Need You Now

Chapter 137 He Looks Like You

The news of Jacob's smuggling soon spread in A city. The man once standing at the highest level in the financial circle now suddenly fell heavily. The image he had established in the company he had been running over the years had been quickly overturned in this short period of time.

Those who borrowed money for Jacob because of Abby were all remorseful and regretful. Since Jack was thrown into prison and Jacob was arrested, the JA Group almost stopped running since it had no leader. Being as a woman, Abby had no idea what to do.

As for the smuggling case of Jacob, it also involved the Tan family's business in S City, and Wilson was taken to the local police station for investigation. Even if Abby needed help, she didn't know whom to turn to for help.

Outside the detention house, Heidy was sitting in the car coldly, watching Jacob being besieged by the media. Seeing that him had been heavily criticized, the joy of revenge filled her eyes. "Boss, are we going with them?" Warren looked at Heidy and asked.

Squinting her eyes, she answered calmly, "No, Jacob is in a total mess. He had never imagined that he would be reduced to such an embarrassing situation."

Warren nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, indeed, how powerful Jacob used to be, but now... But he deserved it. I heard that, because of the smuggling, Jacob may be sentenced to ten years in prison."

With her eyes squinting slightly, Heidy stared out of the window, smiled and said, "I don't think Hearst will let off him easily. Jacob will not only be imprisoned for ten years." She remembered that Hearst had said that Jacob had something to do with his mother's death. But she didn't know the details.

According to what Hearst had said, there was no way for Jacob to just take a little punishment.

In the Xu family's villa, Abby looked at Jacob anxiously and asked, "What should we do to, Jacob? My father is very angry now and he won't help at all. I've begged Hearst, but he didn't respond. Now you are on bail for two days, and you are going to be sentenced the day after tomorrow. If you are held in jail, the company will be really ruined."

Her words annoyed Jacob. He said sullenly to her, "Damn it, why didn't your father help me with the emergency?"

"I just got a call from father, and dad seemed to have shifted all the blame on you. So you should be held accountable," said Abby in a trembling voice.

Jacob thumped the table with his fist, and his face was full of anger. "Damn it! I shouldn't have set the base in A city," said Jacob, annoyed. But now, he had no chance to redeem the situation.

"I didn't expect my father to be so heartless," Abby sobbed. "Jacob, what should I do if you are sent to prison?"

Before she finished, Jacob quickly said, "I can't be in jail, or when I come out ten years later, everything has already changed. Abby, please think of another way to help me out."

Upon hearing this, Abby said with tears in her eyes, "I'm just a woman. Jacob, you'd better ask those officers for help. Didn't you always bribe them before?"

"They are willing to do anything for money. If we didn't give them anything, why would they get involved in such mess?" said Jacob indignantly.

At this moment, a servant came to Jacob and said in a cold voice, "Sir, why don't you run away before your crime is settled. I've read a lot of news about the criminals. Many of them can start over once they leave. If you are in prison, the Xu family will be really destroyed."

Thinking of the company situation, Abby nodded and said, "Yes, you can take the opportunity to leave. You can hide for a while, and then start your business again. It's better than put you in prison."

Jacob built a business of his own and it was going to be destroyed. Thinking of this, Jacob said, "Yes, I can leave here. I can't just stay in prison. Abby, please help me pack my things."

Abby was reluctant him to leave, but she nodded her head and hurried upstairs to pack up her things. At night, Jacob left home.

The next day, the news of Jacob's escaping spread quickly. The police failed to find Jacob in the Xu family, and began to arrest him throughout the city. Soon, Jacob became an escaped prisoner, and the police were sending people to search for him. The Xu family was also controlled by the police for helping Jacob run away. For a time, the Xu family became the hot topic in A city.

In the corridor of the hospital, Heidy and Hearst were walking side by side. As the breeze blew over their faces, both of them kept silent. "It must be you who arranged Jacob to run away, right?"

With one of his hands in his pocket, he stared ahead, and then said with a smile, "Yes, I arranged it. Although it was a good punishment for him to be put in jail, it was too light. I will help him experience more before he is sent to prison."

"By then, he will be severely punished. I won't let him get out of prison alive! " Heidy smiled and said, "It seems that you hate him very much."

On the other hand, Hearst didn't say anything, just looking ahead quietly. Arriving at the building where the Department of gynaecology and obstetrics was located, Heidy went to have a physical examination and asked Hearst to accompany her. When the doctor was attached to her belly with the instrument, some noises were heard.

Seeing this, Hearst frowned and asked worriedly, "What happened?"

Looking at his expression, the doctor smiled and explained, "Don't worry, Mr. Hearst. It's normal fetal movement. The lady should pay attention to the fetal movement at home. You need to pay more attention if you have a relatively high or low fetal movement in your body."

Hearing the doctor's explanation, Hearst slowly nodded his head and said, "Oh, it's fetal movement."

With a general check-up, she had to do a color ultrasound. In a twinkling of an eye, four months had passed, but she still wanted to see what her child looked like. In the color ultrasonic room, Heidy was lying on the bed, and Hearst saw a small figure was rolling over there through the monitor.

The color ultrasound would allow him to see clearly the baby's face, limbs and arms. Looking at him, Heidy asked nervously, "What do you think?"

Looking at the baby in the video, Hearst smiled and said, "She looks like you."

She opened her mouth in surprise and asked in astonishment, "Does she look like me?"

"Yeah, she looks exactly like you, she's a beauty," said Hearst softly.

Hearing his answer, she had mixed feelings. Tears were built up in her eyes as she stared at her belly. Then she looked up at the ceiling quickly, trying to hide all her emotions.

Having done the examination, Heidy took the color report from the doctor. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the photo. "Oh, I see," Heidy whispered. "She resembles me, and somewhat like you. She must be pretty when she grows up."

Noticing her facial expressions, Hearst smiled and said, "Her parents have excellent genes. She must be beautiful."

Heidy lowered her head without saying anything. The thought that she couldn't be with her baby after the baby was born made her heart ache. As the baby grew up in her belly, she had subtle feelings for

the baby. When she had Gavin, she didn't have much feelings. But now she couldn't wait to see the baby.

When they walked past the delivery room. Inside came bursts of screams. Heidy stopped and stood there curiously. In a short while, a baby's loud cry was heard.

Then, a nurse brought a chubby baby in her arms to the people waiting outside. "Congratulations! It's a boy," the nurse said with a big smile on her face.

Then a young man took over the child, gently holding him in his arms. Looking at the baby in his arms, the man smiled brilliantly as if he had found a treasure. "Welcome to our home, babe," the man said happily.

Both of Heidy and Hearst didn't move away. Then the mother was sent out. Her face was covered in sweat and her clothes were all wet, but her smile was so bright.

"My sweetheart." The pregnant woman was exhausted, but she still looked at the baby with a satisfied smile.

Feeling their happiness, Heidy had mix feelings. Imagining the scene of her child being born, Heidy looked away. When the baby was born, they would become strangers. At the thought of this, she felt a little repulsive to the arrival of this moment.

Then, looking at her, Hearst held her hand and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Regaining her composure, she glanced at him and said, "Okay, let's go." With that, she walked slowly forward.

Walking out of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, she felt a surge of fluctuation in her heart. She wanted to have a baby as soon as possible, but she hesitated. She couldn't imagine what itCòntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

would be like. At the thought that her child would call someone else mom in the future, she couldn't accept it.

"Will you get married?" Heidy asked coldly.

Looking at his side face, Hearst replied in a low voice, "I'm willing to if the bride is you."

Hearing his answer, Heidy smiled bitterly, "That's impossible."

Hearing this, Hearst replied calmly, "Then forget it. I'm a narrow-minded person. I can't accept a second woman."

Complicated feelings surged in her heart. She bowed her head. Sighing silently, the two came to the hospital and looked at the fork in the road. "Goodbye." With that, Heidy took the lead and walked forward.

After walking for a distance, she suddenly turned around and found that he was still standing there, watching her from afar...
