But, Elder Roberts did visit once during this time.

The grandfather and grandson chatted happily when they saw each other.

“I’ve already heard about your matter through the news. You’re not to blame, of course.” The traditional-clothed old man sat down and waved his hand, “Back in the days, I was also sick of all the scheming and deception, that’s why I handed my business over to Eric. The rascal likes dealing with stuff like that.”

“Grandfather, do you watch sci-fi films?”

“Oh, you haven’t given up yet?” the old man was a little stunned by Emma’s willpower. “I thought you’d give up after Qiao Sen’s death.”

“The domestic market is currently lacking in well produced sci-fi films. I hope I can fill this void and create a masterpiece.”

Elder Roberts scanned his eyes across Emma and eventually placed his eyes on her stomach, “You are currently pregnant, so you shouldn’t put too much p**ssure on yourself. But, since you’re so determined, grandfather will definitely help you. Let me see if I can find any talented people in this field.”

“OK,” Emma nodded.

“Now that I think about it, you’re quite right. There are so many companies overseas that have pulled further and further away from us. If no one does something about it, how humiliating would it be?”

After taking another glance at Emma, the old man left in an unrestrained manner.

It seemed, he would always be cool like that.

Emma smiled, when suddenly, her head felt heavy, her heartbeat increased and her ears began to ring…A moment later, she fainted.

…

Eric was still in the middle of a meeting when he received a phone call from Chester. Seeing her name appear on the caller ID, he immediately stopped the meeting and left the office.

No one could ever cut in when Eric was doing something. Emma was the only exception because she was always his main priority.

On the phone, Chester was calling to tell him that Emma had fainted.

Eric immediately ended the meeting and drove to the hospital.

“How is she?”

“She’s not in any danger,” Chester replied.

“What happened? Is something wrong with Emma’s body?”

“It appears to be gestational hypertension. This is the first time she’s experienced this,” Chester replied. “This can be both serious and light-hearted. If it’s serious…mother and child can die together.”

“How do we fix it?” Eric furrowed his brows. “She’s always followed the nutritionist’s orders and watched her diet during her pregnancy.”

“I know. But, during pregnancy, it’s common for the mother to experience all kinds of symptoms. Everyone is different. It can’t be controlled…and scientists are still trying to find the reason. Although I guaranteed to help her reach full term, there may be a possibility that she’ll have to still give birth prematurely. I think that is the safest option for both her and the child.”

“I never thought I’d slap myself in the face like this.”

“Is there a way to reduce the damage?” Eric asked after a moment of careful thinking.

At that moment, he was no longer the ruthless Eric that everyone knew, he was a husband that blamed himself and a father that felt helpless.

“I’m afraid of seeing her hurt…”

Chester looked into Eric’s eyes and suddenly felt moved.

How much did a man have to love a woman for him to reveal such a pleading look?

Chester froze for a second and replied, “The current treatment options are very advanced; it’s not as scary as you think. Although your child isn’t even 8 months yet, we can still guarantee its safety.”

“But…a premature birth is likely to affect the child. The probability exists, so you need to be prepared.”

“There’s no need for preparations. Emma is the most important.”

Emma’s pregnancies weren’t very smooth. Even when she gave birth to the two rascals, she also had complications.

But, giving birth for a woman was sometimes a gamble with death.

“When Emma wakes up, you can speak to her about this…She needs to agree first.”

Eric held onto Emma’s hands and nodded his head. After quite some time, Emma finally awoke.

Although Emma didn’t know what had happened, one glance at Eric’s exp**ssion and she could tell that she had frightened him again.

So, she looked at Eric and smiled, “What’s with your exp**ssion? Didn’t I wake up in the end?”

Eric drew Emma into his arms needily, “If I knew that having a child meant that we’d have to sacrifice your health, I wouldn’t have wanted any.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Chester said that you have gestational hypertension, so…you will still need to have a premature labor.”

“Why? Didn’t she say that she could guarantee a full term?” Emma suddenly panicked. “Aren’t I doing fine? Why does it need to be premature?”

“Gestational hypertension isn’t an incurable disease, but it may be fatal…I don’t want to take any risks,” Eric replied, “That’s why I agreed to bring forward your labor.”

Emma froze, unable to process the news.

“What are the consequences of giving a premature birth?”

“Both mother and daughter will be safe. But, the child may experience some negative repercussions.”

Eric replied honestly.

After Emma heard this, she shook her head, “I can hold on. We don’t need to bring it forward. I have no control over how the child will be after it is born. But, for now, while it’s still in my stomach, I will do all I can to give it the best life possible. I don’t want it to suffer because of my selfishness.”

“But, that’s just a possibility…”

“If it actually develops something, then it’s too late,” Emma replied. “Think about it: if the child is actually born with a disorder or defect, do you think I could face that situation in peace?”

“But, it’s very dangerous for you!” Eric emphasized.

“I can do it. I won’t let myself be triggered again,” Emma said confidently.

“But, I’ve already agreed to Chester…You may be worried about the child, but I’m worried about you…”

After Emma heard this, she did not say another word as she fell silent.

She wasn’t acting recklessly, she simply felt that she could still hold on, so there was no reason to get to that stage…

This was the first disagreement bet**en the couple since their marriage. Emma did not say a word and Eric could only watch in silence.

If Emma continued to refuse, then the surgery couldn’t possibly continue. For Emma, it was a step that she simply couldn’t take. She couldn’t use her child’s health as an exchange for her own safety.

So, the couple did not speak to each other for three days.

When Chester saw this, she couldn’t help but sigh, “Why must you torment Eric like this? He’s simply worried about you and he’s afraid of losing you. Plus, you really shouldn’t underestimate this disorder. If you faint again, you might report straight to death. Aren’t you scared?”

Emma did not say a word. It was obvious that she was struggling to make a decision.

“Besides, why must you be so pessimistic? Plenty of premature babies are born completely healthy without any repercussions. Why do you always plan for the worst? Must you slice open Eric’s heart, one slash at a time?”

“In his world, you and the child are two separate entities.”

“The child has its own life – but you are his life.”

“Your persistence is the worst form of torture for Eric. He’s worried about you, but he can’t say anything harsh to you. Think about it.”

Emma remained silent. That night, she forced herself to stay awake as she waited for Eric to come from work. Soon, she felt Eric hold onto her hand as he sat by her bedside and got some rest.

At that moment, Emma’s tears began to flow from her eyes. How did the child become her main priority over Eric?
