A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily found herself standing when she felt someone grabbing her.

Jacob took her and tied her down onto the bed. There were several medical staff in white who looked at her with no trace of expression. There were also many medical equipment around her.

"No! Don't touch me!" she screamed, "Don't take away my baby!"

Everything suddenly went black. Jacob, the doctors, the bed, they all disappeared!

Then it quickly shifted to another scene where she saw a crying Rose.

"No. Please! Not my baby!" Rose sobbed, her body on the ground, clutching her belly.

Emily felt pity and worry but it was replaced with horror when Rose's expression changed. She cackled like an insane person, "Oh, Emily, I didn't expect, of all people, that you will be experiencing the same pain I went through... I couldn't do anything to save my precious child. Probably they're taking your baby away. We're just the same, after all. Powerless to protect our own flesh and blood! How does it feel, Emily? Does it feel good?" Then Rose kept laughing and laughing until it faded.

"No, don't do that to my child!" Emily's eyes flung open. Emily felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She bit her lip in pain, "M-My baby...It hurts so much..."

"What's happening to her? Why is she in pain?" Jacob asked with nervous voice.

"Perhaps she was frightened. Everything will be fine quickly as long as she feels safe both physically and mentally..." The doctor beside Emily quickly took medical measures to make sure she was fine. He injected some medicine to relieve the pain.

Jacob frowned, "What else should I keep watch on? Have you already written it on the paper?"

"Yes, Mr. Gu. If there is anything abnormal with Ms. Emily, please inform us."

"Understood. You may take your leave."

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

After necessary measures were taken, the medical staff went out quietly and waited outside so they could come immediately once an emergency arised.

Jacob lowered his head and looked at Emily kindly who was still half-conscious, "How are you feeling? You should rest more."
