The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Mason had been in a coma for several days.

During this period, Veda also rushed back and discussed with Michael about taking turns to look after Mason.

Scarlett also expressed her willingness to take care of Mason and help find a caregiver. She seemed very eager, but Michael did not agree and decided to take care of him personally.

Emily didn't know what Michael intended, but she thought Scarlett indeed couldn't take good care of Mason.

She might be pretending, and it was understandable that Michael didn't trust her.

However, the next morning, when Emily returned home, she realized that there was indeed a reason to guard against Scarlett.

"You're back?"

Hearing the noise, Isabella came out of the bedroom.

Seeing Emily's tired face, she quickly approached, frowned, and looked

dissatisfied. "You insisted on going to Everglade City with Michael, and now look, you've exhausted yourself."

It's so nice to have a loving mother.

Emily wasn't used to being nagged like this, but sometimes she enjoyed it, feeling conflicted.

"Mom, I insisted on going to Everglade City. Besides, I also have some responsibility for Veda's running away."

Isabella thought of Emily's pregnancy, and her heart ached, but she could only endure it and said, "As long as it's about the Smith family, you feel responsible."

From this, Isabella could see that her silly daughter Emily was truly devoted to Michael. Even though she was pregnant with a Smith child, she was willing to endure humiliation from the Smiths and bear it alone.

Thinking of this, Isabella felt even more distressed and quickly took Emily's hand. "You told me you were coming back this morning, so I immediately heated the bathwater for you. Go take a bath first, and then go to the dining room to eat. I made some dishes for you."

They were all nutritious dishes for pregnant women.

Isabella got up early to make them and even looked up recipes online.

She was afraid of making a mistake and hurting her little grandchild.

Emily smiled at this and said, "Mom, do you know how to make soup?"

Isabella immediately understood Emily's meaning, her smile faded a bit, and she asked back. "Do you want to drink it?"

Emily shook her head, changed her slippers, and held Isabella's arm, resting her head on her shoulder.

"Grandpa is hospitalized, and Michael has been staying at the hospital these days. He doesn't have much appetite, so I thought..."

"Emily." Before Emily could finish, Isabella couldn't hold back.

There are so many good men in the world, why insist on holding onto the one from the Smith family?

As an outsider, Isabella couldn't understand.

As a mother, Isabella felt even more heartbroken.

She became serious, thinking that it was better to make things clear now rather than later.

Although every family has its challenges to face.

Isabella truly believed that the Smith family's troubles were too many, and Scarlett was a hard nut to crack!

Thinking of this, Isabella pulled Emily to sit on the sofa.

The mother and daughter faced each other, their eyes meeting, their thoughts turning. Seeing Emily's confusion, Isabella didn't want to beat around the bush and said directly.

"You and Michael are about to get divorced. You shouldn't be involved in their family's affairs anymore."

Emily didn't expect Isabella to say such cold words.

But it was a reminder.

They were indeed about to get divorced, and this matter couldn't be delayed any longer.

Emily gradually realized that she might have become weak-willed again. The bold words she once said about leaving Emerald City seemed to slip away every time she saw Michael.

"Mom..."

"Emily, don't think I'm being harsh. You like Michael, I can see that, but during my coma, how did the Smith family treat you. And what about Michael? Have you forgotten? Are you willing to let those things slide by?"

Isabella's words brought Emily back to that environment.

She suddenly remembered the time when Isabella was in a coma. She first took care of

the sick Michael, and shortly after he recovered, he told her he wanted to be with Sophia.

Even though she was the legitimate wife, she turned into a mistress because of her half-sister.

How could Emily forget such humiliation?

Then Isabella was hospitalized, and Scarlett and Veda repeatedly mocked her, even using money to insult her... On one side were the high medical bills, and on the other was the caged life of a wealthy family.noveldrama

At that time, Emily doubted she had become useless.

Seeing Emily's face becoming more and more unpleasant, Isabella became anxious.

She knew it wasn't easy to make Emily give up her love.

So, she decided to reveal everything.

"Emily, I went to the Smith Mansion a few days ago."

Went to the Smith Mansion?

Emily didn't know what Isabella did at the Smith Mansion while she was away from Emerald City.

Did she go to find Scarlett? Or Mason?

She looked puzzled, and Isabella continued. "I went to ask Mason something, to figure things out for you, but I didn't expect to see Scarlett drugging Mason as soon as I entered."

"Drugging?" Emily was stunned, her eyes wide open.

Previously, Emily only thought Scarlett was somewhat malicious, daring to target her because she had no background.

But she never expected Scarlett to be so ruthless as to drug Mason.

Seeing Emily speechless, Isabella knew she had revealed the right thing.

No one knew Scarlett's malicious intentions. Once things were laid out clearly, Emily would be scared and wary of the Smith family.

Isabella continued, "Surprised? What's more terrifying is that Scarlett, fearing I would expose her, destroyed the evidence and put an antidote in the hot soup, making me look awkward when I accused her!

"Mason is a muddle-headed person, not listening to me, thinking his daughter-in-law is right. How could I go there to falsely accuse her?"

Isabella continued to vividly describe the situation. The more she spoke, the more agitated she became.

Emily listened intently, and the scene appeared in her mind.

Thinking of Scarlett drugging Mason, she was shocked but also found it highly

possible.
