The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 290 Herbal Medicine Treatment

Kieran smiled, "Since you're out, you should have a good tand enjoy yourself. What's the rush to go back?"

Kieran's words left Veda momentarily stunned.

After all, everyone had always told her that she should stay at home, either studying business courses to inherit

the family business or getting married and having children.

No one had ever said anything like this to her before.

Veda was taken aback, and Kieran noticed her discomfort.

He stepped forward and applied the freshly prepared herbal medicine to Veda's face. "What is this!" Veda

screamed in fright.

"What are you afraid of? It's just herbal medicine, Miss. Lie down and don't waste the herbs | worked so hard to

find!" Kieran said.

Veda could hardly believe what the old man was doing.

In this age, who still used herbs to treat illnesses?

Clearly, an IV drip would do the job.

Kieran seemed to read her mind and argued with Veda. "Herbs have so many benefits. Why don't you guys

believe in them?"

You guys? Veda didn't know who else the old man was referring to, but she assumed they were normal people.

But this old man seemed to be out of touch with the world.

Besides, Veda found the old man somewhat familiar, like someone she knew...

The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.

Veda stopped thinking and drifted off to sleep.

Seeing this, Kieran found a quiet place and called his grandson in Emerald City.

At that moment, Daniel had just finished a surgery.

It went smoothly, and he was in a good mood, except for the fact that Veda's disappearance was still troubling

him.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Daniel answered it, only to hear his grandfather's excited voice. "You rascal, it's

so hard to get you to answer the phone! Are you in surgery again? I've told you clearly, spend more tin the

tech department. Why are you still doing clinical work?"

As soon as he picked up the phone, he was scolded.

Daniel was used to it.

After all, he was born into a family of doctors, and his family had always interfered with his career choices. Now

that he had chosen medicine, the interference was even greater.

Kieran never liked modern medicine.

He certainly didn't like his grandson doing difficult and stressful clinical surgeries.

Why not stay away from the hustle and bustle and be a happy person?

So, Kieran moved away from the busy Emerald City to the peaceful Everglade City.

There, he ran a small herbal shop, and although the incwasn't much, Kieran was carefree.

He didn't care about status or fame.

Besides, Daniel would visit him from tto tand send him money.

In other words, Kieran was living an unconventional retirement in Everglade City.

Daniel understood Kieran's thoughts and his own feelings.

So, at times like this, he would step in and stir things up.

Daniel said, "Alright, Grandpa, | just finished and I'm very tired. Do you have anything to say? I'll hang up and

get srest if..."

"Veda is with me." Before Daniel could finish his words, Kieran interrupted him sternly.

Daniel thought he had misheard and quickly asked. "What? Grandpa, what did you say?"

"| said, Veda is with me, in Everglade City." Kieran repeated.

From Daniel's tone, Kieran could tell that Daniel was surprised and anxious about Veda's whereabouts.

Now he had the upper hand.

Mistaking Daniel's concern for Veda as romantic interest, Kieran continued to warn him. "I'm not letting her go.

She's in a bad state, and if | let her go back to Emerald City alone, she might not make it. Daniel, do a good deed

and cget Veda. Consider it a favor to the Smith family!"

The next morning

After resting, Emily and Michael prepared to return to Everglade City from Phoenix City. To avoid any more

mistakes, they decided to take turns watching the road and resting. Michael's sudden hug had made things a bit

awkward between them.

Although Michael hadn't explained his impulsive action, Emily could tell that he felt different about her now.

But the priority was to find Veda.

Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ne5sto catch every twist and turn. The next chapter

awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now! Just as they were about set off, Emily's phone rang, breaking the

silence.

Michael glanced at the screen and saw Daniel's name.

‘Daniel again.' Michael thought as he fastened his seatbelt. 'Can't he let go? They had only been gone a few

days, and he was already calling.’

Emily was also surprised.

She answered the phone, feeling a bit uneasy since they had already said everything they needed to say a few

days ago.

"Hello? Mr. Wilson?" Emily said.

Emily was surprised to find herself instinctively distancing herself from Daniel.

Daniel didn't seem to mind and asked excitedly. "Emily! Where are you?"

"We... Michael and | are in Phoenix City." Emily answered.

"Phoenix City? Why? That's the opposite direction of Everglade City!" Daniel was confused.

Faced with Daniel's rapid questions, Emily didn't know how to respond.

Michael, who was next to her, could hear the conversation.

Hearing Daniel's voice made Michael even more impatient. He didn't want to hear

Daniel entangled with his nominal wife at such a critical moment.

So, Michael grabbed the phone and spoke assertively. "Daniel, what do you want? We

don't have tfor your romantic ."

"Michael!" Seeing Michael lose his cool, Emily quickly intervened.

After a moment of silence, Daniel finally spoke. "Michael, Veda was robbed in Everglade City and has no money.

She also fainted on the roadside due to low blood sugar. Fortunately, my grandfather saved her. I've asked him

to take good care of her. | don't mean anything else; I just want to go to Everglade City with you to bring Veda

back. | think I should apologize to her, and | should also apologize to you."
