A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 286 What Does It Mean

The following day, Emily's unborn baby underwent a parental test. The hospital made it confidential.

It took a long time to get the results. The tension in the room was so thick that one can cut it with a spoon.

Emily and Jacob sat at bench in the hospital courtyard. Both of them were nervous and were anticipating the results. They held each other's hand as their hearts thumped in suspense.

Jacob noticed that her hand went icy. He let go of her hand to wrap an arm around her shoulder, "It's going to take a while. Is it okay with you if I take you back home so you can have some rest?"

Emily shook her head, "No need. I'll be waiting for the results to come out. This is very important to me and to us, Jacob."

Jacob was still trying to convince her that no matter what the results would be, nothing could change his mind. He couldn't find the right words to say at the woman in front of him except, "Very well then. I'll wait with you."

He felt suddenly lost. Was it right of him to make that promise to Emily?

No matter what the result would be, she was firm in keeping the baby. He felt guilty and his mind flashed back at the times Emily begged not to abort her baby.

After what seemed to feel like an eternity, the laboratory finally opened.

The doctor with the mask took out a file and handed it to the couple. "Mr. Gu, Ms. Bai, here is the result of the test."

The said document was already in front of Emily but she didn't take it.

Jacob decided to help himself and took the folder from the doctor. He gave a quick scan and nobody could tell what he was thinking.

As for Emily, she felt more tense as she watched Jacob. Every movement of his eyes as he scanned the document made her clasp her hands together like a prayer. "W-Well?" she asked.

He looked up from the file, closed it, and turned to her with a gentle smile, "Good news, Emily. It's mine."

Emily took out a sigh of relief but there was still this shadow of doubt in her chest. She had a hunch that there was still that small possibility that it wasn't Jacob's. "Can I have a look?"

Then she stretched out her arm to reach for the folder.
