The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

After mulling it over, she turned to Harlan and said, "No need, you can just see me off. I drove myself here."

Emily glanced behind Harlan, staring intently for a few seconds. Seeing nothing, she wondered if she had imagined it. Maybe she was just too nervous.

Her heart still pounded with unease, but she tried to reassure herself.

After saying goodbye to Harlan, Emily started her car and drove away from the Ward Mansion, heading west at a steady pace through the dark night.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

A blinding light flashed from behind a car not far away, dazzling Emily. She had no choice but to stop her car.

As soon as she stopped, the car behind her followed suit.

Roger's men got out of the car.

It was too dark to see the road clearly.

But Emily could clearly hear someone outside yelling at her, not just yelling, but also banging on her window.

"Get out of the car!"noveldrama

"Get out!"

Could it be robbers? But there shouldn't be any crooks around the Ward Mansion, right?

Emily quickly replayed everything that had happened in her mind.

After a moment, she came to a conclusion-they were most likely Roger's men.

Roger had been glaring at her earlier. If it weren't for Leo, he probably would have torn her apart. Now, had he sent someone to teach her a lesson?

It made sense. His own daughter was in such a state.

Since he couldn't take it out on Leo, Roger must have decided to blame it all on her. The thought made Emily even more scared.

There was no way she was going to open the window or the door.

That would be asking for death.

Emily frantically searched for her phone to call the police, but after fumbling around several times, she suddenly remembered she had left her phone at the Ward Mansion!

How could she be so careless... Emily bit her lip hard, her fear causing her fingers to curl into her palms.

"Get out of the car! Hurry up and get out!"

The shouting made Emily's heart race, as if it would leap out of her chest. Her breathing became heavy and rapid.

Emily couldn't understand why Roger was so malicious.

Why couldn't he just leave her alone?

Was it because of Michael?

But Michael was about to be out of her life, so why was everyone still giving her trouble?

Emily really didn't understand. Why had she fallen in love with Michael and been with him in the first place?

The child in her belly was her only solace now.

A chill ran down her spine as she gently caressed her stomach, whispering softly to her baby.

"Don't be afraid. Mommy will protect you."

At that moment, Emily felt utterly hopeless, as if her world was collapsing before her

eyes. She had no idea how she would survive this ordeal.

Maybe the window would be smashed, or Roger's men would take her to some

unknown place. Emily was convinced she wouldn't escape this time.

Just as Emily was lost in thought, a sudden turn of events occurred!

Out of nowhere, a figure appeared and punched one of Roger's men. Emily watched in shock as the person pinned Roger's man to the ground.

Emily pressed her face against the window, watching in terror. The person didn't give Roger's man a chance to catch his breath, delivering a fierce kick to his chest.

Roger's man spat blood, and before he could react, the person kicked him again, aiming for his side.

At first, Emily thought it was a passerby coming to her rescue, but as she watched, she realized something was off.

This person was clearly targeting Roger's men.

This couldn't be right.

Self-defense was one thing, but this was going too far. Someone could get killed!

It was then that Emily recognized who it was. She stood frozen in place.

Michael?

What was he doing here?

Realizing it was Michael, Emily couldn't hold back any longer. She opened the car door

and ran towards him, shouting at his furious back. "Michael, stop!"

Hearing her, Michael hesitated for a moment.

But he didn't stop. Instead, he pressed harder, stomping on Roger's man's bloated face before raising his fist again.

"Michael!" Emily rushed over and grabbed Michael's hand.

A warm force seemed to wash over Michael. He paused, his body stiffening, and

looked at Emily. Roger's man took the opportunity to beg for mercy.

He was already beaten to a pulp, blood splattered everywhere.

Who knew where this guy's hatred came from? He just wanted to scare his ex-wife a

bit!

After a moment, Michael responded to Emily, "He was going to hurt you."

and turn. The next chapter awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now! Michael seemed like a tamed beast. Emily held his hand, and he stopped beating the

man.

But seeing him like this still scared Emily, and she began to cry.

She hadn't expected Michael to follow her in secret, all the way to the Ward Mansion, and even now.

Didn't Michael feel hurtful at her words earlier?

Why was he suddenly being so good to her?

How could she possibly deserve his kindness?

"I know... but you need to stop. Think about the Smith family; think about Grandpa and

Veda. I'm begging you, Michael, don't hit him anymore."

Emily was moved by Michael's actions.

She didn't know if Michael was trying to earn her forgiveness or what.

But in any case, she was grateful to Michael, and grateful on behalf of the child in her

belly.

Emily suddenly wanted to tell Michael about the baby, about the child they shared.

But after thinking it over, Emily held back.

She felt it was more important to get Michael to calm down right now.

"Michael, get up!" Emily shouted again.

Reluctantly, Michael let go of Roger's man, stood up, and dusted off his hands.

In the cold, bleak night, as Roger's man lay motionless, Michael let out a cold snort

and turned to Emily. "Let me borrow your car."

Emily was momentarily confused.  "For what?"

Michael sighed and looked at Roger's man. "To take him back to the Ward family."

At that moment, Emily saw a dark, ominous glint in Michael's eyes.
