The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Seeing Emily alone in the hospital room, heartbroken, while her in-laws couldn't even muster a kind word for her, Isabella decided to drop the pretense.

She lowered her voice and spoke angrily. "Listen up, stop giving Emily a hard time. If it weren't for her feelings for Michael, I would've made her divorce him ages ago, just to get her away from you and the Smith family!"

Isabella's words hit harder than a punch.

Scarlett couldn't help but laugh mockingly. "Isabella, do you even believe the nonsense you're spewing?

"Despise the Smith family but still have feelings for Michael? You and your daughter are a walking contradiction. But let's be real, is it really about her feelings for Michael, or is it the Smith family's money she can't let go of? You both know the answer. They've been separated for a while now anyway."

Scarlett's face showed a smug expression, her complexion even rosier.

Isabella looked at her in disbelief.

Isabella thought, is the person lying in that hospital bed really her son?

"As long as they stay separated for two years, the marriage will be automatically dissolved. That's fine by me, it'll save us from further entanglement!" Scarlett said.

Who was the one that wanted to entagle?

Since Isabella was discharged from the hospital, she had only asked Michael to find a house, which should be easy for the CEO of a listed company.

But Michael had gone out of his way to find a villa near Emerald Lake Manor, even helping with the renovations and furnishing. Isabella knew exactly what he was thinking.

Not just that, but every time, it was Michael who came to find Emily, never the other way around. Emily had been deliberately avoiding Michael, so who was really entangled with whom!

Knowing it was pointless to argue with someone as unreasonable as Scarlett, Isabella decided to cut to the chase.

To avoid further complications, she made the decision for Emily and said bluntly.

"Fine, say what you want. I'm making it clear today, I will not agree to Emily reconciling with Michael. They must divorce. With you around every day, she'll be driven to death by anger!"

"You!"noveldrama

Just as Scarlett was about to retort, Isabella continued, "When Michael wakes up and recovers, I'll push Emily to finalize the divorce."

Scarlett's face lit up with joy, rolling her eyes. "Couldn't be happier."

Isabella couldn't swallow her anger and continued.

"Emily won't take a penny from the Smith family, to avoid any further entanglement! But she did marry Michael for three years, giving up three years of her youth. I've heard that Michael wanted to transfer the Emerald Lake Manor house to Emily, and also some shares of the company..."

Mentioning the Emerald Lake Manor house didn't elicit much reaction from Scarlett. But as soon as Isabella mentioned shares, Scarlett's eyes lit up, and she quickly interrupted, "Wait! Shares? What shares? Smith Corporation shares?"

Isabella's face turned sour, knowing Scarlett was about to interfere again.

Sure enough, when it came to money, Scarlett got anxious, retorting Isabella.

"Get it straight! Your daughter didn't give the Smith family a child, enjoyed three years

of marriage, brought bad luck to our family, and almost got Michael killed!

"Isabella, how dare you even think about the Smith Corporation shares for you and your daughter?"

As Scarlett spoke, she couldn't stop calculating in her mind.

Michael wasn't very respectful to her as his mother and had been planning to reduce her shares. If he divorced Emily and gave her a portion... wouldn't she end up with even less?

Shares were finite, but people were not. She couldn't deal with the shareholders, but she could handle Emily!

"I'm warning you, Isabella, don't even think about the shares!"

Scarlett's firm stance made Isabella unhappy.

Emily was already pregnant, not to mention she had been with Michael for three years. Emily insisted on keeping it quiet, otherwise, Isabella would have argued with Scarlett.

To put it bluntly, isn't a child worth some shares?

This was too much!

The noise outside grew louder.

Emily vaguely heard Isabella and Scarlett arguing.

But she didn't want to go out; she was exhausted, utterly drained.

She just wanted to wait for Michael to wake up. Only when Michael woke up could she relax, close her eyes, and get some proper sleep, and give an explanation to the child in her belly.

Thinking of this, Emily's nose tingled, and she felt even more sorrowful.

"What are you two doing! This is a hospital! If you want to argue, do it outside!";A nurse suddenly spoke up outside the door.

Then she gently knocked on the door, afraid of disturbing the patient. Her footsteps were light as she stood still and called out to Emily. Emily turned her head, dazed.

She impatiently looked at the nurse, whose expression suddenly changed to one of surprise.

Emily followed her gaze.

Michael had woken up.

Michael had heard Scarlett and Isabella's argument. Their voices were so loud that he subconsciously heard words like shares and Emerald Lake Manor. Memories kept flooding his mind, causing him to open his eyes.

The nurse called the doctor, who did a quick check and confirmed that Michael was fine, just needed rest.

Emily let out a long sigh of relief, tears streaming down her face.

Thank goodness he was okay.

Michael was really lucky. Evelyn's knife had aimed at his heart but missed by just a bit. Scarlett and Isabella rushed in upon hearing Michael had woken up.

Scarlett, always the actress, rushed to the front, subtly pushing Emily aside.

She thought Michael wouldn't notice such a small action, but he had been watching Emily the whole time. How could he not see it? He frowned slightly, then his eyes pierced Scarlett.

Scarlett immediately sensed something, her smile freezing.

She had to say awkwardly, "Michael, are you in pain? I'm so worried about you. Do you want something to eat? I'll get it for you. Don't worry about the company, Veda is handling it. She's grown up and can help you."

No matter how much Scarlett said, Michael just shook his head and then looked at

Emily.

His voice was soft, probably because the wound still hurt, but Emily could clearly understand his words from his lips. He said, "Are you okay?"
