The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 3 Believe You or Believe Me

Sophia quickly jumped in with a forced smile, "Oh, I mean, Emily told me she's not ready for kids yet." Deep down, Sophia was terrified that Emily might actually be pregnant with Michael's baby. She looked down, hiding the brief flash of coldness in her eyes.

In the bathroom, Emily couldn't hold it in anymore and squatted by the toilet, dry heaving and tearing up.

Michael, who had followed her in, suddenly felt queasy too. Watching Emily hug the toilet, he rushed to the sink, retching but not throwing up.

He glanced at Emily, who had stopped vomiting, and pressed his stomach, wondering if he'd been drinking too much lately. He stared at the back of her head, puzzled. 'Why am I feeling sick too? Am I just imagining things?' After a bit, Emily stood up, using the toilet for support, and without looking at Michael, walked to the sink.

"Emily, what's going on? If you're not feeling well, why don't you go to the hospital?" he snapped, a bit annoyed.

Emily washed her hands and looked at him in the mirror, her face pale and eyes teary, like a broken doll that made you want to protect her.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Emily ignored his scolding and asked softly, noticing he had been retching too. 'Is he ill?' she wondered.

Michael met her gaze, feeling a sharp pain in his chest. "I should be asking you that. Why did you throw up?" he demanded, staring at her.

Emily felt a pang of guilt; she couldn't let him know she was pregnant. She had to act tough. "Mr. Smith, you said I forgot my role as Mrs. Smith. What about you? Have you forgotten your role as a husband?" Michael's irritation flared, making him forget his earlier confusion. "Emily, I'm worried about your health. Don't change the subject."

Emily knew this wouldn't hurt Sophia because she and her mom believed that the unloved one was the third party. But she couldn't resist the jab.
