A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 83 The Child Could Only Be Mine

If Jack really wanted to force Emily to get rid of her child, there were many ways he could have accomplished it. Even if Rita was there, she wouldn't have been able to stop him.

Fortunately, that's not how things went down at the hospital.

However, Jack's eagerness of depriving a child from its mother was still unforgivable for Emily.

Rita couldn't hold back her anger, as she held Emily's sweaty hands and asked,"How do you even know such a scum!"

"Don't worry. I will be able to take care of myself in the future."

Emily's held Rita's other hand, and comforted her as well as persuading herself. Emily declared,"I am not as stupid as I was before."

She would never forget what Jack had done to her. She vowed to slowly make him pay for his actions!

Rita sighed slightly,"What are you going to do now? About the child in your belly..."

"I do not know either." Emily's brows furrowed, as she got worried about the child. She had already known who the father was. Jacob was her only man and he must have been the father. The problem at the moment was what she was to do about the baby.

"You should think about it carefully, by yourself."

What Rita said, made a lot of sense to Emily. However, after Rita spoke, she couldn't help thinking how Emily had said the same thing to her, so she laughed out loud bitterly.

Rita had already found a place to live in, so after they ate together, they parted ways.

In the evening, Emily lay on the big bed, unconsciously stroking her flat stomach. Her thoughts were scattered all over the place.

Was there really a baby in there?

Why did it feel so unreal?

She... Should she give birth to it?

Emily rolled around her bed, unable to sleep. After a long consideration, she took out her mobile phone and dialled Jacob's number.

She didn't know why, but sometimes, that man could give her a strong sense of security...

Moreover, since Jacob was the father of the child, she felt like he had the right to know, so that they could figure out how to deal with the situation together.

However, Jacob wasn't answering his phone. Emily soon realized that it was already very late. When she decided to hang up, she was greeted by a man's lazy voice on the phone. "Hello?"

Perhaps it was the atmosphere of the night, but Emily found it hard to resist Jacob's sexy voice, as she swallowed. "Are you asleep?"

"Not anymore."

"I am sorry. I……"

Emily sounded nervous on the phone. She couldn't bring herself to mention her pregnancy so she said,"Then get some rest."

"So you've called me to wake me up, just so you could tell me to fall asleep again?"

"No..."

"Or is it because...you've missed me?"

"No I didn't!"

Jacob smiled and asked,"Then why did you call me?"

Jacob understood Emily very well. She wouldn't have called him if something had happened, and she certainly wouldn't have called him if nothing had happened.

"I……"

Emily paused for a moment to take a deep breath. Jacob listened carefully, waiting quietly for her to continue.

"I'm pregnant."

Although Emily's tone was soft, it felt like someone had dropped a bomb in Jacob's ear.

Emily waited for a while, and when she did not hear a response from him, her heart sank.

Did she do the right thing by telling him?

Why wasn't he saying anything? After all, this was big news.

Emily simply hung up the phone impatiently and hid herself inside the quilt out of sadness.

Ten minutes later, her cell phone rang again. As soon as she answered the phone, she heard a man's voice coming from her phone,"Open the door."

"What?"

Emily was slow to react,"What did you just say?"

"I am at your doorstep now,"

Jacob patiently explained.

Finally Emily had learned to be smarter after what had happened before. Not only did she change the lock, she also stopped hiding the spare key under the flower pot. That was why Jacob needed her help opening her apartment's door.

"WHAT!"

Emily almost fell out of her bed in shock. "You, you... What are you doing here at this hour?"

Jacob did not answer; he started banging on the door.

Emily hung up the phone, put on her pink slippers and rushed to open the door. Once she opened the door, the man walked straight into her room. With a pair of deep, dark eyes he looked at her and asked,"Emily, are you really pregnant?"

Emily looked at him and nodded. "Yes."

The next second, Jacob lifted her above the ground. It seemed like he was measuring her weight. Then he gently sat her on the sofa.

"Sure enough. You seem heavier."

Emily,"..."

So, this man came over, just to know if she was heavier?

"Don't you have something to ask me?"

Jacob looked up at her,"What should I ask?"

"For starters, is the child yours..."

"The child could only be mine."

Jacob's voice was determined and assertive, as he kneeled on the ground. Looking at Emily's belly, his eyes softened. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

As a matter of fact, ever since he had heard the news on the phone, his heart had been pacing around like a cheetah. The only thought in his mind was that he needed to see Emily right away.

Until now, the upsurge in his heart hadn't calmed down.

"Wait."

Emily pushed him away, walked into the bedroom to get the report and handed it to Jacob. "Look at it, then we will discuss what to do next."

Jacob took it and read the report carefully. He looked at Emily and asked,"What do you want to do?"

"I do not know."

Emily just told him the truth.

Earlier in the hospital, when Jack wanted her to get an abortion, she was totally against it. Now that it was safe, she didn't know what to do about it.

What should she do with the child?

"Bring it to the world."

Jacob asserted his wish firmly.

"But……"

Emily was hesitant. She was not ready to be a mother...

Jacob turned her face towards his and gazed into her eyes as he assured,"I will be responsible for you and the child. This child needs to come to this world. You can't deprive it of its right to live. It will have a father and a mother. It will have everything a child could ever wish for. It will be the happiest child in the whole world."

Satisfied, Emily was pleasantly moved by his words. Every child had the right to be born into the world. Even if she was not with Jacob, she would still love the child unconditionally.

If Jacob wished to marry someone else, Emily would raise the child on her own. After all, it was her own flesh and blood, and abandoning it was absolutely out of the question...

"Well, I've decided to keep it." Emily finally came to a decision, as her eyes sparkled with joy.

Jacob couldn't hold back his excitement. He somehow suppressed his urge to pull her into his arms in case his sudden embrace would startle Emily. He said to her, softly,"May I touch it?"

"Touch?"

He'd just be touching her belly!

Emily's was a little shy, but she finally agreed,"Well... Just once."

Overcome with joy, Jacob gently put his hand on her belly. It felt so soft that he couldn't fight his compulsion to tickle her.

Emily giggled and slapped his hand away. "What are you doing..."
