The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

"What the heck is going on here? Doctor, what happened to my mom? Who brought her in? Why did this happen so suddenly? Is she seriously hurt? Please, you have to save her, I'm begging you..."

"Miss, could you please go and pay the fees first? We can't proceed with the surgery otherwise. We understand you're upset, but we can't have loud disturbances here. Please understand."

Emerald City General Hospital was definitely not the same as Emerald City Harmony Hospital.

Without Daniel's help or familiar doctors and nurses, Emily lost it when Isabella was suddenly injured. Only Penelope was there to hold her back and protect her, while the rest of the medical staff could only offer reproach.

But Penelope knew they had to listen to the doctors.

After all, getting the surgery done was the most important thing.

She remembered that Emily's bank card had been frozen by Michael, so she quickly said, "Emily, stay here with your mom. I'll go pay the fees."

"Ms. Blair..."

The next moment, Emily was already in tears, unable to say another word. The weight

on her chest made it hard to breathe, and a wave of despair washed over her.

But as soon as Penelope left, Emily broke down again.

She couldn't understand why life kept playing such cruel jokes on her.

Emily's good life was just about to begin.

So why, at this moment, did Isabella have to be attacked and so severely injured?

Who... who could it be?

Suddenly, a figure flashed through Emily's mind.

After all, she had almost been framed by this person a few days ago. Now that Isabella was hurt, it wasn't impossible that it was the same person. But no matter how much she thought about it, Emily just couldn't understand!

Roger hated the Smith family, hated Michael, and it wasn't surprising that he would hate her too.

But why... why drag Isabella into this?

Emily didn't have the strength to think anymore. She suddenly felt her legs give out and collapsed to the ground, all her energy drained by the overwhelming emotions.

The anger and grievance in her heart intertwined into an indescribable pain, causing her to completely break down.

Penelope, after paying the surgery fees, quickly called Bryan.

Bryan, understanding the gravity of the situation, immediately sent a message to Michael.

Michael had just gotten off a plane and turned on his phone.

Bryan's message popped up, and Michael froze, his expression darkening.

On the way to Emerald City General Hospital, Michael was furious. Andrew, sitting

beside him, was so scared he didn't dare to breathe. Soon, a command came from the back seat.

"My phone's dead. Call Veda."

Andrew quickly complied.

The call connected, and Veda's voice came through. "Hello? Andrew, what's up?" "Veda."

Veda didn't know Michael was back in the country. She thought Andrew was calling about work.

She had just done something underhanded, and now Michael was calling.

Veda didn't need to think hard to know why.

"Michael, what's going on? I'm busy here..."

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

No matter what, she had to keep up the act.

Veda knew she couldn't fool Michael, but she had to keep up appearances.

Michael, seeing through Veda's thoughts, directly questioned her, "Veda, who told you to freeze Emily's bank card?"

Andrew, listening on the side, was shocked.

Veda had gained a lot of power recently, overseeing many projects at Smith Corporation. But daring to freeze Emily's card without Michael's approval was bold. Andrew couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Veda.

Sure enough, the other end of the line stammered, unable to give a coherent answer.

Michael, losing patience, coldly ordered, "Unfreeze it. From now on, don't touch her card without my permission."

That should have been the end of it.

But Veda wasn't satisfied. She retorted, "Michael, what's wrong with you? Why are you still taking her side?"

Michael didn't hesitate to counter, "Weren't you taking her side before?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

After a while, Veda slowly replied, "That was before... Michael! She's not really one of us. How can she be truly loyal?"

"You still provide for her, but you're about to divorce. Shouldn't we settle this? Smith Corporation needs funds..."

Michael didn't want to hear any more of Veda's nonsense.

Did she think Smith Corporation couldn't function without that money?

What he gave Emily was hers, and no one could take it away.

"Unfreeze it, Veda. This is your last warning. I don't want to argue with you again." With that, Michael hung up the phone without waiting for Veda's response. Andrew, relieved, turned to Michael and asked, "Mr. Smith, should we go straight to the hospital to see Mrs. Smith?"

Michael thought for a moment, his eyes darkening. "No, go to the hospital parking lot."

Emily must be emotionally devastated right now and needed someone to take care of her.

But Michael knew that person couldn't be him. Emily probably didn't want to see him.

So, Michael had already messaged Bryan to contact Abigail and asked Penelope to help. He needed to find out what happened.

He couldn't understand who Isabella had offended to warrant such an attack.

Michael thought of Hayden.

But the more he thought about it, the less likely it seemed.

Hayden didn't have the guts. Even if he did, why would he target Isabella? If Isabellanoveldrama

died, all her companies would collapse.

Hayden's small company couldn't make any waves.

In other words, Hayden needed Isabella's companies to survive.

He was too shrewd, too greedy, and too cautious.

Without Sophia and Evelyn's support, he wouldn't risk everything against Isabella and

Emily, let alone commit such a self-defeating act by assassinating Isabella.

So, Michael knew he had to investigate personally.
