The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

"Come on, check!" Veda ordered, and Daniel jumped into action.novelbin

He was curious if Sophia was up to her old tricks again. Messing with the Smith family was one thing, but Emily was involved, and Daniel didn't want her to get hurt. So, in a way, he was protecting her too.

Sophia was livid. "Michael, I'm carrying your child! Are you really going to let them treat me like this? Do you think the baby isn't yours? When the kid grows up and finds out, they'll blame you!" In her panic, Sophia missed the mark.

She aimed her manipulative words at Michael, forgetting he was the president of Smith Corporation. He'd seen through countless schemes, and Sophia's complaints didn't faze him.

Plus, Michael was protective of his sister. Hearing Sophia criticize Veda's good intentions rubbed him the wrong way. It was just a health check, so why make a fuss?

Michael stayed calm. "Sophia, chill out. Your yelling isn't good for me or the baby. I never doubted the baby was mine. I just want to make sure the baby is healthy. Since we're at the hospital, you can get checked too." "And why would the kid blame me for checking their health? Even if they do, that's years from now. I can't worry about that now." With those words, Michael gave Daniel a meaningful look.

For the first time, they were in sync.

Daniel got the message and grabbed Sophia's arm. He quickly found her pulse and smirked. "Excuse me, Miss Brown."

Sophia never expected her hospital visit to curry favor and teach Emily a lesson would backfire.

Everyone held their breath.

As Daniel's expression grew serious, Sophia got more scared.

She couldn't fight back. She bit her lip and looked down until Michael, with a stern face, asked, "Dr. Wilson, how is it?"

Daniel let go of Sophia and stood up, addressing Michael. "Despite our personal issues, I would never lie about medical matters. It's my professional integrity. If I'm wrong, Miss Brown, you can sue me." He stared directly at Sophia as he said this.

Then he turned to everyone. "Miss Brown isn't pregnant."

Veda didn't hesitate.

She slapped Sophia across the face.

Sophia was stunned, and Emily, worried things might escalate, stepped in to protect Veda.

But Veda, naturally bold, wasn't scared. She told Emily, "Don't worry, I'm fine. This isn't the first time I've slapped someone like her. You think I'm afraid of doing it again?" Veda's intimidation worked like a charm. Sophia started crying and complaining, aiming her sob story at Michael because she knew she was about to lose his love. "Michael, I didn't do it, I swear. I don't know how the hospital checked. Maybe the private hospital lied to me... I really don't know anything, Michael, believe me, I didn't." Before she could finish, Michael waved her over.

Sophia, smiling through her tears, thought Michael was going to forgive her.

But as soon as she got close, Michael slapped her on the other cheek.

Veda laughed, and Daniel, seeing this, found an excuse to leave.

Michael, furious, said, "Get out, and don't call me that again."

Emily, who had been quiet the whole time, now focused on Michael.

She could see his anger was off the charts.

He hated that Sophia used a child to deceive him, and he hated himself for falling for it.

This wasn't a mistake the president of Smith Corporation should make.

Sophia cried again, "Michael, don't be like this. I really know I was wrong. I didn't know I wasn't pregnant."

Michael, still angry, said, "You're still lying! Do you think everyone here is blind? You were scared. You didn't want Veda to take you to the gynecology department. Do you think I didn't see that? Get out, now! Never let me see you again!" Emily rarely saw Michael this angry. His face was stern, his lips a thin line, and a storm brewed in his eyes.

Looking up, Emily saw Michael's forehead was covered in sweat again.

She realized Michael was still sick, and learning such a cruel truth must have really upset him.

Seeing Sophia leave dejectedly, Veda almost burst out laughing.

She laughed heartily and then said to Emily and Michael, "See, that's what she gets for trying to deceive us! It's been a while since I slapped someone. Michael, you did great this time. We worked together, and now Sophia probably won't dare to be arrogant anymore!"

With that, Veda put her hands on her hips and started chatting with Emily.

Emily knew it wasn't a good time to chat, so she found an excuse to send Veda away.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Seeing Michael looking lost, Emily suddenly realized how ridiculous their recent conflicts must have seemed to Sophia.

"You still need to rest. Lie down."

With that, Emily gestured for Michael to lie down.

Michael nodded and lay down. Emily took a white towel and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Michael then realized it wasn't a dream.

Emily was really helping him wipe his sweat.

The awkward atmosphere surrounded them, and their accidental eye contact made their gazes quickly shift.

After a while, Michael cautiously said to Emily, "I'm sorry."

Although it was quiet, Emily heard it clearly.

She smiled slightly but didn't respond.

The grievances she had suffered in the past few days were real. She wasn't unaffected; she just chose not to hold a grudge for now.
