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. | 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 ssleep."

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 tto clear things up. In Scarlett's eyes, Michael had always had feelings

for Sophia.

Emily was just a fleeting ty.

So when it cto 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 becso close?

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

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

Michael!

"Remember how you slappedthis morning? It's so embarrassing to even mention it. I'm your mother-in-law,

and you treatlike this? Unbelievable!"

Emily slapped Scarlett?

Michael, though not blindly obedient, was still taken aback.

As his expression grew darker and Scarlett's words becmore venomous, Emily found herself unable to

respond.

Isabella was getting very anxious.

She had raised her daughter with so much care, making sure she excelled in every way, not to marry into the

Smith family and be humiliated!

"We don't want the inheritance! Do you think we care about your money?"

With that, Isabella pulled Emily again, this twith more force. Emily winced in pain,

and Michael, lying in bed, saw it but was too weak to protect her.

No one noticed the subtle pain in his eyes, but Isabella and Emily saw Scarlett's unreasonable behavior clearly.

Scarlett was notoriously unreasonable.

Emily knew Isabella was no match for Scarlett.

Seeing Isabella's eyes redden with anger, Emily felt heartbroken and decided to leave the room with her mother.

Isabella, after all the commotion, knew she couldn't win against Scarlett.

Frustrated, she turned to the weak Michael.

"Michael! It's not that | don't want Emily to be with you! It's not that | want to stand in your way, but you see it

yourself, you can't protect Emily! Not in front of your mother, and not in front of anyone!

"Emily will only suffer with you, and | don't want that, | really don't!" By the end, Isabella's voice was choked with

tears.

Emily's long-held grievances burst out, and she started crying again. Michael's heart ached, and just as he was

about to speak, Isabella pulled Emily out of the room. Scarlett's noisy shouting filled the air, and soon Veda

walked in, coldly asking, "What's going on here?"

Scarlett immediately started complaining to Veda.

Michael, irritated by the sharp, grating voices, mustered all his strength to shout, "Get out."

Scarlett's voice drowned out Michael's, but Veda heard enough. She turned to Michael and asked, "Michael, what

did you say?"

Michael had already turned away.

No one saw the tear that slipped from his eye, falling onto the white pillow.

"| said, get out."

Veda didn't need to think much to know Scarlett had upset Michael again.

She quickly pulled Scarlett out of the room.

The hospital room fell silent.

Michael slowly opened his eyes again, and the chair by his bed cinto view.

Emily had been sitting there, and it probably still held her warmth.

Michael didn't understand how things had gotten so bad.

He didn't understand why he had becso weak.

Isabella's words echoed in his mind: "Michael, you can't protect Emily!"

Then Daniel's voice followed: "Michael, Emily can't handle this anymore."

Michael suddenly realized that once something is lost, it's lost. He couldn't change his family, nor could he regain

the motherly love he had missed for so many years. He had to sacrifice his relationship with Emily.

In other words, he shouldn't drag Emily down any longer.

Daniel was right; she deserved a better life.

Michael's mind filled with images of Emily's sorrowful face, her pained expression, her

fear, and her desire to distance herself from him.

He felt a burning pain in his heart, paralyzing him.

The Smith family was in chaos, but they maintained a facade of peace.

Emily and Isabella returned home, cried their hearts out, and resigned themselves to their fate. Life had to go

on.

But the Brown family was in complete disarray.

Hayden couldn't afford to keep the help, so he let them all go, keeping only a live-in housekeeper.

Evelyn caused trouble all day, neglecting housework, either yelling or acting crazy. Now she had even dared to

break in and intentionally harm someone!

The Smith family and Isabella took Evelyn to court. With only Hayden to support her,

he couldn't protect her and watched as the police took her away.

Upon hearing this, Sophia lost it completely.

She locked herself in her room, smashing things and cursing Emily non-stop. Hayden,

fed up with Sophia, insisted on sending her abroad.

This led to another argument between father and daughter.

"I'm not going! | won't go! Hayden, bringback my mom!"

Sophia was closer to Evelyn than to Hayden.

She used to mock Emily for being motherless, for being unloved.

But now?

She had becthe unloved child.
