The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 397 Bryan Visits

Leo was so mad he ended up in the hospital.

Alice took him there, while Luna kept her distance. She was terrified, scared something might happen to Leo, and even more afraid of being blamed.

But Luna was conflicted. Part of her wished that everything would just end this way.

After all, Emily's mom was dead, their so-called aunt Vanessa was dead, and their dad Roger was in prison, having faced his punishment. In the end, everything in the Ward family would belong to her and Alice.

But Luna started to dislike Alice.

They had agreed to go back home together, to study abroad together, and never come back again.

But for some reason, Alice changed her mind.

She got together with Bryan and planned to settle down, get married, and have kids.

What about their promise to each other?

So now, Luna had completely changed, becoming twisted.

She no longer wanted to share anything with Alice.

She wished, wished that everyone in the Ward family except her would just die.

On the other hand, Alice was desperate for Leo to wake up.

Leo had fainted from anger, Luna was still stubborn, Roger was in prison, and their only aunt Vanessa had died tragically. The whole family was in chaos, with many people waiting to see the drama unfold.

Alice was overwhelmed, but thankfully, Bryan was there to help.

"You stay here with your grandpa. Luckily, he's not in any immediate danger, but we can't be too careful. Keep an eye on these funds and the Ward family shares...

"I know I'm an outsider, but in this situation, an outsider might be able to handle things better than family. Alice, I didn't expect you to have this connection with Emily." Bryan was quite surprised when he first found out.

He was friends with Alice and Michael, and Emily was Michael's wife. But now, Emily turned out to be Alice's cousin, making him and Michael family in a roundabout way. "Yeah, I didn't expect it either. So much has happened lately, I'm feeling numb." Alice spoke, her exhaustion evident in her eyes.

Seeing this, Bryan felt a pang of sympathy. He pulled Alice into a hug, but she quickly pulled away. They were in the hallway, with people passing by, and she was afraid of being seen.
