The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

At Abigail's house, Emily quietly finished her lunch.

Abigail kept going on about how great Daniel's cooking was, but Emily couldn't really taste anything. Her mind was all over the place.

Maybe Daniel noticed Emily was out of it, so he smartly excused himself after they finished eating and took care of the dishes.

Abigail wanted to stay with Emily, hoping to help her relax and remind her to focus on her child. But just as she was about to say something comforting, Emily politely turned her down.

"Abigail, I need to go for a walk by myself."

Abigail was surprised. "By yourself? It's getting dark, Emily. It's not safe. Want me to come with you?"

Emily smiled and shook her head.

It was clear she wanted to be alone.

She knew the neighborhood like the back of her hand.

Michael had come looking for her countless times, their complicated mess often playing out right in front of the house, in the little alley next door.

There were endless memories there, ones Emily wanted to forget but knew she couldn't easily let go of.

"Alright then, but take your phone and come back soon," Abigail advised.

After hearing Abigail's words, Emily put on her coat and slipped into her soft, comfortable flats before heading out the door.

The weather was starting to warm up.

So just a light jacket was enough.

Emily suddenly found herself enjoying this alone time. She took a deep breath, feeling

a sense of freedom, unburdened and unrestrained.

As she walked, a smile crept onto her face, a bright and sunny smile.

Maybe her good life was just beginning.

She shouldn't dwell on the past so much. Enjoying the present was the key to a better future.

While some were happy, others were troubled.

At the same time, Mason had received news of Michael's car accident.

Mason couldn't bear to hear about Michael being in danger, especially since Mason

himself hadn't been in good health lately.

Soon enough, Mason was also rushed to the emergency room.

Fortunately, it wasn't anything serious.

The next morning, Mason was able to see Michael.

Michael, with a head injury and extensive abrasions, had just been moved out of the ICU.

It was as if he had just taken a trip to the edge of hell and back.

Mason's eyes welled up with tears, his hands trembling.

He felt heartache for Michael, but more than that, he felt helpless and regretful.

He regretted Alexander's early death and blamed himself for being too busy with work

to properly guide Michael, leading to one mistake after another, ultimately resulting in the current situation with Emily.

The Smith family shouldn't have come to this point, and Michael shouldn't have turned out this way.

He should have put a stop to it when Sophia appeared!

Then things wouldn't have escalated to this extent!

Clearly, Mason was aware of Michael and Emily's divorce, even though he didn't want to accept it.

"Michael, how did it come to this? You're my grandson. How could I not know what you're thinking? If you didn't want to divorce Emily, why did you go through with it?

"But now that it's done, you need to find a way to win her back. What is this? Have you given up, or are you trying to punish me?" The more he spoke, the more painful it became.

Gradually, Mason's tears flowed uncontrollably as he cried by the bedside.

Just then, Andrew knocked on the door and walked in.

He stood respectfully behind Mason, handing over the divorce certificate and other related documents.

"Mr. Smith, here are all the documents regarding Michael and Miss Brown's divorce." Mason's eyes were filled with tears, blurring his vision.

He took a deep breath and spoke to Andrew. "Just tell me what Emily took and what she left behind. She was with Michael for so long. Our family owes her. She deserves something."

Hearing no response from Andrew, Mason suddenly realized something and glared at him.

"Don't tell me Emily didn't take anything? Michael didn't give her anything either? What kind of mess has Michael made? He's brought shame to our family!"

Andrew, not daring to hide anything from Mason, quickly replied, "Mr. Smith, it's not that Mr. Michael Smith didn't give anything to Mrs. Smith. It's that Mrs. Smith didn't want anything. She..."

He didn't wait for Andrew to finish and snatched the divorce agreement from his hand. The more he read, the deeper his frown became.

By the end, he could hardly believe what he was seeing.

"Pregnant... Emily is pregnant with Michael's child! It's our family's child. Not only is the child out there, but she didn't get a single penny. What is Michael trying to do? Is he rebelling?"noveldrama

Despite Mason's angry outburst, Michael remained unconscious, and Mason couldn't confront him.

But Mason couldn't let this matter rest.

Even though they were divorced, Emily still deserved a portion of the Smith family's property.

"Contact Mrs. Smith... No, she's no longer Michael's wife. Contact Emily immediately. Treat her with respect and invite her to see me!"

After Mason gave his orders, Andrew quickly left the room.

The room fell silent, and Mason took a deep breath, the smell of disinfectant filling his nostrils, making him even more agitated. He was about to lash out at the unconscious Michael.

But then, through the oxygen mask, Michael's voice slowly came out: "Emily... Emily, please forgive me, please forgive..."

Hearing this, Mason felt even worse.

Michael, even in his coma, was begging for Emily's forgiveness. It was touching and heartbreaking.

But what good was it for Mason to hear this?

Emily needed to hear it!

But with the divorce certificate already processed, it wouldn't be easy to reconcile. Mason knew that Emily's desire for a divorce wasn't a recent development. He also knew that once something was done, it was hard to undo. The family valued their reputation above all.

Now, all he could hope for was to give Emily more compensation.

Most importantly, he wanted to ensure that his unborn great-grandchild wouldn't suffer.
