The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 304 A Terrifying Thought

In contrast, Scarlett was very angry, having never won against Isabella even once. She simply poured the bitter

coffee in front of her into the bowl of milk across from her.

Watching the black and white mix together, Scarlett was momentarily stunned, then suddenly thought of

something.

"Who told you my daughter didn't..."

Yes, it was the sentence Isabella had left unfinished.

Scarlett felt there was something fishy about it, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure it out.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang, interrupting Scarlett's thoughts.

She picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Benjamin.

Seeing this, Scarlett's expression changed instantly.

Ever since Veda ran away from hand Michael went to find her, Mason had been watching her like a hawk.

When he couldn't keep an eye on her, he had Benjamin do it.

In short, the Smith family was like a cage to Scarlett. She knew she was a canary that could never escape. Once

upon a time, she had envied Isabella.

At least Isabella had a good family. Even if she married a useless man, she had the means to leave. But Scarlett,

who seemed to have married well, had lost her support early on and was left with two children who were

indifferent to her.

Now there was also the meddlesMason, restricting her freedom.

Thinking of this, Scarlett felt hatred and jealousy. In her frustration, she wanted to smash the phone to the

ground, but after gritting her teeth and thinking it over, she couldn't give up the luxurious life.

Scarlett decided to answer the phone.

"What do you want?"

On the other end, Benjamin quickly replied.

"I should be asking you that, Mrs. Smith. Where did you go? When are you coming back?"

To Scarlett, Benjamin's words were like a death sentence.

She didn't want to listen to this, so she snapped back, "I'm coming back right now, stop rushing me!"

After hanging up, Scarlett felt a moment of bitterness. She knew she could only take out her anger on Benjamin.

She was ultimately an outsider to the Smith family, a puppet wife of the Smith family. To put it more bluntly, she

was just a breeding machine for the Smith family.

As she thought of this, hatred welled up in Scarlett's eyes, and she gritted her teeth so hard they made a sound.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on the cup of milk that had turned black from the coffee.

In an instant, Scarlett's gaze sharpened like a knife. She clenched her fists, and a terrifying thought arose in her

mind: if she wanted to regain her freedom, what should she do?

Naturally, she had to eliminate the problem at its root. While no one was home, she

had to deal with the people who needed to be dealt with!

On the other side, Veda and Kieran returned to the pharmacy together.

Unexpectedly, they saw Michael, Emily, and Daniel there.

At first, Veda was both resistant and unwilling.

She never expected that the old man who had kindly saved her was actually Daniel's biological grandfather.

Now, Veda couldn't throw a tantrum anymore.

From Kieran, Veda learned how difficult the journey had been for Michael and the others, so she had nothing

more to say.

Plus, with Daniel's additional persuasion, Veda cto understand a lot.

She knew that feelings couldn't be forced, and she realized that after being pampered for so many years, the

outside world really wasn't suitable for her. She couldn't adapt, and she couldn't blanyone.

After thinking it over, Veda decided to go hwith Michael.

Although she still had sresentment towards Emily and Daniel's relationship, she knew that Emily was about

to divorce Michael, so she couldn't blEmily anymore.

Seeing this, Michael knew that Veda had grown up a lot, so he took the initiative to have a good talk with her.

In the evening, the streets of Everglade City were bustling.

Even Kieran's pharmacy was full of people.

They had cto seek Kieran's help with old remedies for difficult illnesses, but he hadn't been around for the

past few days, so everyone had cat this time.

Daniel and Emily stepped forward to help, just in tto have enough hands.

Michael took the opportunity to take Veda to the balcony, where he had apologized to Emily but hadn't received

her forgiveness.

Every the cto this place, Michael felt uneasy.

But after these few days of reflection, Michael knew he had to face it.

"Michael, | know what you want to say. Don't worry, I've thought it through. When | get back, I'll focus on my

studies and help you out. | won't cause any more trouble or run away from home."

Hearing Veda say this, Michael felt very relieved.

But what he wanted to tell Veda was something else.

"Veda, | know you ran away from hthis tbecause of Daniel. Daniel..."

Hearing Michael draw out the name, Veda thought he was going to scold Daniel. Unexpectedly, he spoke with a

sense of helplessness, "Feelings can't be forced."

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the

next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

Hearing this, Veda was momentarily stunned.

She never expected that the always arrogant and oppressive Michael, who looked down on everyone, would say

something like this. Could it be that spending these days in the pharmacy had made him downhearted?

"Michael, you... | finally managed to calm down with Kieran's help these past few days, and now you're like this

again? Do you wantto ask Kieran to help you relax too?

"But Michael, | don't understand. Emily is still by your side. You still have a chance to win her back. | wasn't so

lucky; Daniel never acceptedfrom the beginning. The gap between us is huge!"

'Is that so? ‘Michael completely disagreed with Veda's words.

Just because Emily was by his side didn't mean there was a difference. In fact, Michael felt that the distance

between him and Emily seemed even greater than the distance between Veda and Daniel. At least Daniel had

worried about Veda and had cto Everglade City for her.

But he and Emily... were probably really at the end.

"Veda."

"What?" Hearing Michael call her, Veda turned her head.

At that moment, she caught a fleeting look of distraction on Michael's face.

"When we get back, let's just take good care of Grandpa and Mom. As for other people

and things, if there's no fate, don't think about it anymore. Promise me, okay?"

Veda didn't expect that just a few days apart, Michael had becso much more composed.

Could it be because of Emily?

The power of love was too strong.

But Veda still didn't want to compromise with Michael because of this.

She believed that she and Daniel had no fate, but Michael and Emily...

"Michael, you've been entangled with Emily for so long without breaking up. Why don't you wait until after the

divorce to tellthis?

"Daniel has made it very clear to me. Emily has rejected him twice, which means Emily doesn't like him at all.

Emily likes someone else. Who else could it be but you?"
