A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jack was certain, as he had never had sex with Emily from the beginning of their relationship until the bitter end. There was no
way that he could have been the child's father!
At first, Jack was being skeptical, because he did not want to accept the truth. Never in a million years, could he have imagined
Emily to be pregnant with Jacob's child!
The fact that Jack was both worried and angry at the same time was irrefutable.
"Make an appointment for the abortion right away and get rid of it."
Jack's words were like a bomb that blew up in everyone's ear.
Emily had not completely recovered from the news of her pregnancy just yet, as she asked Jack, with eyes wide open,"Jack,
who do you think you are? Who are you to make such decisions for me?"
'Just because I am not the father!'
Jack had completely lost control over his emotions. He overstepped his boundaries, forgetting the fact that they had already
broken up.
"You must get an abortion."
"That decision is not yours to make!"
The doctor was shocked by their conversation. Looking at them again and again, she advised,"You have to think this through.
We're talking about a small life after all..."
"Emily, you must listen to me today!"
Jack's tone was very firm and assertive.
"Jack, let me make this clear to you."
Discontented, Emily snapped, as she screamed at Jack,"You are not a part of my life anymore! You don't get to make such
decisions for me!"
"Oh, really?"

Jack laughed, sardonically, then said,"So, what? I don't mind if you hate me a little more!"
Immediately, he grabbed hold of Emily's arm and dragged her outside.
"Now prepare the operating room right away. I will take responsibility for the consequences."
Terrified, Emily struggled frantically,"Go away! Jack, you bastard! Do not touch me!"
Rita quickly went up to help, but Rose was indifferent, from beginning to end. She was enjoying the drama from the audience's
seat.
She wanted to see if Emily could keep her bastard!
Much to her surprise, Emily actually hooked up with Jacob. When Rose heard about it from Jack, she still had her doubts, but
now, all her past doubts had been dispelled by Emily's pregnancy. That little bitch was so lucky!
Rose's undying jealousy would never let Emily lead a better life than her!
Drunk with anger, Jack's adrenaline rush had doubled his strength, as he forced Emily to do the operation with unflinching
determination. Even Rita couldn't hold him down.
The fear in Emily's heart prevailed. However, she was determined not to let Jack near her child, let alone hurt it.
Having run out of options, she somehow managed to take out a paper knife from her bag, and jammed it in Jack's arm out of
desperation!
"Aaahhh......"
Jack did not see it coming. He didn't have time to prepare for such a surprise attack. Blood gushed out of his wound and dripped
down his fingers. He had to let go of Emily because of the sudden and sharp pain.
Once Emily regained her freedom, she took a few steps back. There was hatred in her eyes; she maintained constant vigilance.
"Oh no! Jack, you are bleeding!"
Rose screamed and rushed to Jack, nervously shouting at the doctor standing next to him,"Quick, do something!"

Jack looked down his arm, as the blood trickled through his fingers and dripped on the floor. He was able to endure the cut, but
the pain was starting to get intolerable.
"Emily, I am bleeding."
Jack muttered. The anger he seemed to be harbouring earlier had been extinguished by cold water.
Emily watched in awe as they patched up Jack's arm with gauzes. She quickly regained her fierceness as she taunted
him,"You... You deserve this."
Jack's eyes met with hers. Emily's eyes were filled with so much anger and resentment against him that he could feel them
pierce through his soul. Emily's once loving, warm smile, which only belonged to him, was no longer his to possess.
She stabbed him with a knife for the unborn baby, and he wasn't even the father of that bastard...
Jack had so much hatred in his heart that it almost poisoned him from within, but somehow he managed to keep a calm
composure. However, he felt like he was going to suffocate under pressure.
Rose's face looked distressed. She glared at Emily, condemning her,"Emily, how could you do this to Jack?"
The paper knife was still in Emily's hand, as it gave her a sense of security. "I won't attack others unless I am attacked first!"
Emily have stabbed Jack's arm once, but he had stabbed her heart countless times!
Rose quietly glanced at Jack, who was expressionless, and continued,"In fact, Jack was only doing it for your own good. You
couldn't appreciate his generosity so you stabbed him..."
"For my own good?" Emily sneered,"Why didn't he ask you to abort your child?"
If you promise to get an abortion, I will do it too!"
"Okay."
Jack did not wait for Rose to answer. He promised immediately.
Rose's face instantly went pale. She exclaimed,"No, Jack..."

The child in her belly was her most precious trump card. How could she abandon it! 'Damn that Emily! How dare she to get me
involved in this!'
"This is your child. It's your own flesh and blood, Jack. Don't..."
Rose begged to Jack.
Emily was shocked and repulsed by Jack. She did not expect him to say yes. "Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. Jack, you
are no better than a wild animal!"
"Will you do it or not?"
"That's for me to decide. I don't need you to make that decision for me! Most importantly, the child is innocent. Whether to keep it
or not, you should respect a mother's will!" asserted Emily.
The last sentence was for Rose, not because of how good and kind Emily was, but because she didn't want Rose to pay for
something she had said in anger.
The doctor had finished dressing Jack's wound. Jack locked his foul gaze on Emily's face, as he licked his lips, and sat there
speechlessly.
Rita was stunned by Emily's display of bravery. She was always under the impression that Emily was a fragile person, but seeing
Emily act like a wolf defending her cub, changed her perspective drastically.
Perhaps it was maternal instinct that gave her strength?
"Emily, put down the knife. It's okay. You're safe now..."
Rita gently urged Emily and approached her cautiously.
Having perceived the worries and concerns of her friend, Emily let out a smile that was almost invisible. "I need to protect
myself."
Emily looked at Jack again and yelled,"I will never give you the chance to hurt me again!"
Jack's heart shrank, as if stabbed by her words. He muttered,"Emily...

"If you want to call the police, do it now. Otherwise, I am going to leave."
Emily put the knife away and pulled herself together. She pretended to keep a level head, as she walked out of the room.
Jack did not try to stop her, and no one else dared to say a word.
Soon, Emily walked out and left the hospital with Rita.
As soon as they were out, Emily ran to the side of the road and hailed a taxi. After getting on the car, Rita saw that Emily's palms
were sweaty and her face had turned pale.
"Emily, are you feeling uncomfortable? Do we need to go to another hospital to have a check?"
"I'm fine; just need to rest."
Emily breathed a long sigh of relief and recalled the events from the hospital. She was surprised at her own behavior and
audacity.
"Don't ever do something like that again. It's so dangerous. You could have hurt yourself."
"I know. I'm sorry if I frightened you. I wasn't thinking clearly at the time..."
Emily's nerves slowly calmed down. "In fact, I am still a little frightened right now."
