The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 342 Determined to Give Up

Seeing the situation, Emily's nose suddenly tingled, and she couldn't help but turn her

head away.

Isabella noticed and quickly pulled Emily close, her heart aching as she spoke to Michael, "Michael, now that you're awake, I'm taking Emily with me.

"I've already paid all your medical bills. I thank you on Emily's behalf, but she's been waiting for you to wake up for so long without rest. She needs to get some sleep."

With that, Isabella turned to leave, pulling Emily along.

Now that Michael was awake, Emily felt relieved and was ready to leave with Isabella.

Just then, Scarlett suddenly regained her senses. She had been arguing with Isabella over the inheritance, and now that Michael was awake, it was time to clear things up. In Scarlett's eyes, Michael had always had feelings for Sophia.

Emily was just a fleeting novelty.

So when it came to the divorce settlement, Michael should agree with her.

"Wait! Isabella! You think you can just leave without sorting out the settlement? Do you think the Smith family is that easy to push around?"

Scarlett then started nudging Michael, completely ignoring his injuries and need for rest.

Emily, worried, rushed forward to shield Michael. "Mom! What are you doing!" Seeing Emily so anxious, Michael was momentarily stunned, then he smiled.

Scarlett, however, was frozen in place.

When did these two become so close?

She thought Emily was just putting on a show for money.

Scarlett gave Emily a nasty look and spoke harshly, "Now you call me Mom? Emily! Stop pretending in front of Michael!

"Remember how you slapped me this morning? It's so embarrassing to even mention it. I'm your mother-in-law, and you treat me like this? Unbelievable!"
