A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob was fuming as he glared at her, and his hands were clenched into fists. He was gritting his teeth as he spoke, "Emily, do you really think of me that way?"

Emily just looked at him dazed. Her eyes were getting misty as she began to speak, "I... I'm not..."

Jacob took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out.

Instinctively, Emily reached out to grab his hands but he was already way too far. "Jacob..." she cried out.

Jacob just continued walking as if he didn't hear her until he had finally left the room.

He'd never felt so awful because he couldn't believe that Emily thought of him that way. She didn't trust him and accused him of being so cruel that he would do something like that against her child.

The whole thing left a bad taste in his mouth and left him miserable.

In reality, Jacob immediately regretted slapping Emily. He knew she was pregnant and was suffering from some mood swings. But either way, he shouldn't have done that.

Jacob chose to leave first so that they could both calm down. If he stayed, they might've just said hurtful and mean things to one another due to their emotions.

Jacob stood outside, he fished out a cigarette and lit it up. The cold wind was blowing which helped cool his head down. After a few minutes, he took a few drags before putting his cigarette out and walking back to the ward. When he opened the door, he saw Emily standing by the windowsill.

The window was open, and the wind was blowing. It was freezing cold. Emily stood with her back to him, looking thin and weak, and her loose clothing was dancing along with the wind.

Emily was a delicate woman. If she fell off the windowsill, she would fall to her death because they were on the tenth floor.

Jacob's heart started beating rapidly out of fear. He dashed towards her and grabbed her in his arms. "Emily! What are you doing? Are you crazy?" he shouted.
