"Look at me!" Rose painfully tore clothes off to show her body, which was full of burn scars, and put her palms up as she knelt. "Aside from torturing, Jack aborted my baby boy!
He was almost a human being, Emily! He was about to be born! But Jack murdered him and I failed to protect him! And you know what happened? I won't be able to bear any children anymore because of that bastard!"
Rose looked as if she went to hell and back many times. She was different from what she used to be. All the pain had filled her body and she looked so scornful! As for Emily, she was still beautiful! She had Jacob who loved her so much and she also turned to be the Tao clan's biological daughter.
'Why some people are born lucky?
I worked hard for what I wanted! I did everything to get what I deserve! Why did fate mess it up?' Rose thought.
Her words hit Emily. Emily recalled that day when Jacob almost forced to abort her baby so she understood what the other woman had been through.
But that didn't mean she would let Rose off the hook so easily.
"What do you want from me? Let me go! Jacob might find me anytime soon!"
"Stop lying to me! You're alone!" Rose's face suddenly got twisted. Her voice dripped in venom, "If you're not going to help, I might as well get my revenge here and now!"
She pulled out a rusty fruit knife and stabbed Emily.
How could she be so stupid? Emily didn't notice that Rose had a hidden knife. Subconsciously, as retaliation, she managed to kick Rose out.
She knew she had to keep herself safe for the baby's sake.
Rose was dragged onto the ground. She had no intention of giving up. She clenched her fist as she wobbly stood up. "I hate you so much! You made my life miserable!"
Rose would do everything to have her revenge. She couldn't wait to release her wrath, starting with Emily.
She mustered all her strength and jumped on Emily. "Burn in hell, you bitch!"
She aimed for Emily's belly, causing the latter to panic. Emily took a few steps, causing her trip on a stone.
'What should I do now? No! My baby' Emily's panicked thought rang inside her head.
Emily didn't expect that someone caught her body on time. A pair of warm arms shielded her from the impact.
Rose's knife managed to pass through Jacob and gave him a scratch.
"Is that it?" Jacob took a deep breath. All of a sudden, he gave Rose a hard kick on the stomach!
"Ugh!" Rose groaned as her back hit a telephone pole before going to the ground. She coughed out blood and the knife got lost from her grip. She couldn't even mutter a single word.
"Jacob!" Emily looked up and saw Jacob's face. She felt worried as she saw his wound, "How are you feeling right now?"
He didn't answer her. He wrapped his arms around Emily and approached Rose. He glared at her coldly, "Touch her and you're going to be dead."
Emily didn't spare a single glance at Rose. She looked up at Jacob, "Let's go to a hospital. The knife is rusty and dirty. You must get an infection."
