The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains
Chapter 205 True or False Pregnancy

Sophia was still fuming, even after all the cursing.

She raised her hand, ready to slap Emily right then and there.

She'd been waiting for this moment for ages, and now that she had the chance to let it all out, she wasn't about to pass it up. Emily was left speechless after Sophia's rant.

Sure, she should've announced her pregnancy sooner.

But even if she had, the Smith family might accept the kid, but Michael wouldn't.

A kid without his dad's acknowledgment? How would he even cope?

Knowing this, it was better for the kid to not have a dad at all than to face endless ridicule.

Emily didn't even realize when Sophia's slap landed square on her face.

She was so numb, she didn't know what to do, and she didn't even notice when Veda showed up.

Veda shouted, "Sophia, how dare you! This is a hospital, and in front of Michael, you dare to hit Emily? Are you out of your mind?"

Veda had come to the hospital to visit Michael, as Mason had asked.

But before she even got into the room, she heard Sophia causing a scene inside.

Veda, with her fiery temper, wasn't about to let Sophia off the hook. She stormed into the room, shoved Sophia aside, and pulled Emily behind her to protect her.

Sophia almost fell from the push, but seeing it was Veda, her initial guilt and anger quickly turned into confusion. She stammered, "I... I was avenging Michael. Michael's in the hospital because of this witch!" "Witch?" Veda's anger flared up again. "Who are you calling a witch? How dare you call Emily a witch? Sophia, you stole her dad and now you want to steal her man. You're the real witch!"

Veda's fierce demeanor was too much for Sophia.

Just as she was about to back down, Michael woke up.

Sophia immediately acted like she'd found her savior, rushing to Michael's side and crying, "Michael, you're awake!"

Michael's eyes drifted over the three women in front of him, finally settling on Emily. "You guys are so loud, it's hard not to wake up."

Sophia, hearing this, laughed awkwardly and then pouted, acting all sweet towards Michael. "Honey, I was so worried about you. As soon as I heard you were in the hospital, I got so nervous and rushed over to see you." Seeing this, Veda couldn't help but sneer and whispered to Emily, "Emily, look at her fake act, it's disgusting!"

Yes, Emily found it disgusting too. Perhaps this was the difference between her and Sophia.

During their almost three years of marriage, she had been calling him Michael, never using terms of endearment like "honey."

Of course, Michael wouldn't have let her call him that either.

But Sophia? She probably had more than one nickname for Michael, especially in bed, right?

Thinking about this, Emily felt a deep sadness.

She tried to push the thoughts away, but then Sophia quickly brought up the child in front of Michael. "I rushed over here, constantly worrying about our baby. Michael, you need to be more careful next time. It's not good for your health." Sophia's constant jabs were too much for Veda, who had a short fuse.

When Sophia mentioned the child, Veda lost it. She let go of Emily's hand and stepped forward. "Child? Whose child?"

Sophia shyly glanced at Michael, then got up and took Veda's hand. Her previous rage was gone, and now she looked like the perfect, gentle, future wife.

Sophia smiled, "Veda, you don't know yet, do you? I'm pregnant with Michael's child. It's been over two months now. From now on, you'll have a nephew. Aren't you happy? I'll make sure my child respects you as his aunt." Veda shot back, "You're lying!"

Sophia never expected Veda to not care at all.

Veda only recognized Emily.

But besides that, Veda thought of something more important. Doing the math, Sophia's child was already two months old, but two months ago... How could Veda forget what happened two months ago?

A month ago, she had just been kidnapped, and a month before that, she had run into Sophia at a bar, where Sophia was drinking heavily.

And a month ago, after recovering, she and Daniel attended Mabel's birthday party and saw Sophia there. Sophia ate several crabs at the party.

If she was really pregnant during these two months and ate crabs, which are harmful to the baby, how could there be no reaction?

Connecting all these dots and seeing Sophia's smug look, Veda immediately asked Emily, "Emily, let me ask you, isn't the first three months of pregnancy the most unstable time for the baby?"

Emily was truly pregnant, and the doctors and Daniel had reminded her countless times about pregnancy precautions.

So she was quite familiar with this matter. Without thinking much, she nodded to Veda.

Seeing this, Sophia got annoyed again. "Veda, are you mistaken? I'm the one who's pregnant. If you have any questions, ask me. Asking someone who hasn't been pregnant is pointless." After telling so many lies, Sophia started to believe she was really pregnant.

She began to insult Emily and suck up to Michael and his sister, not realizing she had already let some things slip. Veda stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"Veda!" Michael and Emily both got nervous and spoke in unison.

In their eyes, Sophia could be a pain, but the child was innocent.

Unexpectedly, Veda said something that shocked everyone. "Sophia, aren't you afraid your child will hear your harsh words? You're about to be a mother. Are you not ready, or were you never prepared?" "You know whether you're really pregnant. Stop lying to us. Do you think Michael is easy to fool? Do you think the Smith family is easy to fool?"
