The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

"Fine, if you don't wanna talk, I won't push you. Just take care of him. I'm outta

here." Emily's voice was cold as ice.

Andrew listened, feeling a deep sadness for Michael.

After a moment of hesitation, seeing Emily had already taken a few steps away, Andrew suddenly called out, "Mrs. Smith!

"You might not know why Mr. Smith didn't rush over right away when your mom had her accident. You might also not know why he suddenly showed up at the Ward Mansion. The truth is, Mr. Smith knew about it all along. He came straight from the airport to the hospital but didn't see you... I could tell you everything, but if you knew, would you still forgive him?"

Emily grew more confused the more she listened.

She turned around, frowning at Andrew, who continued slowly, "Actually... we just checked your mom's car in the garage."

The car?

Yeah, the car had a dashcam. Maybe it could show how her mom had the accident.

Emily had been so wrapped up in her grief. She had barely waited for Isabella's surgery to end and was still waiting for her to wake up. Although she knew it couldn't have been an accident, she hadn't thought to investigate.

So Michael hadn't shown up because he went to the garage first and found out who was responsible for her mom's injury?

"Was it the Ward family?" A sudden realization hit Emily.

"Yeah." Andrew nodded, looking like he had more to say but couldn't. "It was the Ward family. We checked the dashcam. You might remember, Mr. Smith had a run-in with Roger's guys before, when he was trying to save you. Mr. Smith was in a hurry and remembered that guy's face."

"This time, when we checked the dashcam, Mr. Smith saw that guy again. We're pretty sure it was Roger who hurt your mom."

"So Mr. Smith felt responsible for dragging you and your mom into this. That's why he... he decided to confront the Ward family, even if it meant risking everything. He felt he had no dignity left to face you or your mom!"

"That's crazy!"

Emily was in disbelief.

She never imagined that Michael, who was always so meticulous and rational, could be so reckless. How could he dare to confront the Ward family? Didn't he know Roger was a scoundrel?

But... why would the Ward family target her mom?

Other than the conflict with Michael, the only other issue was Luna destroying the necklace.

These weren't deep-seated grudges, so why would Roger be so ruthless?

Thinking about this, Emily's emotions suddenly collapsed again.

Her body trembled, her voice quivered, and she couldn't form a complete sentence.

She didn't understand why Michael would do this.

He had already done so many things disregarding their marriage. He had cut off all her credit cards and financial support. He should be the last person to care about her.

Was it just to apologize to her and her mom that he was willing to risk everything, even his life?

Emily didn't understand. She had decided to let go of Michael, so why did he keep pulling her back, making her unable to move on, leaving her to struggle alone with her emotions?

Penelope had covered all of Isabella's hospital and surgery fees. But compared to Penelope, Emily was closer to Abigail.

She now had to think about repaying Penelope as soon as possible, to avoid owing her any favors.

Abigail, though she had some money, couldn't help but ask Emily about it.

Emily didn't hide anything from Abigail.

After all, she and Michael had reached this point. It was normal for him to cut off her cards, but all her salary was in that account, so she couldn't pay for Isabella's medical bills.

Every time she thought about it, Emily felt helpless and frustrated.

But she couldn't get angry at Michael now.

Abigail, unaware of all this, was stunned after hearing Emily's story and then looked incredulous.

"Michael is such a jerk! Cutting off your cards? I can't believe I supported you two getting back together. Now it seems he's just a complete jerk!

"No way, I need to talk to him. You two aren't even divorced yet. What is he thinking?"

Seeing Abigail's strong reaction, Emily quickly pulled her back, trying to explain, "Don't blame him, Abigail. It's better this way, to draw a clear line.

"Besides, I never spent any of the money he gave me. This way, we can settle things clearly. He just didn't know I put my salary in that account, so for now... I might need your help..."

Seeing Emily's hesitation, Abigail understood and didn't hesitate to help. "I'm your best friend. If you need money, of course, I'll lend it to you. Don't worry about that! But Emily, I really think you need a reliable partner... Michael is just too much! But I think Daniel is pretty good. Have you considered him?"

Indeed, Emily had noticed.

No matter how much she rejected Daniel, no matter how much she told him it was impossible between them, Daniel always showed up and stayed by her side whenever she was in trouble.noveldrama

But why did someone so considerate still not compare to Michael?

Emily couldn't help but feel heartbroken again.

Especially when she thought about the first time she saw Michael at the Ward Mansion.

That scene felt like a knife twisting in her heart.

Although Andrew had tried to keep the news of Michael's injury and coma under wraps, with so many people around, it was bound to leak from the Ward family or the hospital.

Soon, the news reached Sophia.

Even though she was abroad, as soon as she heard about Michael's injury, she took the earliest flight back.

Of course, Sophia wasn't just worried about Michael.

She had been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Emily and Michael's relationship

to break down, waiting for Michael to be at his most vulnerable so she could reappear

in his life. Only then might she have a chance to win him back.

But Sophia never expected this opportunity to come so quickly.

Emily really did bring her luck, "wanting to bring her back" as soon as possible.

Thinking about this, Sophia almost laughed out loud as she got into the cab to the hospital.
