The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

When Daniel met up with the two, they had already crossed the border of Phoenix City.

Phoenix City, surrounded by mountains and with its remote location and rugged roads, required extra caution when driving.

Emily initially wanted to take on the task, as her driving skills were not inferior to those of the men, but Michael and Daniel started an inexplicable competition.

"I'll drive, my driving skills are good." Daniel said.

"Listen to you, like someone here can't drive well. Are you just showing off?" Michael snorted.

"I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Michael, don't go too far. I just think that Emily and you have been tired for so many days, and you both need a good rest."

"Dr. Wilson, please make yourself clear. What do you mean by Emily and I have been tired for so many days, and we both need a good rest? Are you saying I have been dragging her down?"

"Isn't that the case? You were the one who wanted a divorce, but you kept delaying it. Otherwise, why would Emily come here to find Veda as her sister-in-law? She could have been free and lived the life she wanted."

"Daniel! Don't push your luck! I haven't even settled the score with you about my sister..."

"Enough!" Emily said.

Seeing the two continue arguing, it seemed they wouldn't reach Everglade City before nightfall.

Emily looked at the two childish men with dissatisfaction. She raised her hand to brush her hair and then frowned at Daniel. "Daniel, you came here to find Veda, not to argue with him, right?"

Seeing Emily angry, Daniel lowered his head and fell silent.

On the other hand, Michael was panting furiously. He thought Emily was on his side, but the next second, he heard her say, "Michael, don't be stubborn at this time. Aren't you aware of how long you've been behind the wheel? Keep this up, and you'll be driving while fatigued. Let Daniel drive today, and you go to the back seat to rest." Emily quickly arranged everything.

Michael and Daniel rarely saw her so assertive.

To be honest, it was quite attractive.

But surprisingly, they were willing to listen, each going their way and obediently getting into the car.

Emily sat in the back with Michael.

As the car started, she stared at the scenery outside the window for a long time. First,

it was mountains, and then more mountains. Somehow, the car speed suddenly increased, and the mountains blurred together, making her dizzy.

Emily couldn't help but doze off, but it was broad daylight, and the sunlight outside was blinding.

At this moment, Michael, who had been silent, handed over a steam eye mask. "Put it on and sleep. Didn't you say you needed a good rest?"

Michael emphasized the word "good," and Emily looked at him, noticing he pouted like a mischievous little boy.

Emily had never seen such a childish side of Michael.

In her impression, Michael was selfish, arrogant, domineering, and most importantly,

he never knew what it meant to be considerate.

But his small gesture surprised Emily today. She even wondered if the person in front

of her was really Michael or if some angel had possessed him.

"Are you going to wear it or not? I'm being kind!" Michael said.

Seeing Michael throw a childish tantrum again, Emily couldn't help but smile reluctantly. She took the eye mask and said, "Thanks."

It was just one word, but Michael seemed to hear something particularly moving.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, but he seemed afraid of being seen.

So he turned his head, looking out the window with a smug expression.

Daniel saw this scene in the rearview mirror. He was focused on driving, but the conversation in the back seat distracted him, making him glance at them occasionally.

Daniel had liked Emily for a long time.

Seeing this scene, he was undoubtedly unhappy. But his eagerness to find Veda made that thought fade away quickly.

After all, finding her was the priority, and ensuring her safety was even more important.

"They don't care about me at all, so why would they care about my safety?" Veda said.noveldrama

At that moment, Veda was having breakfast with Kieran.

Her task today was to pawn the gold bracelet on her wrist at the gold shop, because only then could she pay for the medical and accommodation expenses of the gentleman in front of her and buy a return ticket.

But Veda had no intention of returning to the Smith Mansion.

She just thought that living in Emerald City was more convenient than in other cities. After all, she grew up there and always ran into acquaintances, so she wouldn't be bullied as much.

Even if she couldn't survive, she could "extort" some money from friends.

Thinking of this, Veda sped up, eating voraciously.

and turn. The next chapter awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now! Seeing this, Kieran started lecturing Veda at the dining table, taking the opportunity to tell her that running away from home would surely worry her family.

Unexpectedly, Veda responded with such an indifferent answer.

Kieran couldn't understand how the seemingly harmonious and united Smith family in Emerald City could be so chaotic behind the scenes.

It seemed that doing business and being powerful was no different.

Now, Mason must be very anxious, unable to sleep all night.

For him, life was simply too enjoyable.

Thinking of this, Kieran chuckled, his eyes narrowing into slits.

Seeing this, Veda was curious. Was what she said that funny?

Seeing Veda's puzzled expression, Kieran quickly explained. "I'm not laughing at you! Miss, I just want to say, how can a family with blood ties not care about you? Do you have some misunderstanding about them?"

As he asked, he thought to himself, 'It must be a misunderstanding. After all, Michael and the others are already on their way.'

"Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding?" Veda asked, thinking of the Smith family's facade of harmony and unity, she felt disgusted.

Since she didn't know the person in front of her and wouldn't see him again after returning to Emerald City, she continued without reservation. "Sir, you don't know, some family members don't deserve to be called family. Have you seen a mother who treats her child as a stranger after giving birth? Have you seen a father-in-law who, despite being dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law, locks her up for the sake of his son's and family's reputation?"

"Everyone pretends to be united and harmonious, but in reality, no one likes each other. The house is filled with smoke and arguments every day."

At this point, Kieran could clearly see the despair and disappointment in Veda's eyes.

Then, he heard her say with unusual determination, "What's the point of staying in such a family?"
