The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 151 Top Speed

With a loud bang, the door slammed shut again.

Veda took a deep breath and waited for a few minutes. When everything was quiet, she cautiously picked up the phone and asked, "Are you still there?"

"Yeah, Veda, you did great. There's definitely a McDonald's nearby; I saw it on the map. Soon, we'll split up with the police one team to catch the guy, and the other to rescue you. Just hang tight and stay calm, okay? Don't do anything that'll make him suspicious." Emily's voice on the other end was steady and reassuring.

Veda never expected this. Emily was actually planning to save her, despite everything Veda had said and done to her, and what Scarlett had done too.

Thinking about all this, Veda, already on edge, felt even more overwhelmed.

Emily said, "Veda, what's wrong? Don't cry. I know you've been through a lot. Michael and I are almost there. Don't worry, Daniel's with us too, we..."

Before Emily could finish, Veda broke down. "Emily, I know I was wrong. I'll never go against you again, and I won't run off anymore. The outside world is too scary. I don't even know how I got into this mess."

Veda apologizing to her? This was the first time since Emily married into the Smith family that she had heard Veda speak to her so sincerely. It was unexpected and left Emily momentarily speechless. She glanced over at Michael. Michael gave her a supportive smile and nodded, silently acknowledging her efforts and thanking her.

But now wasn't the time for sentimentality. Daniel saw they were close to their destination. He confirmed the location with Emily and Michael and started coordinating with the police.
