The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 148 Brother's Duty

"Hey, Mr. Smith," Daniel greeted, trying to keep things light. He could totally pick up on the sarcasm in Mason's voice.

But since he was here as a visiting doctor, Daniel wasn't about to show any irritation towards an elder.

So, Mason stayed polite and didn't give him a hard time.

"How's your sleep been lately? You don't look too great. And how's your appetite?" Daniel quickly zeroed in on the problem and thought about giving Mason some acupuncture.

Mason played along, answering all his questions. "Sleep's been rough. I've been having nightmares for some reason. My complexion's only gotten worse recently. The house feels empty, but at least Emily and Michael have been dropping by. As for eating... Emily and Michael have been craving sour foods, so I've been eating some with them. Sour foods help with appetite, so it's been manageable."

But there was a hint of caution in his words, subtly reminding Daniel that Emily was still the Smith family's daughter-in-law and had to serve him as an elder.

Daniel got the message loud and clear.

More importantly, he knew Emily was craving sour foods because she was pregnant.

Even though doctors didn't usually buy into old wives' tales, there was a saying that craving sour foods meant having a boy. If Emily was carrying a boy, the Smith family would be even less likely to let her go.

Thinking about this, Daniel felt their chances were slim. But luckily, Emily had already given up on Michael. If he was patient, Emily would eventually come around.
