The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

"You really don't need to apologize to me. The person who should be apologizing isn't you. All of this was caused by Sophia, and by my mistake of a marriage three years ago. Dean was seduced by her, just like Michael was back then. I get it, men can't resist temptation."

Emily suddenly let out a strange smile.

That smile, Archibald would remember for many years to come.

"So this is Dean's problem. You don't need to take responsibility."

As she spoke, Archibald felt another cold, piercing gaze.

"But honestly, I think it's best if we keep our distance. I understand your feelings for me, but I won't accept them. Besides, the relationship between me, Dean, and Dean's girlfriend is completely dysfunctional."

After Evelyn's chaotic visit to her home, Emily realized she had changed. She had become cold and indifferent.

She wanted to cut the Gordian knot; otherwise these troubles would continue to drain her energy and make her uncomfortable.

"Dysfunctional relationship? But Sophia and Dean..."

Once again, Emily interrupted Archibald coldly. "That's their business, not mine. At least

for now, I think we shouldn't have any more entanglements.

"I've already handed the JM Jewelry project over to Ms. Blair. I'm preparing to

completely leave the company and focus on my pregnancy. So, our partnership can end here."

The once gentle and kind Emily had suddenly become so ruthless, something Archibald had never expected.

A complex pain flashed in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he nodded helplessly.

He couldn't explain his feelings for Emily over the long period. Moreover, the current Emily didn't want to listen.

And then there was Dean.

Thinking about this, Archibald felt a heart-wrenching pain.

But in front of Emily, he couldn't lose his temper. He could only suppress his emotions, maintain a calm facade, and slowly turned to leave the room with heavy steps.

Emily watched him leave, feeling a sense of relief.

She gently stroked her belly, her expression gradually softening.

"Archibald left?" Abigail had searched every corner of the hospital for an empty trash can to throw away the carefully chosen lilies, hoping to spare Archibald some heartbreak.

Though it seemed cruel, it was kinder compared to the harm Emily had endured.

Following the principle of avoiding unnecessary trouble, Abigail threw away the flowers.

"He left." Emily's face remained calm.

"He really is something. Dean caused such a mess, teaming up with Sophia to wreak havoc. And after that, the lunatic, I mean Evelyn, escaped from the hospital to hurt you!

"Now you're recovering, and he comes over to trouble you, affecting your mood. What was he thinking?" Abigail said angrily.

Emily just smiled calmly. She knew that some wounds would heal slowly over time.

"As long as we don't interact, it's fine. There's a long road ahead, and I can't keep dwelling on these things. Once I'm healed, I need to get back to my life and work." Hearing this, Abigail felt worried. She sat by the bed and said to Emily, "Emily, why don't you come stay with me? It's really not safe for you to be alone right now."

Abigail was worried someone might harm Emily.

Emerald City seemed safe, but it was full of hidden dangers.

Moreover, Emily had made many enemies after marrying into the Smith family. Recently, there was even...

Before Abigail could finish her thoughts, there was a noise outside.noveldrama

High heels clicked, startling Abigail. She quickly stood up to protect Emily and peeked outside. "Who's there?"

Emily also looked over.

Candice, in a black short skirt, walked in.

Seeing Emily, she approached with a delighted expression. "You're really here! I searched everywhere!"

Then, Candice noticed Emily's injuries and looked sad. Without waiting for an

invitation, she sat on a stool and held Emily's hand.

Emily was surprised, and Abigail was even more so.

As Emily's best friend, Abigail was not happy about someone taking her place.

She directly asked Candice rudely, "Who are you?"

Candice, always indifferent to others, didn't care about who was sitting next to her. She was here to see Emily.

Emily wanted to explain, as she didn't feel that close to Candice.

But Candice spoke first, "I heard it was your stepmother who attacked you?"

This woman was not only an uninvited guest but also extremely rude!

She immediately brought up Emily's private and painful matters, which was too much!

Abigail glared at Candice, but Candice seemed oblivious to the intense gaze. Candice continued, "Emily, I can't believe you live in such a dangerous environment! It's terrifying!

"But I did find out some information. Your stepmother didn't escape from the mental hospital on her own. Think about it, how could she have the ability? And if the hospital's security was that lax, she wouldn't have waited until now."

Candice's words made sense, and Emily thought the same.

She couldn't prove it yet and needed to investigate after being discharged.

Since Abigail was close, Emily didn't hide anything.

"Yes, I think the same. Evelyn, my stepmother, attacked me while Sophia was already under police control. They couldn't have coordinated. There must be someone else behind it.

"This person not only knew I moved but also knew my relationship with Evelyn and that she was in a mental hospital..."

While Abigail was still confused, Candice quickly caught on.

She said, "Not many people know these details! We can use the process of elimination.

I'll help you investigate, and we'll uncover the truth soon!"
