The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 74 Normal Pursuit

Michael's head was pounding after hearing her words. He'd been on a plane for over ten hours, then drove straight to the city without a break. Sophia's accusations were the last thing he needed. He was annoyed but didn't want to argue. All he cared about was finding out where Emily was and what had happened. Trying to keep his cool, he said, "Sophia, you know I hate repeating myself. Hand over 'Lucky"."

Seeing the anger simmering in Michael's eyes, Sophia didn't dare to push back. She knew how much that hairpin meant to him. If she didn't give it to him now, their relationship would be over for good.

Sophia was fuming at Michael and even more at Emily. Reluctantly, she turned around, picked up the box she had thrown on the ground, and handed it to Michael.

Michael watched her pick up the box from the floor, his anger flaring. He knew Emily had been here. Without even opening the box, he huffed, "Sophia, I warned you last time not to push your luck. I can cover for you once or twice, but three times is too much. I thought you were smarter than this. This is your final warning; there won't be another." With that, he stormed out of the club.

Michael called out, "Andrew, check the club's surveillance. I need to know where Emily went."

Andrew jumped up to take care of it. Michael sat in the back seat of the car, rolling down the window. The night breeze helped ease his headache a bit. He carefully opened the box, only to find the once beautiful hairpin now dismantled, lying there like a broken flower.

He clenched his fists, closing the lid without another look. This hairpin was supposed to be safely delivered to Emily, but now it was ruined because of a misunderstanding. Andrew came back with bad news: Emily had been taken to the hospital by Daniel.

Hearing this, Michael immediately ordered the driver to head to the hospital. The car sped through the night streets.
