The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 219 Another Storm Arises

When the nurse heard this, she shot another glance at Emily.

Emily's heart started racing. She was terrified her long-kept secret would come out, causing a whole new mess.

She quickly looked away, avoiding eye contact, and mumbled, "It's just a stomach thing, probably something I got from my parents or something."

The nurse wasn't buying it. "That doesn't sound right," she said firmly.

She'd been at the hospital for over ten years. She wasn't a doctor, but she'd seen her fair share of patients with all sorts of minor issues.

So, hearing Emily's explanation, the nurse suggested, "Mrs. Smith, instead of wasting time, you should go downstairs for a proper check-up. Don't delay treatment by trying random remedies. If the diagnosis is wrong, you'll just be scaring yourself."

Then, something seemed to click for the nurse.

She gave Emily a once-over with her sharp eyes and then chuckled, "With my ten-plus years of experience, I think it looks more like she is pregnant! People with stomach issues don't have rosy cheeks and pink lips like you. You look like a blessed woman."

The nurse laughed to herself after that.

She had no clue about the rocky relationship between Emily and Michael.

All she knew was what she saw online-articles about the two of them attending events together, looking all lovey-dovey.

Everyone thought the Smith family president adored his wife, and they envied Emily, who, despite being an illegitimate child, married into a good family.

"Mr. Smith, you're really lucky. Now that you're about to be discharged, you should take Mrs. Smith for a check-up. After all these years on the job, my gut feeling is always spot on!" With that, the nurse dusted off her clothes and walked out with the medicine tray.
