The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Celeste had been ranting for a while, but Dean just sat there, silent, which only made her angrier.

Out of nowhere, she remembered her earlier meeting with Murray. She thought she was being smart by playing weak and compromising, thinking she had the upper hand, but to him, it was all just a joke.

And it was the same with Michael, who was younger than her.

Celeste felt her dignity was being stomped on. Her face twisted with rage, and she didn't care about her image in front of the cops anymore. Her anger made her lose it.

"Dean, have you lost your mind? You make Archibald and me clean up all your messes for a woman like that!"

"Have you said enough?" Dean finally looked up, his voice shaky, and it seemed like tears were in his eyes.

The nearby cop had been holding back for a while. Technically, since Deputy Chief Murray had personally arranged for Dean to be visited, the officer was just supposed to watch and not intervene.

But Celeste's relentless scolding was clearly not good for the prisoner's state of mind.

Looking at Dean's lifeless posture, the officer decided to speak up. "Ma'am, please be mindful of the time. It's very late, and you shouldn't waste the limited time on accusations.

"Your visit is already against the rules. It's only because our deputy chief is kind that you're allowed here. Don't push it too far and make things unpleasant for everyone."

But Celeste, in her fury, didn't hear a word.

"What? Even you want to lecture me?" Celeste's voice dripped with disdain. She was so caught up in her rant that she didn't care about the officer's authority. "Is everyone allowed to push me around now?

"Your deputy chief is a reasonable man. We used to be very close. It's only natural that I can break the rules. What can you do about it? I'm going to criticize you all for abusing your power!"

Celeste's voice grew louder, almost to the point of screaming.

The entire Emerald City Police Department could hear the commotion.

Celeste's anger seemed endless, and everyone was getting a headache from the noise. Despite repeated attempts to calm her down, nothing worked.

Finally, Murray ordered that Celeste, who was deliberately causing trouble, be detained as well to put an end to the pointless uproar.

The rain in Emerald City showed no signs of stopping.

Archibald was almost completely unaware of the drama unfolding at the police station that night.

However, he was well-informed about the situation at Emerald City Harmony Hospital. Emily had gone into premature labor.

Michael stood outside the delivery room late at night; his hand clenched the critical condition notice so tightly that his veins bulged. His heart was in his throat.

Inside the delivery room, Emily's painful groans pierced through the walls, and the shrill alarms of the fetal monitor stabbed into Michael's ears like knives.

"Who's the patient's family? The patient has suffered severe stress leading to placental abruption. We need to operate immediately!"

"I'm her husband!" Michael's response was almost instinctive. He answered urgently, his palms sweating.

In the hallway, the night wind carried raindrops that chilled to the bone.

A nurse emerged from the delivery room, carrying blood-stained sheets and explaining the situation to Michael.

His hand trembled as he signed his name, each letter written with great difficulty.

The door to the delivery room closed slowly in front of him, and he felt dizzy. The lights in the operating room flickered on.

The doctors urgently performed a cesarean section. Emily's face was as pale as paper and her vital signs were weak.

Seeing this, Abigail cried uncontrollably in the hallway, repeatedly mumbling the same words.

"Wasn't it supposed to be two more months? How did this happen?"

Hearing this, Michael snapped back to reality.

He had only received a sudden call from Candice an hour ago.

Emily had gone into premature labor, but how could this happen so suddenly?

Although she had been hospitalized after being traumatized by Evelyn, all her vital signs had been stable. Michael had made sure she was fine before letting Abigail take over her care.

He had only been busy with work for two days.noveldrama

How could such a big problem arise?

"What happened? Weren't you supposed to be with Emily?"

Michael, nearly frantic, rushed to Abigail, his voice trembling as he questioned her, looking on the verge of collapse.

Abigail, her eyes filled with tears, choked on her words.

Faced with the situation, she was already terrified.

Now she was crying so hard she couldn't speak.

Candice stepped in, blocking Michael and protecting Abigail. "What are you doing? Michael, calm down. Emily's sudden condition is something none of us wanted!"

Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ñe5s.com to catch every twist and turn. The next chapter awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now! Yes, Candice.

Hearing her voice, Michael looked up sharply, glaring at her as if she were an enemy. Given what had happened with Evelyn not long ago, Michael was now highly suspicious of anyone around Emily.

"Why are you here? You and Emily barely know each other. You haven't even spoken much. You show up at the hospital, and this happens? Candice, who are you really? What..."

To Candice, Michael now seemed like a mad dog, biting anyone in sight.

Abigail, unaccustomed to such scenes, was scared of Michael's behavior, but Candice wouldn't tolerate it.

She slapped Michael hard. "Michael, get a grip!"

"Emily is in there having your baby. She's already under enough stress, and with her condition unstable, she needs our full support. And here you are, losing it outside the delivery room! What do you expect Emily to do?"

Her words were sharp and direct, hitting Michael where it hurt, leaving him speechless. Seeing Michael calm down, Candice continued.

"I came to see Emily today to help. Evelyn's sudden attack on her at home was suspicious. We wanted to find the real culprit.

"We were halfway through discussing it when Abigail went to the bathroom. Emily said

she wanted to go out for a bit, so I went to get a wheelchair. Emily was alone in the room, and when I came back, she was like this.

"No one wanted this to happen, but now that it has, we have to face it, right?"

Candice frowned, feeling both tense and puzzled by the situation.

But now was Emily's most dangerous moment, and priorities had to be set.
