A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Rita only knew that there was something wrong with Emily's unborn baby, but she had no idea how serious it was. Emily was almost certain that if Rita knew the truth, she would advise her to abort the baby just as Jacob did.

Since, the risk of harm from keeping the baby was relatively high, anyone who really cared for her and wanted her to live could never allow her to risk her life for the unborn baby.

However, since her hopes of being with Jacob and living with him had died, all she had left in the world was her own baby. So even at the face of imminent risk, Emily would make every effort to protect and deliver the baby.

Determined, Emily's resolve was stronger than ever.

Thanks to David, Emily didn't have to wait in line. She just registered her name and then proceeded with the check-up.

Rita's company throughout the whole check-up made Emily more uneasy, but she couldn't think of the right excuse to send her away.

All of a sudden, Rita's phone rang. It was David.

"Hello? Rita, Dylan has been crying the whole time. I have no idea how to comfort him..." said David, with a sense of urgency in his voice, accompanied by the crying of a baby in the background.

Rita frowned and asked, "What's the matter with him? Maybe he is hungry? Or he is not feeling well?"

"I can't tell. I've tried giving him some food but he doesn't want to eat. I've touched his forehead and he doesn't feel feverish," he answered.

"Then why don't you pacify him?" she said.

"I just don't know how, and that's why I called to ask you," he replied. Needless to say, David was at a loss, and he had no idea what was wrong with Dylan or why he had been crying for so long.

"I am here in the hospital with Emily. Just try your best to comfort him, or else send him here to the hospital if it doesn't work," she suggested. Rita then hung up the phone, but she could not discard the look of worry on her face.
