Jacob pulled me into his arms, his voice filled with pity as he tried to comfort me. "Sweetheart, I know how much you’ve always wanted a child, but your health is what matters most to me. I can’t bear the thought of losing you. If it comes to it, we can always adopt a child."
I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could speak, the door creaked open.
Daisy entered with a fruit basket in hand.
"Sorry to interrupt. I’m here on behalf of the company to check on Mrs. Lopez."
Daisy was a new streamer signed to Cosmic Entertainment. Beautiful, with a perfect figure and a captivating personality, her live streams brought in millions for the company.
It wasn’t hard to see why Jacob would favor her.
Jacob’s expression didn’t change. He nodded at her indifferently, then turned his attention back to me.
But I knew, beneath this facade of calm, turbulent waters brewed.
I turned my back to them, suppressing my emotions, and said, "I’m tired. I’d like to rest."
I thought Daisy would leave, but to my surprise, she stayed. She sat quietly nearby, keeping Jacob company.
