Chapter 266 Stay Vigilant!

Since Emily knew that she was pregnant, she had been watching over her condition, especially her
food and medicine. She couldn't completely trust the doctor sent by Jacob.

Meanwhile, she secretly plotted how she would get away.

Jacob couldn't bear that she kept her guard up around him. But he also knew what she was really
worried about, which made him feel more sad.

"Do you really think I am such a despicable person who would poison your food?"

Emily ate carefully when she heard Jacob's query. She was surprised to hear that and she stopped for
a moment. She answered, "I'm just being vigilant. For now, I can't trust anyone but myself."

Jacob's eyebrows knitted together, "I don't need to poison your food even if I am intend to abort the
baby. Instead, I hope you can eat more so that you can recover quickly after the abortion."

Upon hearing this, Emily suddenly lost her appetite. She put down her utensil and spoke up, "Forget it!
I'll never let you abort my baby!"

Then she stood up and left the table for upstairs.

Jacob hit his fist on the table, causing the table to wobble and the utensils to clatter.

There was little time left and he must take action.

He thought that Jack would be the biggest obstacle between them. But now, it seemed that the unborn
child took Jack's place.

He didn't know how much this unborn child meant to her. But he clearly understood that the longer he
waited, the more Emily would get attached to the child. By that time, it was no longer good for both of



them.

It was better than to get hurt now than to get more hurt in the long run.

Maybe.

It was a sunny day, and Emily went to the garden to enjoy the warm sunshine.

After her got pregnant, Emily chose not to shut herself out. Instead, she often went out for a walk,
which helped her relax and distract her from their problems.

The sunshine was so warm, as if it was lighting up all the darkness in the world.

Sitting on the big rocking chair, Emily gradually fell asleep.

She was covered in the sunshine, basking its warmth. She looked so angelic and pure as she snoozed.

Jacob didn't expect that he would see such a beautiful sight as he stepped into the garden.

He stepped forward and walked towards Emily silently so he wouldn't wake her up. He lowered his
head to study her features.

It would be good if the time could stand still in this moment.

At this moment, everything was quiet and peaceful.

He couldn't help but sigh slightly, hoping that was the case.

The time bomb between them would not be removed as long as the unborn child was there.

He bent down to lift Emily up and sent her back to her room. He gently put her down on the bed then
left.



Emily had always been a shallow sleeper. She woke up after a few minutes and was confused to find
herself lying on the bed.

Hadn't she enjoyed the sunshine in the garden downstairs?

'Did Jacob bring me to the bed?' she mused.

She felt mixed emotions swirling in her chest. She got up from the bed and put on her slippers. When
she went to the doorway, she suddenly heard a voice which was deliberately lowered down.

She pressed her ear on the door since she simply couldn't help herself but eavesdrop at the
conversation.

"Miss Bai is in good physical condition. I am sure she will quickly recover if I carry out the abortion for
her now. But, Mr. Gu, I would like to confirm. Have you really decided?" The voice came to Emily's
ears. It was clearly the doctor's voice.

Jacob paused for a while and then said, "Do the operation now."

The doctor didn't probe any further so as to avoid trouble. It was best not to pry into the affairs of rich
and powerful families, but only do what the client said.

Emily's eyes widened in shock when she heard the conversation between Jacob and the doctor.

How dare he decide to abort her baby now?

She winced and her steps alarmed two people who weren't far in the corridor.

"Emily..." Jacob felt his heart sank. He knew she heard the conversation so he tried to go after her.

"What do you want? Don't come near me!" Emily glared at Jacob. She kept backing away and the fear
on her face was apparent.



"It's alright. Don't be afraid..." Jacob lowered his voice and tried to approach her slowly, "Everything will
be fine soon. You won't feel any pain. And I will stay right here with you..."

"No! I won't let you abort my baby! You cannot decide that for me!" Emily stood with her back against
the window and there was no other way out for her.

Jacob's voice was soft, as if coaxing her. "That baby is a mistake. If you want a baby, I am sure we will
have as many babies as you like in the future. Is that alright? If you want a daughter, we will have one.
And if you want a son, then we can also have one. I promise you that I will treat our children as the
apples of my eye..."

"No! This is different!" Emily shook her head angrily. Her eyes were red, "Nothing can replace the baby!
If I abort the baby, he would disappear completely. It's impossible for me to have another baby who is
exactly like it. Do you understand?"

"Emily, listen to me. It is not a baby yet. It's still just an embryo, a small clump of cells..."

"Whatever! It is my baby. It is my flesh and blood... Jacob, it might be your child. It's possible, right?
What if it is yours?"

"No." He answered coldly, "It is not my child."

The hope in Emily's eyes disappeared. She pleaded, "Jacob, please don't do this my baby. It's
innocent. I beg you. Please..." She was crying and begging for his mercy.

Her begging didn't work. Instead, it roused Jacob's anger.

He was jealous of the unborn child. She cared about it so much and was protective of it. It made him
restless and resentful.



"You must give up this unborn baby. Emily, you should take my advice."

As Jacob stepped closer, Emily was getting more afraid. As an act of desperation, she directly climbed
up the windowsill. "Don't come closer or I swear I will jump down!"

A flash of nervousness and panic reflected in Jacob's eyes, "Emily, calm down. If you jump, the child
will die. Is that really what you want?"

"I have no choice. I really don't know what I should do..." Emily cried, "I'd rather die together with my
child..."

Jacob was astonished at what she said. He didn't care about this unidentified child, but he did care
about her safety.

Could he bear to see her dead together with her child?

Her threat had successfully struck his weakness.
