The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 53 The Baby's Heartbeat

Emily thought, 'Maybe it is a mistake to find him in the first place, a mistake from the very beginning.'

Now, the pain caused to several people was all her fault.

Michael looked at Emily but suddenly couldn't speak. Yes, he thought so too. There was no love between them, maybe just some familial affection.

But now, it seemed too late. Emily spoke, suddenly feeling nauseous and queasy again. She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.

Tears and stomach acid surged up together. She leaned over the toilet, feeling like she was going to vomit her entire stomach out. She had never felt this nauseous before. Since seeing Sophia and Evelyn yesterday, she had been feeling vaguely unwell. Just seeing Sophia made her feel physically sick, but Michael had to say those things. Michael, was tormented by the sudden nausea and queasiness as well. He clenched his fists but couldn't hold back and followed Emily into the bathroom to vomit. He wondered, 'Why does it have to be now?' This nauseous, queasy feeling made his face even darker.

When Emily looked up, a tissue and a glass of water were handed to her. Emily didn't look at him or take what he offered. Michael clearly felt that Emily was avoiding him.

By the time he went out, Emily had already left. He didn't know what Emily was doing, why she was feeling unwell but still went out every day. She was so restless, but he didn't know what she could be doing outside. Besides her best friend, he seemed to know nothing about Emily.

Michael couldn't help but start reflecting. Over the years, he had always ignored Emily, neglected her, and treated her coldly, but he thought this was a normal way for two people to get along. Maybe this wasn't what she wanted at all, but he didn't understand what Emily really wanted.

As soon as Emily stepped out the door, her phone rang. She took it out and saw it was Scarlett. She didn't want to answer, but the phone kept ringing, so she had to pick it up. As soon as she answered.

Scarlett harshly questioned, "Tomorrow is Veda's birthday. What gift have you prepared? Don't embarrass her."

Emily felt baffled. "She didn't invite me to the birthday party."
