The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Hayden stormed out of Emerald City Prison, his face livid.

Evelyn's words still sent chills down his spine, making him feel like he had plunged into an icy abyss.

He knew all too well that Evelyn wasn't bluffing. This crazy woman was capable of anything, and her methods and determination were not to be underestimated.

But now, his plan had failed.

Compared to Emily's indifference, Evelyn and Sophia's scheming left him utterly defenseless.

After much thought, Hayden decided to focus his efforts on Emily.

After all, winning over Emily meant winning over Michael.

Michael was a prominent businessman in Emerald City!

With his support, would he ever need to worry about his future?

Thinking of this, Hayden began to daydream, feeling a sense of relief. A smile crept onto his face as he walked briskly towards the parking lot, as if everything was under control.

However, a nagging sense of unease lingered in his heart.

Evelyn's piercing gaze haunted his mind, like a sharp blade ready to shatter his dreams at any moment.

Hayden took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent thoughts. Little did he know that in the near future, even though Evelyn couldn't confront him directly, her

troublesome brother would haunt him like a relentless ghost, pushing him to the brink of despair.

Luna found herself lying in the cold, sterile operating room.

Surrounded by unfeeling medical equipment, she stared at the ceiling, a wave of indescribable fear washing over her.

The harsh lights of the operating room made her squint, and she bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

She suddenly recalled Leo's terrifying, brooding face, his sharp eyes seeming to pierce through everything.

A shiver ran down her spine, and after the doctor administered the anesthesia, she drifted into unconsciousness.

When she woke up, the surgery was over.

Luna let out a sigh of relief as she gazed at the bright sunlight outside, but a layer of gloom still hung over her heart.At that moment, Emily walked in.

She hadn't wanted to get involved with the Ward family's affairs, but the more she got involved, the deeper she was drawn in.

Alice was busy managing the Ward family business, constantly on the move, so Emily had no choice but to take on the task of looking after Luna. After all, if someone else took care of her and word got out, the scandal would never end.

Moreover, Luna's emotional state was still fragile, and she couldn't handle any more stress.

After much deliberation and seeing Alice's earnest plea, Emily sighed and accepted the difficult task. Her late mother couldn't bear to see her two relatives suffer, so Emily had to her them.

Closing the door to the hospital room, Emily walked to the bedside and smiled as Luna looked up at her.

"How are you feeling today? Any better?"

Luna nodded. This ordeal had made her more composed.

She had also become more reticent, responding with actions rather than words whenever possible.

Emily understood her feelings well. Being a mother herself, she was more sensitive than most.

Emily never mentioned Harry in front of Luna, nor did she consider bringing Harry to the hospital.

But just as she was peeling an apple, Luna suddenly spoke.

"Emily, isn't your baby about to turn one month old?"

Emily's hand paused, and her eyelids fluttered slightly.

Before she could respond, Luna continued.  "It's nothing, really. I was just asking.

It's so boring here, don't you think?"

Emily took a deep breath, forcing a smile. ;"Yeah, almost a month."

Her heart tightened, but she continued peeling the apple, trying to hide her inner turmoil.

Luna sighed softly, turning her gaze to the window, seeking some solace. "My baby should be almost three months old now."

Emily's heart skipped a beat, and the apple peel broke.

She looked up at Luna, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected Luna to still think about that child.

The past was best left behind, and Luna could start anew.

Dwelling on it was pointless, especially since the child's father remained a mystery, shrouding the matter in uncertainty. Bringing it up only stirred emotions.

So Emily said nothing, silently handing the peeled apple to Luna.

Luna took the apple, biting into it with a bitter smile, her heart heavy with sorrow. "It's sweet."

Emily smiled back, and silence filled the room.noveldrama

Sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting dappled patterns on the floor. Luna suddenly spoke again. "Emily, I want to go abroad."

This wasn't the first time Luna had mentioned leaving the country.

The Ward family had opposed it before, as well as Alice. The family's finances were dwindling, making it a poor choice, and their strict family values meant they wouldn't easily return once they had moved back to Emerald City.

But Emily understood Luna well.

She had grown up abroad and only returned to Emerald City in her twenties. Soon after, her family fell into chaos. Her aunt died, her father became a murderer, her grandfather was a controlling mastermind, her sister was weak, and Luna's extreme actions only pushed her deeper into despair. It was truly tragic.

So when Luna expressed her desire to leave, Emily wasn't surprised.

She understood completely, but she had to explain the current situation to Luna.

The Ward family wouldn't allow it, and Luna's current condition didn't permit it either. "Luna, you're not in a state to travel far right now. We need to stabilize first and then plan for the future."

"Of course, I can't stop you. You have the right to choose your future. But have you thought it through? Going abroad means defying your grandfather's wishes. You'll need to be independent and capable of living on your own."

Hearing Emily's words, a light sparked in Luna's eyes.

She looked at Emily with a seriousness that seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"I understand, Emily. I'll think about it carefully." Luna's voice was soft but firm.

She had indeed grown wiser and more mature.

Emily felt a sense of relief, smiling as she changed the subject to comfort Luna.

"The sun is nice today. How about I take you outside for a walk? It'll help you recover." Luna nodded, gratitude shining in her eyes.
