The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 250 No Patience

Michael couldn't shake off the weird vibes he'd been getting from Emily lately. Was she and Daniel an item now? The thought made his stomach churn.

His forehead creased, and an annoying feeling gnawed at him. Daniel had always been a sore spot for Michael. The guy was stringing along his sister Veda, never fully committing, while also messing around with Emily. He didn't have the guts to come clean to his family yet claimed that he could give up everything for Emily.

Michael knew how marriages worked in wealthy families. Daniel would never sacrifice it all for Emily. He wanted her to see that and, more importantly, not get hurt again. One heartbreak from a rich family was enough.

Meanwhile, in the hospital room...

Emily paused while peeling an orange and made a firm promise to Isabella. "Mom, I'm ready to give up everything."

Isabella sighed, giving Emily that knowing mom look. After a moment, she said, "Emily, I know you better than anyone. You had a thing for Michael three years ago. Feelings can't be forced, but I know you haven't let him go. You say you don't care about what people think or the Smith family drama, but you're just fooling yourself."

Emily felt a pang of doubt. Was her mom right? Did she really care that much about Michael and the Smith family?

Seeing Emily's uncertainty, Isabella sighed and took her hand. "Emily, I know my own body. I'm getting better, and I'll keep supporting you. Since I'm still here, it means I can still help."

"You're still married to Michael. As a Smith, you have to think about the family. But when it comes to the lawsuit with the Browns, I can handle it; don't worry about me. Follow your heart."
