A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 353 I Don't Need Your Being Kind

Jacob didn't have the heart to refuse Beryl's face glowing with such eagerness. How could he turn down such an adorable face? He almost agreed to take her away, but in the end, good sense prevailed, and he stopped himself from giving in.

"No, I can't," said Jacob, as he shook his head with disappointment.

Beryl's lower lip protruded in a sulky pout. As she stood there, hands crossed, feeling discontented.

Knowing that she was not in good health, Jacob couldn't take the chance of taking her out and risking her life. "Would you like me to take you out to eat next time?" he asked.

"No, I want to eat right now," she demanded. Beryl had a feeling Jacob would satisfy her wishes just as long as she pressured him.

Jacob had to coax her, "Honey, don't be like that."

Beryl rolled her eyes at him and looked the other way. Suddenly, she frowned with a melodramatic flourish and said, "My stomach hurts, my head hurts. It hurts everywhere. I'll feel better if I can eat another strawberry cake..."

Jacob was at a loss. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her actions. "Don't be naughty," he said.

"It really hurts..." Beryl's little face reddened, and she looked up at Jacob piteously.

Although Jacob knew that she was just pretending, he couldn't help worrying about her. He walked over and picked her up in his arms. "What's wrong? How bad does it hurt?" asked Jacob.

Soon after, the voice of an anxious woman graced them from behind. "Beryl!"

Jacob turned around curiously and saw Emily rushing over towards them. She quickly walked up to Jacob and took Beryl from his arms. Her face was riddled with worry.
