The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

"Sophia's starting to get suspicious of me. She's definitely on edge," Michael muttered, a bitter smile creeping onto his face. "I used to think she was the best to me. Now, it seems..."

Michael trailed off, lost in thought.

Now, it seemed like Emily was the only one who was truly genuine with him.

At least with Emily, whether they were fighting or in love, she was always sincere. But with Sophia, Michael couldn't tell if her feelings were real anymore.

Maybe she was just pretending from the start... The thought made Michael angry at his own poor judgment and even angrier at Sophia, who seemed like a fox in sheep's clothing, deceiving him for years. She not only played with his feelings but also made him miss out on someone he should have cherished.

Emily was pacing back and forth in the hospital corridor, worried sick.

It wasn't until she answered Michael's call and heard his voice that she finally relaxed. "Thank you," Emily said sincerely to Michael.

She walked to the window at the end of the corridor and saw fireworks in the distance. The dazzling display made her feel a sudden clarity. She quickly said to Michael, "Thank you for helping out of respect for my mom. Michael, I think we should get a divorce after we handle this."

"The court has already called before, but we had too many issues. Now that my mom's awake and I have a job... I think we should both move forward."

Hearing this, the smile on Michael's face instantly vanished.

He hesitated, seeing Andrew still waiting for him to return to the company to discuss a project. He waved his hand, got into the sports car, started the engine, and sped away. Andrew shook his head helplessly, sighing. "Love, it's such a strange thing."

"What did you say?" Emily was initially surprised and resistant when she heard Michael was coming to the hospital. "It's already past two in the morning, you should go home and rest. You just left the Brown Villa, coming to see me so suddenly, if someone with ill intentions sees you, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Michael, did you forget what my mom asked you to do?"

With a sudden sharp brake, Michael stopped the car by the roadside.

He sighed deeply and said briefly into the phone, "Then you rest early. About the divorce... I understand."

The call ended.

Emily was stunned for a moment, looking up to see the fireworks in the sky had completely disappeared.

She blinked, feeling a moment of tension thinking about Michael's reaction.noveldrama

Actually, Emily didn't know why Michael suddenly wanted to see her.

But she guessed it was related to the divorce. What Michael was thinking now... Emily had a moment of intuition.

But she understood more clearly that she shouldn't change her plans and pace for anyone.

Michael never loved her from the beginning, so why force themselves to stay together? She shouldn't let these past events consume the next few decades of her life.

That night, Michael stayed by the roadside for a long time.

He kept replaying Emily's words in his mind.

She wanted to move on. Did that mean she didn't love him anymore?

Thinking about it, Michael felt a sharp pain in his heart, like something was stabbing him over and over, and it felt like he was bleeding out with nowhere to hide.

When Emily got back to the ward, she was surprised to see Isabella already awake and standing by the window.

"Mom." Emily felt a wave of tension, knowing Isabella hadn't fully recovered. If she caught a cold or got hurt, the consequences would be unimaginable and unbearable. Emily couldn't bear the thought of losing her mother again, so she decided to take extra good care of Isabella and never let anyone with bad intentions get close to her again.

Thinking this, Emily grabbed a coat and walked over to Isabella. "Why did you get up? Be careful not to catch a cold, your body hasn't fully recovered yet."

Isabella looked at Emily with a comforting smile, touched her head, and pointed out the window. "There were fireworks outside just now, did you see them? I haven't seen such beautiful fireworks in a long time, so I got out of bed to take a closer look. I forgot to put on a coat in a hurry, I'm sorry for worrying you."

Emily smiled, holding Isabella's arm and guiding her back to the bed. "Mom, I just want you to take care of yourself and always be by my side."

Hearing this, Isabella felt a bit guilty.

She knew Hayden wasn't a good father, but she wasn't a great mother either.

They brought Emily into the world but didn't give her enough love.

In this regard, they would always owe this poor yet lovely daughter.

Since Hayden was unreliable, Isabella knew she had to work harder, live better, and give Emily a better life, more love, and pampering.

"I understand." With that, Isabella handed her phone to Emily. "I was right about Michael. He's efficient, quick, and smart. Now we have evidence of Hayden's false testimony, the final trial will be much easier. When we win, we must not forget to treat Michael to a meal."

Emily nodded in agreement, then said, "Of course."

But thinking about the divorce she mentioned to Michael earlier, Emily's face darkened.

She felt that everything she had secretly decided in her heart suddenly became uncertain because of Michael, and she began to fall into endless entanglement and reluctance.

And this scene was noticed by Isabella.

Isabella said, "Let me guess, did you mention divorce to Michael again?"

Emily was momentarily shocked, thinking Michael had said something to Isabella.

Isabella added, "Don't worry, Michael didn't say anything to me, but your feelings are written all over your face. When he sent me the recording earlier, he told me to take good care of myself and you, and that he would come to see me when he had time. I guessed half of it then, and now seeing you like this... I think my guess is pretty

accurate."

Isabella raised her eyebrows, looking kindly at Emily.

Emily smiled bitterly, cautiously replying to Isabella, "Mom, do you blame me?"

Isabella quickly responded, "Blame you for what? Blame you for losing the Smith family's support? Blame you for not consulting me first? Or blame you for losing such a wealthy son-in-law?"
