The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 544 The Ward Family's Great Calamity

"You gotta get up and explain things to me. I'm totally lost right now. How am I supposed to go with you without knowing the details?"

Emily helped Alice to her feet.

With just a few words, Emily couldn't grasp the whole situation. How could the Ward family fall apart in just a few days?

And Bryan? Why wasn't he with Alice? Didn't Penelope agree to help?

And Luna, she's usually so sharp. How could she get into such a mess?

"You said Luna got pregnant before marriage? Where is she now?"

Alice struggled to sit up, a flash of panic in her eyes. "She's at the hospital. Grandpa wants her to have an abortion."

"She doesn't agree, but the baby is growing every day. How can we wait? Besides, when we found out, she was already almost three months along in her pregnancy. Now, having an abortion is life-threatening. I... I..."

Alice started to sob again, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly exhausted. Seeing her like this, how could Emily not feel heartbroken?

Even though she didn't want to admit it, Emily had to acknowledge that she was related to these people by blood.

She couldn't just ignore them.

Alice turned to Emily. "Emily, we need to go to the hospital. You must have a way to persuade Luna."

Emily could see Alice's urgency, but the baby was already there, and rushing wouldn't help.

She thought for a moment and didn't respond, instead asking another question.

"Wait a minute. Luna is pregnant, but do you know who the father is? Have you asked her?"

Alice froze for a moment before slowly speaking. "She won't say. She just treats the baby as an accident. I don't know what to do with her."
