A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 283

Emily's jaw dropped when she had heard what the doctor just told Jacob regarding her and the baby's condition.

Her baby, her bundle of joy, her own flesh and blood. There was something wrong with her baby.

Inside the doctor's office, Jacob was also stunned by the unexpected news. Then he suddenly felt there were eyes staring at him. "Emily," he spoke as he turned around and saw her pale face outside the door.

Before he could complete his sentence, she just didn't say a word and turned away suddenly.

Jacob took long strides in order to catch up with her, "Emily, what's wrong?"

Jacob managed to grab Emily's arm and twirled her towards him. Then he wrapped his arms around her. She began to sob, "I heard everything... I heard everything! Why did you lie to me?" She pushed him away, glaring at him in disappointment.

She kinda hoped there was something wrong with her ears and she just misheard the whole thing.

Jacob could only hug her tighter, unable to say anything.

Jacob's silence only confirm Emily's suspicions. It was all clear now. Tears flowed from her eyes to her cheeks, "But why? I don't believe it..."

"Emily, please listen to me. I am more concerned regarding your condition..."

But Emily coldly interrupted him, "Cut the crap! Just get straight to the point! You wanted to find a way to abort it, right?"

Jacob sighed, holding her shoulders, "Emily..."

"No. I won't give up! I'll have this child no matter what!" She struggled to break away from his arms. When she finally broke free, she wiped her tears away roughly.

Jacob held her cold hands and said softly, "Babe, I wasn't forcing you to abort the baby. All I wanted is to see you healthy. With regards to the child, we still have to consult the doctor. Maybe there's a way to save your baby."

Emily was managed to be convinced somehow. She felt that she just overreacted with regards to the situation. She bit her lips with a small glimmer of hope, "Is it true? You mean it?"

"Won't it be best if we go to the doctor's office together so we could find out?" said Jacob, offering his hand to her. When Emily clasped her hand around his, they walked together to the doctor's office.

"Well, Doctor, is there any way to cure her condition?"

The doctor sighed in defeat, shaking his head. "There is. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that it will be 100% effective. Ms. Bai and the fetus are both in a serious condition. The signs may not be obvious now, but it will be dangerous for the both of them if left untreated for too long."

"Doctor, you have to do anything you can in your power! I will do anything to keep this child!" Emily was already pleading.

Jacob couldn't bear to see her like this. He appealed to the doctor, "Doctor, please do everything to save Emily and the child."

The doctor assured her, "Don't worry, Ms. Bai, Mr. Gu. We will do our best."

On that day, Emily was admitted to the VIP ward of the hospital and Jacob made sure she got the best medical care she could get. He even hired international experts to keep her condition in check.

Despite their efforts, the medicines didn't work on Emily and she grew paler and paler.

Jacob was getting more concerned now but he didn't dare even just mention aborting the child, for her sake. He knew it would broke her heart.

Emily experienced loss so many times. She might look strong on the outside but she was actually fragile. He didn't want to lose his last glimmer of hope. He didn't want to take away the source of her happiness.

When Emily fell asleep, the doctor called for Jacob again.
