. I guess it must be the smell of the laundry detergent. If you don't like it, I can change it right away," he said. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

'It could also be the scent of other women...' Emily did not dare to speak it out loud though. She only submissively nodded her head, and said,"Then you'd better leave me alone. I am not comfortable with

that scent on you."

"You..." Jacob pinched her nose again, assuming he knew why she was acting like that. Although he believed she was just making up an excuse, he still sat a little further away from her. "Spoiled girl," he mocked.

Emily pretended not to have heard his words. Instead, she ignored him and sat even further away.

Jacob was confused at what was going on.

Just as he was about to say something, Emily suddenly turned towards him, her face as pale as the moon and eyes wide open.

"Jacob, I... I am bleeding..."

Emily did not feel anything before, but when she was moving away from Jacob just then, she sensed that something was wrong. She ran her hands down her skirt and felt something viscous. When she pulled up and found that her hands were dyed red, she almost fainted.

Zola, who was standing aside, peeked at the scene. She acted as if she was frightened by what she saw, as she covered her eyes and screamed,"Blood! She is bleeding! Could it be the baby..."

"Shut your damn mouth!" yelled Jacob. Jacob was even more nervous than Emily and Zola. He felt like someone was squeezing his heart out. When he saw the blood in Emily's hand, nervousness and panic flashed in his eyes.

Without wasting another second, he swiftly picked Emily up and rushed outside.

Zola followed him and reminded him anxiously,"Mr. Jacob, the doctor is already on his way!"

Jacob was too frenzied by the urgency to listen to her. He screamed out and commanded his people to get the car ready,"Start up the car! Take us to the hospital right now! Hurry!"

Zola and other servants in the mansion were used to seeing their master as a calm and collected man; a man who wouldn't flinch even if they sky above him were collapsing.

However, today, Jacob had completely abandoned his composed etiquette and disposition in front of all the people.

Everyone could tell from this, just how important Emily was to Jacob.

"What are you looking at? Get back to your places!" Zola flared up for being ignored by Jacob. She dished it out the servants who were on the scene and darted looks of hatred at them.

The servants had long been accustomed to her bad temper. Looking at each other, they scattered in all directions within seconds. After all, Zola was the daughter of the nanny who looked after Jacob. With that kind of relation, she was certainly more superior than the rest of the servants.

Infuriated, Zola stomped her feet on the ground. However, she was finally at ease, both happy and satisfied at the thought of Emily's pale face.

'Hmm, Emily is about to lose her baby! How could someone like her bear the baby of my master in the first place! She does not deserve that honor!'

The car sped through the city traffic like a bullet train.

Inside the car, Jacob held onto Emily tightly, with a blank look on his face.

Emily looked frail and weak. Lips trembling, she asked,"Jacob, do you think anything will happen to our unborn child?"

"Don't be silly. You and our child will be just fine. We are close to the hospital now." Jacob felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He paused for a short moment and anxiously asked,"... where exactly in your body are you feeling discomfort?"

"My belly..."

Just as the words left her mouth, Jacob felt more nervous and held Emily tighter in his arms. He shouted at the driver,"Faster! Why the hell are we still so far away from the hospital! Step on the gas! Harder!"

All of a sudden the car drove even faster, as it whizzed through like an arrow. Within minutes, it reached the nearest hospital.

Jacob couldn't wait for the car to stop, as he carried Emily out of the car and ran into the emergency room with her. "Doctor!" he cried out.

Seeing the dreadful look on Jacob, made the doctors and nurses nervous as well. They thought Emily was dying. "Hurry up! Put the patient on the bed!" the doctor ordered.

After Jacob put her down on the bed, he still held on to her hand, but he was eventually asked to leave the emergency room by the doctor.

"Sir, it may not be appropriate for you to stay here. Do you mind leaving the room, please?" After successfully persuading him, one of the nurses then locked him out of the room.

Letting go of Emily's hand was one of the hardest things he had to do. He felt the emptiness not only in his hand, but also in his soul. He slowly clenched his fists, and somehow managed to keep his bleeding heart from pouring out. He waited outside, anxiously holding on to hope.

'Emily was bleeding, and the baby was...'

Jacob tried not to think of it as he leaned against a cold wall. He looked down, helplessly, concealing all his real emotions behind his long eyelashes.

For him, the wait, felt longer than usual.

He couldn't even tell how long he had been waiting. Finally, he heard a sound coming from the door as it opened from the inside.

The anticipation made Jacobs knees feel weak, as he stood there motionlessly. Fearing the worst, he was afraid to ask about the results.

However, all his feelings of horror disappeared in the blink of an eye, when he turned his sights to the door and saw Emily standing there.

His woman seemed... safe and sound?

Jacob's nerves gradually simmered down.

"Emily, are you..."

"I am fine." Emily's cheeks flushed as the paleness of her face vanished. "Jacob, actually I..." she muttered.

Emily was unintentionally interrupted by the doctor, who was just as nervous as Jacob earlier. "She just had her period. It's nothing serious, but remember to take good care of her," he kindly suggested.

Everyone assumed it was a matter of life and death, due to Jacob's urgency, but it was just her period. It wasn't something worth fussing over. 'Young people nowadays! Don't they feel ashamed of publicly displaying their affection for each other?'

Jacob carefully listened to every word of the doctor. He stared at Emily deeply and asked the question,"Emily, aren't you pregnant?"

Emily's eyes looked at the ground, nervously. Her voice was as frail as a strand of silk. "I don't know what is going on..." she replied.

When she had her body checked up that day, the results clearly stated that she was pregnant. How...how could she not be pregnant now!

"I wasn't lying! I swear to you!" Jacob did not express his emotions before Emily, which confused her even more.

Without a word, he took off his jacket and put it around Emily's waist so as to cover the red stain on her skirt. His eyes looked like a bottomless pit, deep and mysterious.
