A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily just arrived home and barely opened the door when Beryl rushed out from inside, throwing herself directly into Emily's arms.

"Mommy, I missed you so much... "

Emily picked her up and kissed her on the cheek, "Mommy missed you too. Were you a good girl today?"

"Yes, I was! You can even ask Zoe if you want," the look on Beryl's face was expectant, as if she was thirsty for praise from her mother.

Zoe was the baby-sitter that Emily hired. She was very diligent and honest, and most importantly she could speak English, so she could communicate with Beryl in English.

Zoe heard Beryl so she laughed and said, "Yes, Beryl was a good girl today."

Emily's eyes were filled with joy. She kissed Beryl on the head and praised her, "Such a sweet and good girl!"

Beryl's eyes twinkled and said," Yes, mommy, I'm always a good girl."

"Yes, you're mommy's good girl," Emily cooed. Beryl was a bit on the smaller and lighter side compared to other kids her age. Whenever Emily looked at Beryl, her heart just glowed, overflowed with tenderness.

Emily experienced some difficulty when she gave birth to Beryl. She actually fell into a coma and had to stay at the ICU for three months after just barely escaping death. Beryl also was in an incubator for two months after she was born.

When Emily first saw Beryl, she was unable to control her tears. She had gone through so much to keep this child that it was almost like she was fighting fate itself.

The doctors that Jacob hired for her were profession but they all suggested that they give the baby up for the sake of her health and while Sean was skilled himself too, any move they made could've been harmful for her.

The slightest mistake might have killed her and the baby.

Luckily enough, they were able to fight against all odds. After all, the only thing they have in this world is one another.
